- Colouration in amphibians as a reflection of nutritional . . .
Assessment of nutritional status is a challenging task in free-living species, but across species, researchers have used morphometric analysis, comparing size and weight to estimate body condition [28,29], as well as measurement of blood metabolite concentration, the latter which may render more mechanistic insights into nutritional status
- The amphibian microbiome: natural range of variation . . .
Recent research in humans, livestock, and wildlife using high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) has identified that resident microbiota play an essential role in disease resistance, host health, and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stressors Since amphibians are currently facing population declines and extinctions attributable to anthropogenic pressures and emerging diseases, an
- Amphibian Population Declines: 30 Years of Progress in . . .
Abstract In 1989, it dawned on participants at the First World Congress of Herpetology that observed declines in amphibian populations might actually be global in scope and unprecedented in severity Three decades of research since then has produced an enormous increase in our knowledge of amphibian ecology and appreciation of the complexity of possible causes for amphibian population
- “Heaven” of Data Deficient Species: The Conservation Status . . .
Predicting the true status of Data Deficient (DD) species is a prominent theme in recent conservation biology, but there still is much debate regarding the conservation approach that should be used for DD taxa and no definitive conclusions are yet available We review and analyse the current data available on the conservation status of amphibians in Vietnam, with an emphasis on the DD species
- Comparative analysis of amphibian genomes: an emerging . . .
Amphibians are the most threatened group of vertebrates and are in dire need of conservation intervention to ensure their continued survival They have many unique features including a high
- Working Groups – IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group
For more information on the ASG Regional Working Groups and their leadership please visit Regional Working Groups Task Forces ASG Task Forces (TF) comprise groups of ASG members that have a specific taxonomic or thematic focus (different from the ACAP-focused Working Groups) and who wish to consolidate efforts and build knowledge on their respective study groups or themes
- Microplastics as an emerging threat to amphibians: Current . . .
A total of 34 species, which accounted for only 0 4% of the total amphibian species and belonged to 16% of the existing amphibian families, were assessed in the studies on MPs in amphibians (Fig 2B and C)
