Roadkill has become a pivotal issue in the global decline of amphibian populations.Conventional research methods have typically relied on the examination of dried carcasses found long after wildlife-vehicle collisions...
Adaptative strategies of the frog, Nanorana parkeri, to extreme environments at high altitude are linked with the evolution of their own genetic mechanisms and phenotypic traits. However, to date, the roles of symbiot...

Parental care is a trait that shows tremendous diversity both within and across various animal taxa,constituting a focal point in evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology(Royle et al.2012;Kappeler 2022).It forms an...
Ranaviruses are harmful viruses that infect amphibians, fish, and reptiles, and have caused particularly devastating declines in amphibian populations. One particular type of ranavirus, called Frog Virus 3 (FV3), has ...

Considering the increased anthropogenic impacts,species with a limited range and low detectability often lack fundamental information and conservation actions,placing them at a high risk of endangerment.The Chinting a...
Amphibian aircraft have seen a rise in popularity in the recreational and utility sectors due to their ability to take off and land on both land and water, thus serving a myriad of purposes, such as aerobatics, survei...

Prey species may have their own optimal escape strategy to balance predation risks and the energetic cost of fleeing.Some species have an advantage when maintaining a short fleeing distance,while others may favour an ...
Background Temperature,as one of the effective environmental stimuli in many aspects of species life and ecosystems,can affect amphibians in many ways.Knowing and predicting temperature change and its possible effects...
