All in one: single‐season multi‐clutching in an ephemeral pool‐breeding frog that is otherwise virtually semelparous Open
The sandpaper frog, Lechriodus fletcheri , is a temperate anuran that has previously been shown to be virtually semelparous, with adults overwhelmingly reproducing in a single year of life. Yet, this species almost exclusively oviposits in…

An ephemerality paradox: Evidence of virtual semelparity in ephemeral pool‐breeding anurans Open
Oviparous species that reproduce in unpredictably variable environments risk depositing their eggs in situations that may become unsuitable for offspring survival at any time. This uncertainty often leads to selection for iteroparity as a …

Cheek‐to‐cheek: Communal nesting in an ephemeral pool‐breeding frog Open
Communal nesting is a behaviour exhibited by some oviparous species, the adults of which deposit their eggs over the same time period in a common area and possibly in direct physical contact. While this may occur inadvertently, it is propo…

Factors influencing persistence of a threatened amphibian in restored wetlands despite severe population decline during climate change driven weather extremes Open
Biodiversity is in global decline during the Anthropocene. Declines have been caused by multiple factors, such as habitat removal, invasive species, and disease, which are often targets for conservation management. However, conservation in…
