The Impact of Whole‐Animal Fluid Preservation on the Observed Gut Microbiome of Vertebrates: Implications for the Use of Museum Specimens in Microbiome Research Open
The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and t…

Climate but Not Land Use Influences Body Size of Fowler's Toad (<i>Anaxyrus fowleri</i>) Open
Anthropogenic changes to the environment have been associated with changes in body size of multiple organisms. However, although climate and land use influences on body size have been examined separately, the simultaneous effects and poten…

A user’s guide for understanding reptile and amphibian hydroregulation and climate change impacts Open
Human impacts on ecosystems have intensified variation in water variability for terrestrial life, thus challenging the maintenance of water balance, or hydroregulation. The accelerated development and accessibility of technologies and comp…

Relationships of primary productivity with anuran abundance, richness, and community composition in tropical streams Open
The relationship between primary productivity and diversity has been demonstrated across taxa and spatial scales, but for organisms with biphasic life cycles, little research has examined whether productivity of larval and adult environmen…

Species-richness, abundance, and body size of stream-breeding anurans across land-use types in Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo) Open
Approximately 70% of Earth’s surface is impacted by human land-use. While numerous studies have demonstrated that species richness is higher in primary (undisturbed) forest than in secondary forest or agriculture sites, some studies fail t…

Systematics of the Lao torrent frog, Amolops cremnobatus Inger & Kottelat, 1998 (Anura: Ranidae), with descriptions of four new species Open
The Lao torrent frog Amolops cremnobatus Inger & Kottelat, 1998 was recently hypothesized, based on mitochondrial DNA, to consist of more than a single species across its range in Laos and flanking regions of Vietnam and Thailand. We teste…

Frog body size responses to precipitation shift from resource‐driven to desiccation‐resistant as temperatures warm Open
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 o…

Body size responses to the combined effects of climate and land use changes within an urban framework Open
Alterations in body size can have profound impacts on an organism's life history and ecology with long‐lasting effects that span multiple biological scales. Animal body size is influenced by environmental drivers, including climate change …

Novel Acoustic Snapshot of a Sarawak Forest Open
Auditory signals are often used by forest species to attract mates, define and defend territories, and locate prey, and thus these signals may be monitored and used to estimate species presence, richness and acoustic complexity of a patch …

Additions to Philippine slender skinks of the Brachymeles bonitae complex (Reptilia: Squamata: Scincidae) IV: Resurrection and redescription of Brachymeles burksi Open
The diversity of Philippine amphibians and reptiles has increased over the last few decades, in part due to re-evaluation of species formerly believed to be widespread. Many of these investigations of widespread species have uncovered mult…

Hidden species diversity in Sylvirana nigrovittata (Amphibia: Ranidae) highlights the importance of taxonomic revisions in biodiversity conservation Open
Accurately delimiting species and their geographic ranges is imperative for conservation, especially in areas experiencing rapid habitat loss. Southeast Asia currently has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, is home to …

Signals of forest degradation in the demography of common Asian amphibians Open
Background Lowland areas in tropical East and Southeast Asia have a long history of conversion from forestland to agricultural land, with many remaining forests being chronically degraded by wood cutting, livestock grazing, and burning. We…

Shifts in frog size and phenology: Testing predictions of climate change on a widespread anuran using data from prior to rapid climate warming Open
Changes in body size and breeding phenology have been identified as two major ecological consequences of climate change, yet it remains unclear whether climate acts directly or indirectly on these variables. To better understand the relati…
