DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02107-1
Abstract: One significant challenge to biodiversity assessment and conservation is persistent gaps in species diversity knowledge in Earth’s most biodiverse areas. Monitoring devices that utilize species-specific advertisement calls show promise in overcoming challenges associated with lagging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108543
Abstract: Abstract Coherent, multi-species conservation strategies rely on up-to-date assessments of extinction risk, and prioritising and implementing well-founded management and research actions. Using IUCN criteria and methods, we reassessed the conservation status of all 243 Australian… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00298
Abstract: Research on the amphibian skin microbiota has focused on identifying bacterial taxa that deter a pathogenic chytrid fungus, and on describing patterns of microbiota variation. However, it remains unclear how environmental variation affects amphibian skin… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1057398
Abstract: Season has been suggested to contribute to variation in the gut microbiota of animals. The complicated relationships between amphibians and their gut microbiota and how they change throughout the year require more research. Short-term and… read more here.
