Amphibian biology is intricate, and there are many inter‐related factors that need to be
understood before establishing successful Conservation Breeding Programs (CBPs) …

Amphibians are facing an extinction crisis, and conservation breeding programmes are a
tool used to prevent imminent species extinctions. Compared to mammals and birds …

The ability to acquire chemical defenses through the diet has evolved across several major
taxa. Chemically defended organisms may need to balance chemical defense acquisition …

The ectodermic status of Amphibians explains their heavy dependence at ambient
temperatures and thus their sensitivity to global warming. Temperature is likely the main …

Simple Summary In this study, we investigated whether predation pressures in the early life
history of frogs can result in an anuran-affect behavior response in the later stages of their …

This study investigated the effects of dietary protein levels on growth performance,

Abstract The Chinese tiger frog Hoplobatrachus rugulosa is one of the most common frog
species sold in China as food. To examine the combined effects of food supply and larval …

Abstract Stormwater ponds (“SWPs”) are artificial roadside structures, conceived to retain
and clean polluted runoff water, before its release to the environment. SWPs were not …

In 1989 at the First World Congress of Herpetology in Canterbury UK, prominent amphibian
biologists began discussing similarities of declines in their study populations. A short time …

Stormwater ponds (SWPs) are built to collect and retain polluted runoff water from roads.
Consequently, they are not perceived as suitable habitat for wetland species, such as many …
