Hybridisation as a Potential Extinction Threat to an Endangered Australian Frog
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71494
Abstract: ABSTRACT Of the many threats to species' survival, genetic threats such as hybridisation and introgression are often overlooked. Threatened or range‐restricted species that hybridise with more abundant and widespread relatives can be particularly vulnerable to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9589
Abstract: Abstract Climate change threatens biodiversity in a range of ways, including changing animal body sizes. Despite numerous examples of size declines related to increasing temperatures, patterns of size change are not universal, suggesting that one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2017.06.002
Abstract: The wood frog (Rana sylvatica) can survive the winter in a frozen state, in which the frog's tissues are also exposed to dehydration, ischemia, and anoxia. Critical to wood frog survival under these conditions is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arz172
Abstract: Male secondary sexual traits potentially function as indicators of direct or indirect fitness benefits to females. Direct benefits, such as paternal care, may be especially important to females in species with biparental care. In an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaa037
Abstract: Synopsis The adhesive toe pads of tree frogs have inspired the design of various so-called ‘smooth’ synthetic adhesives for wet environments. However, these adhesives do not reach the attachment performance of their biological models in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lra.2022.3142845
Abstract: Frogs reveal superior shock-absorption ability, which is mainly brought by the forelimbs. Frogs touch the ground with their forelimbs first in landing, followed by the elbow joints’ compression. In this process, the muscles and tendons… read more here.
