Population Status and Population Genetics of Northern Leopard Frogs in Arizona We analyzed genetic diversity within and genetic divergence among populations of northern leopard frogs, across both extant and recently extirpated populations in Arizona. We also analyzed mitochondrial DNA to place these populati...
Biology and Systematics of a New Limnodynastine Genus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) From North-Western Australia The new leptodactylid genus Megistolotis and new species Megistolotis lignarius are described from localities in northern Western Australia and the Northern Territory. M. lignarius inhabits...

northern Madagascarspecies-identificationsystematicsThe study of diamond frogs (genus Rhombophryne , endemic to Madagascar) has been historically hampered by the paucity of available specimens, because of their low detectability in the field. Over the last 10years, 13 new taxa have been described, ...

The second and third clades inhabiting eastern Mexico and northern Central America correspond to C. rhodopis and C. loki, respectively. Additionally, we examined the taxonomic distribution of certain colour pattern traits and compensatory mutations in Domain III of the mtDNA 12S ribosomal RNA gene. ...
A 21-day exposure of adult Northern leopard frogs (Lithobates pipiens) to the NEO IMI, showed that the control group lost the most body mass and the group exposed to 500 ppm IMI lost the least body mass, indicative of a hormetic growth response [108]. When Northern leopard frog tadpoles ...
In order to study the diversity, phylogenetic relationships and distribution of marsh frogs of the Pelophylax ridibundus complex in Kazakhstan and northwest China, we conducted phylogeographic analyses of 125 samples from 53 localities using the mtDNA ND
