Calls, colours, shape, and genes: a multi-trait approach to the study of geographic variation in the Amazonian frog allobates femoralis (2009)
Journal Article
frog allobates femoralis. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 98(4), 826-838. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2009.01324.x

Evolutionary divergence in behavioural traits related to mating may represent the initial stage of speciation. Direct
selective forces are usually invoked to explain divergence in mate-recognition traits, often neglecting a role for
neutral process... Read More about Calls, colours, shape, and genes: a multi-trait approach to the study of geographic variation in the Amazonian frog allobates femoralis.

Asymmetric viability of reciprocal-cross hybrids between crested and marbled newts (triturus cristatus and t. marmoratus) (2009)
Journal Article
cristatus and t. marmoratus). Evolution, 63, 1191-1202. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1558-5646.2009.00611.x

Hybridization between divergent lineages often results in reduced hybrid viability. Here we report findings from a series of
independent molecular analyses over several seasons on four life stages of F1 hybrids between the newts Triturus cristatus a... Read More about Asymmetric viability of reciprocal-cross hybrids between crested and marbled newts (triturus cristatus and t. marmoratus).

Care and parentage in a skin-feeding Caecilian amphibian (2008)
Journal Article
amphibian. Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Comparative Experimental Biology, 309A, 460-467

An exceptional form of parental care has recently been discovered in a poorly
known caecilian amphibian. Mothers of the Taita Hills (Kenya) endemic Boulengerula taitanus
provide their own skin as a food source for their offspring. Field data sugges... Read More about Care and parentage in a skin-feeding Caecilian amphibian.

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci for Allobates femoralis, an Amazonian dendrobatoid frog (2008)
Journal Article
an Amazonian dendrobatoid frog. Molecular Ecology Resources, 8, 1326-1328. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1755-0998.2008.02304.x

Within the anuran amphibians, dendrobatoids (poison-arrow frogs) are renowned for their
parental care, but the lack of highly variable DNA markers so far precluded precise and
comprehensive measurements of their genetic mating system. Here we prese... Read More about Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci for Allobates femoralis, an Amazonian dendrobatoid frog.

Genetic dissimilarity predicts paternity in the smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) (2007)
Journal Article
(Lissotriton vulgaris). Biology Letters, 3, 526-528. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2007.0311

Under sperm competition, paternity is
apportioned by polyandrous females according
to the order of matings and the genetic quality
of the inseminating males. In order to distinguish
between these two effects, we sequentially
paired 12 female smo... Read More about Genetic dissimilarity predicts paternity in the smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris).
