Species diversity did not differ between damaged areas and the exclusion plot. Frogs were more abundant in areas of high damage; in contrast, toads were found in lower abundance in the high damaged areas then the exclusion plot. The results support the idea that elephan...
Sometimes extreme weather conditions (such as the heavy rainfall in late August which caused a huge rockslide in the Maurienne Valley to close train links between France and Italy) merely derail plans. Some of us, who held a defunct train ticket from Paris to Milan, had to make quick decisi...
Research has shown these habitat modifications to negatively impact foothill yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii). My objectives were to determine the downstream distribution of an exotic ranid frog, the bullfrog, and its relationship to the foothill yellow-legged frog, other n...
Amphibians have unique traits, such as regeneration and longevity in salamanders, frequent vocalization in frogs, and degenerative vision in caecilians. The genetic basis of these traits is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the genetic changes underlying these unique traits, especially...
