Phenotypic Plasticity Across Gradients of Predation and Competition in Larval Amphibians

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Many taxa encounter a wide range of conditions for any particular environmental variable and they experience variation in multiple environmental variables simultaneously, which may have interactive effects if different environmental types induce opposing phenotypes.

Mitochondrial Phylogenomics and Genome Evolution in Anura: Insights From Structure and Gene Order Rearrangements

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Taxonomic identity of the Glandirana emeljanovi (Anura, Ranidae) in Korea revealed by the complete mitochondrial genome sequence analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The Glandirana emeljanovi is a frog known to live in northeastern China and the Korean peninsula, but the taxonomic identity of animals from Korea is still uncertain. Here, we first determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of G.

Bile salts of frogs: a new higher bile acid, 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 26-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid from the bile Rana plancyi.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1980
Bile salts of ten species of frogs of the family Ranidae were examined by means of thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Their major bile alcohols were ranol, cyprinol, or bufol.

Monitoring the Prevalence and Distribution of Chytrid Fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) in the Kihansi Spray Toad (Nectophrynoides asperginis) Population in the Kihansi Gorge Spray Wetlands, Tanzania

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
How to manage the continued impact of Chytrid fungus on Kihansi Spray Toad population in the wild. ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is fatal to some amphibian species, whereas others can carry the pathogen without developing disease.

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.
