Behavioural, ecological, and evolutionary aspects of diversity in frog colour patterns
B Rojas - Biological Reviews, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The role of colours and colour patterns in behavioural ecology has been extensively studied
in a variety of contexts and taxa, while almost overlooked in many others. For decades …

From uni-to multimodality: towards an integrative view on anuran communication
Undeniably, acoustic signals are the predominant mode of communication in frogs and
toads. Acoustically active species are found throughout the vast diversity of anuran families …

Sexual dichromatism drives diversification within a major radiation of African amphibians
Abstract Theory predicts that sexually dimorphic traits under strong sexual selection,
particularly those involved with intersexual signaling, can accelerate speciation and produce …

It's not easy being green: Comparing typical skin colouration among amphibians with colour abnormalities associated with chromatophore deficits
J Gould, C McHenry - Ecology and Evolution, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Amphibians can obtain their colour from a combination of several different pigment and light
reflecting cell types called chromatophores, with defects in one or several of the cells …

Breeding biology and the evolution of dynamic sexual dichromatism in frogs
Dynamic sexual dichromatism is a temporary colour change between the sexes and has
evolved independently in a wide range of anurans, many of which are explosive breeders …

A GIS approach to the study of colour anomalies in amphibians of Ukraine reveals the deleterious effect of human impacts
Our study provides a review of colour anomalies in amphibians from Ukraine during the 20

Porphyrins produce uniquely ephemeral animal colouration: a possible signal of virginity
Colours that underlie animal pigmentation can either be permanent or renewable in the
short term. Here we describe the discovery of a conspicuous salmon-pink colouration in the …

Colouration matters in dull toads: ultraviolet adornment for ladies and agrochemicals fading effects
Integument colouration can influence many aspects of fitness, and is under strong sexual
selection. Amphibians often express sexual dichromatism, and ultra-violet (UV) colouration …

[PDF][PDF] Two new Poyntonophrynus species (Anura: Bufonidae) highlight the importance of Angolan centers of endemism
The pygmy toad genus Poyntonophrynus is endemic to southern Africa. The morphology of
these small toads is conserved. They are usually dully colored, and are predominately …
