Freeze tolerance is an amazing winter survival strategy used by various amphibians and
reptiles living in seasonally cold environments. These animals may spend weeks or months …

The terrestrially hibernating wood frog (Rana sylvatica) is well-known for its iconic freeze
tolerance, an overwintering adaptation that has received considerable investigation over the …

We investigated hibernation physiology and freeze tolerance in a population of the wood
frog, Rana sylvatica, indigenous to Interior Alaska, USA, near the northernmost limit of the …

The physical and environmental attributes of landscapes often shape patterns of population
connectivity by influencing dispersal and gene flow. Landscape effects on movement are …

Increasing habitat fragmentation poses an immediate threat to population viability, as gene
flow patterns are changed in these altered landscapes. Patterns of genetic divergence can …

Aim Panzootic chytridiomycosis caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd) is the proximate cause of rapid amphibian declines across diverse …

Identifying congruence in the geographical position of lineage breaks and species range
limits across multiple taxa is a focus of the field of comparative phylogeography. These …

Across all taxa, amphibians exhibit some of the strongest phenological shifts in response to
climate change. As climates warm, amphibians and other animals are expected to breed …

Understanding factors that influence population connectivity and the spatial distribution of
genetic variation is a major goal in molecular ecology. Improvements in the availability of …

A well‐designed sampling scheme is critical for obtaining accurate results from population
genetic studies. Larval samples contain only the genetic material of successful breeders …
