Soil and forest structure predicts large-scale patterns of occurrence and local abundance of a widespread Amazonian frog (2018)
Journal Article
Ferreira, A., Jehle, R., Stow, A., & Lima, A. (2018). Soil and forest structure predicts large-scale patterns of occurrence and local abundance of a widespread Amazonian frog. PeerJ, https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.5424

The distribution of biodiversity within the Amazon basin is often structured by sharp environmental boundaries, such as large rivers. The Amazon region is also characterized by subtle environmental clines, but how they might affect the distributions...

Genetic diversity of common toads (Bufo bufo) along the Norwegian coast : disjunct distribution of locally dominant haplotypes (2018)
Journal Article
haplotypes. Herpetological journal, 28(3), 127-133

Little is known about the phylogeographic history of amphibian populations along the western Fennoscandinavian coast. In the present study, we focus on the common toad (Bufo bufo) and document the spatial distribution of mitochondrial DNA (cytb) ha...

High genetic diversity and lack of pronounced population structure in five species of sympatric Pacific eels (2018)
Journal Article
Gubili, C., Schabetsberger, R., Poellabauer, C., Bates, B., Wagstaff, R., Woodward, L., …Jehle, R. (2018). High genetic diversity and lack of pronounced population structure in five species of sympatric Pacific eels. Fisheries Management and Ecology, 26(1), 31-41. https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12287

Understanding the population structure of tropical anguillids residing in the Pacific is vital for their conservation management. Here, the population genetic structure of five sympatric freshwater eels (Anguilla marmorata Quoy & Gaimard, A. me...

Skin swabs with FTA® cards as a dry storage source for amphibian DNA (2018)
Journal Article
Ward, A., Hide, G., & Jehle, R. (2019). Skin swabs with FTA® cards as a dry storage source for amphibian DNA. Conservation Genetics Resources, 11, 309-311. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12686-018-1018-z

Amphibians are the most endangered group of vertebrates, and conservation measures increasingly rely on information drawn from genetic markers. The present study explores skin swabs with Whatman FTA® cards as a method to retrieve PCR-amplifiable amph... Read More about Skin swabs with FTA® cards as a dry storage source for amphibian DNA.

A genetically-informed population viability analysis reveals conservation priorities for an isolated population of Hyla arborea (2017)
Journal Article
Kirchhoff, J., Krug, A., Pröhl, H., & Jehle, R. (2017). A genetically-informed population viability analysis reveals conservation priorities for an isolated population of Hyla arborea. Salamandra (Frankfurt), 53(2), 171-182

Population Viability Analysis (PVA) is a commonly used tool to predict the fate of endangered populations. However, although amphibians are the most endangered group of vertebrates, PVAs have so far been underrepresented in their conservation managem...

Acoustic orientation in the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) (2016)
Journal Article
Madden, N., & Jehle, R. (2016). Acoustic orientation in the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus). Amphibia-Reptilia, 38(1), 57-65. https://doi.org/10.1163/15685381-00003083

We carried out laboratory experiments to determine whether orientation during migration in the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) is influenced by acoustic information. Newts retrieved during the aquatic breeding seasons (adults), as well as dur... Read More about Acoustic orientation in the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus).

Habitat requirements and conservation needs of peripheral populations : the case of the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) in the Scottish Highlands (2016)
Journal Article
Miro, A., O’Brien, D., Hall, J., & Jehle, R. (2016). Habitat requirements and conservation needs of peripheral populations : the case of the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) in the Scottish Highlands. Hydrobiologia, 792(1), 169-181. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-016-3053-7

Edge populations are of conservation importance because of their roles as reservoirs of evolutionary potential and in understanding a given species’ ecological needs. Mainly due to loss of aquatic breeding sites, the great crested newt Triturus crist...

Reciprocal sexual size dimorphism and Rensch’s rule in Toad-headed lizards (Phrynocephalus vlangalii) (2016)
Journal Article
Zhao, L., Chen, Y., Lou, S., Huang, Y., Jehle, R., & Liao, W. (2016). Reciprocal sexual size dimorphism and Rensch’s rule in Toad-headed lizards (Phrynocephalus vlangalii). Salamandra (Frankfurt), 52(3), 261-268

Rensch’s rule describes a pattern of allometry whereby sexual size dimorphism (SSD) increases with body size when males are the larger sex, and whereby SSD decreases with body size when females are larger in interspecific comparisons. In groups of re... Read More about Reciprocal sexual size dimorphism and Rensch’s rule in Toad-headed lizards (Phrynocephalus vlangalii).

Multiple paternity in a viviparous toad with internal fertilisation (2016)
Journal Article
Sandberger-Loua, L., Feldhaar, H., Jehle, R., & Roedel, M. (2016). Multiple paternity in a viviparous toad with internal fertilisation. Naturwissenschaften, 103(7-8), 51. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00114-016-1377-9

Anurans are renowned for a high diversity of reproductive modes, but less than 1% of species exhibit internal fertilisation followed by viviparity. In the live bearing West African Nimba toad (Nimbaphrynoides occidentalis), females produce yolk-poor... Read More about Multiple paternity in a viviparous toad with internal fertilisation.
