Climate drives anuran breeding phenology in a continental perspective as revealed by citizen-collected data

Lucas Rodriguez Forti et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of climate on anuran reproductive phenology and daily activity in Brazil by analyzing citizen-collected observations. The results showed that climate influenced the timing, duration, and daily patterns of reproduction in frogs. These effects were independent of phylogeny. Most frogs in Brazil reproduce between October and January, but some species may have earlier or later reproductive periods. Frogs in warmer and drier climate regions had shorter and aggregated reproductive seasons, while those in tropical monsoon climate had a more uniform temporal pattern. This study highlights the importance of community science in monitoring the effects of climate change on amphibian reproduction.

The global distribution of known and undiscovered ant biodiversity

Jamie M. Kass et al.

Summary: This study presents the first high-resolution global diversity map for ants, using biodiversity informatics, range modeling, and machine learning. Ants exhibit distinct features in richness and rarity patterns compared to different vertebrate groups, but their distributions are not highly anomalous relative to variation among vertebrate clades.

Employing citizen science to understand amphibian and reptile diversity and distribution in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan

Jigme Tshelthrim Wangyal et al.

Summary: Due to the lack of research institutions and cultural restrictions on lethal sampling of animals, scientific collections in Bhutan are scarce, particularly in regards to reptiles and amphibians. This study utilized citizen science through a dedicated Facebook group to gather species records and improve understanding of the occupancy and distribution of these animals in Bhutan.

Assessing the importance of reproductive modes for the evaluation of altitudinal distribution patterns in tropical frogsPalavras-Chave

Carla C. Siqueira et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the relationship between anuran richness and elevation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and found that richness decreased with increasing altitude at the local scale, while richness peaked at intermediate altitudes at the regional scale. Reproductive mode was found to have a significant impact on the altitudinal distribution of tropical frogs.

Three new tiny species of the microhylid frog genus Cophixalus Boettger, 1892 from central Papua New Guinea

Rainer Gunther et al.

Summary: Three new species of frogs in the asterophryine microhylid genus Cophixalus from the central cordillera of New Guinea are described, characterized by their small size, reduced first fingers, narrow ridges on the dorsum, and small terminal discs on the fingers. These frogs were found in montane rainforest habitat, with males calling at night during or after heavy rain. The study brings the total number of described Cophixalus species in the New Guinea region to 51, with potential for additional undiscovered forms in natural habitats.

Prioritizing areas for conservation outside the existing protected area network in Bhutan: the use of multi-species, multi-scale habitat suitability models

Ugyen Penjor et al.

Summary: This study found that protected areas and forest cover were strongly associated with habitat use of most modelled species. Topographical features, like terrain roughness and slope position, also contributed to habitat selection of multiple species. Environmental and topographical variables were mostly selected at medium to broad scales. Conversely, anthropogenic variables like agriculture and built-up areas were negatively associated with habitat suitability of most species at both fine and broad scales.

Exploring the vertebrate fauna of the Bird's Head Peninsula (Indonesia, West Papua) through DNA barcodes

Evy Arida et al.

Summary: Biodiversity knowledge varies greatly across different biomes on Earth, with some remote areas experiencing large taxonomic knowledge gaps. Tropical biodiversity hotspots are of high concern due to rapid development of anthropogenic activities. The study in the Bird's Head Peninsula suggests that vertebrate diversity in the area is underestimated, highlighting the importance of further exploration and discussion on evolutionary origins and taxonomic knowledge.

A herpetofauna with dramatic endemism signals an overlooked biodiversity hotspot

Fred Kraus

Summary: The Milne Bay Region in southeasternmost Papua New Guinea is home to the greatest known assemblage of range-restricted endemic herpetofauna for such a small area globally. Most of these species are found in only one or two of the 11 small areas of local endemism in the region. Despite its smaller size compared to other regions of notable endemic biodiversity, the Milne Bay Region has a far larger number and density of endemic herpetofauna.

Amphibians in Zootaxa: 20 years documenting the global diversity of frogs, salamanders, and caecilians

Mauricio Rivera-Correa et al.

Summary: Zootaxa, as a mega-journal, has played a crucial role in documenting the planet's biodiversity, especially in the field of amphibians over the past 20 years. It has served as a key platform for taxonomic publications, with a significant number of new species descriptions being published in its pages.
