ABSTRACT Chemical communication during courtship is well documented in salamanders and newts, but its role in frogs is less understood. In some Neotropical poison frogs, males exhibit specialised mucous glands (SMGs) in the hand integument that express high levels of sodefrin precursor‐like factors (SPFs), an amphibian pheromone. Some species also show

We examined 22 years of mark and recapture data for an endangered amphibian (Rana muscosa) and estimated longevity, age‐specific survival, and mean generation time. The oldest individual was determined to be at least 21 years old. ABSTRACT Life history strategies vary widely among species and play a vital role in extinction risk, especially in a ...

ABSTRACT Parreira. I.P. 2025. Age structure and size variation in three closely related species of casque‐headed frogs of the genus Trachycephalus (Hylidae: Lophyohylini)—Acta zoologica (Estocolmo). This study provides insights into longevity, sexual maturity and growth curves in closely related casque‐headed treefrogs distributed across distinct ...

We investigated natural hybridization among three rapid frogs in eastern Oklahoma. Using genomic SNP data and cranial morphometrics, we confirmed the presence of hybrids exhibiting intermediate traits. Despite overlapping breeding phenologies, minimal introgression suggests hybrid fitness may be considerably lower than that of parental populations ...

Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a major driver of amphibian decline worldwide. The global presence of Bd is driven by a synergy of factors, such as climate, species life history, and amphibian host susceptibility.

ABSTRACT Wild populations face unprecedented pressure from an assortment of anthropogenic environmental changes and parasites. We sought to understand how host–parasite interactions are affected by the interactive effects of multiple environmental stressors and subsequent parasite infection.
