The ongoing biodiversity crisis is strongly threatening amphibians, mostly because of their
peculiar physiology, their sensitivity to climate change and the spread of diseases. Effective …

European plethodontid salamanders (genus Speleomantes; formerly Hydromantes) are a
group of eight strictly protected amphibian species which are sensitive to human-induced …

Amphibians are challenging to mark for recapture due to their small size and permeable,
sensitive, and often frequently shed skins. Photographic identification and pattern matching …

Population monitoring is a crucial method for conservation projects, especially for the highly
endangered clade of amphibians which is threatened by habitat loss and emerging …

Computer-aided individual recognition of animals based on their natural markings has
become an indispensable tool in ecology research. However, this is problematic in species …

This study explores the potential of photo-identification methods (PIMs) as a viable, non-
invasive, and ethical tool for wildlife studies, with a specific focus on anuran species such as …

Individual recognition of animal species is a prerequisite for capture-mark-recapture (CMR)
studies. For amphibians, photoidentification of body pattern is a non-invasive and less …

The photographic identification (photo‐ID) of individual animals can be time‐consuming and
erroneous. Recent efforts to collect photographs of leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) from …

Photographic mark–recapture is a recently developed method that uses photographs of
naturally occurring body patterns to identify individual animals. This method may be …

Boldness is a personality trait defined as the propensity of an animal to engage in risk-taking
behaviours. Boldness is often associated with social ranking, dispersal, movement, and …
