More accurate, consistent, and reliable data for amphibian species are needed from China's nature reserves Open
Detailed, accurate, and reliable data regarding the occurrence of amphibian species in nature reserves (NRs) are important to facilitate effective conservation and management programs. We evaluated the current situation and research gaps i…

Molecular phylogeny and morphological comparisons of the genus <i>Hebius</i> Thompson, 1913 (Reptilia: Squamata: Colubridae) uncover a new taxon from Yunnan Province, China, and support revalidation of <i>Hebius septemlineatus</i> (Schmidt, 1925) Open
We describe a new species of the genus Hebius and provide evidence for the validity of H. septemlineatuscomb. nov. Morphological and molecular analyses of Hebius specimens collected in Yunnan Province, China, revealed three distinct lineag…

A new species of the genus Leptobrachella Smith, 1925 (Anura, Megophryidae) from Guizhou, China Open
Asian leaf-litter toads of the genus Leptobrachella represent charismatic anuran diversification with 80 species, of which 25 are from China. Recent new discoveries suggest that the diversity of this genus is underestimated. Here, we descr…

Nidirana chapaensis (Bourret, 1937), one additional anuran species for the amphibian fauna of China Open
The China-Vietnam border region is a well-known biodiversity hotspot, harboring a striking diversity of species and endemism. However, the largest part of this region is so far understudied due to restrictions by political boundaries and d…
