The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Nearly Threatened Kwang‐Yang Asian Frog Nanorana quadranus (Anura: Dicroglossidae) and Its Phylogenetic Analyses

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of the near‐threatened frog Nanorana quadranus from the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The 20,173 bp mitogenome includes 13 protein‐coding genes, 21 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis places N. quadranus in a clade with N.

Evaluating the Use of Environmental DNA as a Method to Determine Occupancy and Distribution of Coeur d'Alene Salamanders in Montana

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

Characterisation of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in Japanese Ranidae frogs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a key component of adaptive immunity in all jawed vertebrates, and understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped these genes in amphibians, one of the earliest terrestrial tetrapods, is important.

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.
