Mating with many males means more viable nests and improved offspring survival or performance for African Grey Foam-Nest Treefrogs.
A new study tracks how young frogs are trying to avoid a deadly fungal infection.
Translocation intends to minimize the impacts of development. Research shows that we are moving millions of animals and have no idea what happens to them next.
The strange fossils were lost in museum collections around the world for some 50 years.
Some salamanders begin their spring migration in the deep cold. New field research shows how they stay active without freezing.
The new species is the earliest known Australian tree frog.
Scientists added descriptive terms to the existing general Indigenous frog and reptile names to make them specific.
Despite dutiful toad patrols, evidence suggests that the amphibians are declining in the UK.
New research shows frogs and other amphibians are already on the brink of overheating in a warming world. Here’s how many will suffer as global temperatures rise.
Our research figured out exactly how some frogs produce glue – and it might help us make new, innovative adhesives for surgery.
Among the poisons found in 36% of the frogs tested, rodenticide was detected for the first time. Pesticides are considered a threat to hundreds of amphibian species.
Only after a species is identified and listed by taxonomists can it be protected. Yet we still don’t have one globally agreed-upon list of every species. A new 74-nation survey points to the solution.
New research looks at how different species have managed to cross geographic barriers throughout history and whether their individual traits played a crucial role in these journeys.
Introduced species and diseases can drive native species into smaller environmental niches – and that could mean change to how we work to conserve them.
Great crested newts cause expensive delays to construction – trained sniffer dogs may offer a solution.
The chytrid fungal disease has been decimating frog populations worldwide for decades, and research progress has been slow. A new method for detecting the disease could help change its course.
Huge swathes of Africa remain unstudied and their species undocumented.
Amphibians have been devastated by a chytrid fungus pandemic. Researchers immunized California red-legged frogs in Yosemite to give them a fighting chance at survival, with surprising results.
New research has found that since the mid-1980s, the economic impact of invasive reptiles and amphibians totals more than US$17 billion.
