Several recent studies have demonstrated the occurrence of multiple paternity in
anuran amphibians, implying that it is more common than previously thought.
However, an adaptive explanation for polyandry in anurans is still lacking. The
common toa... Read More about Female polyandry under male harassment: the case of the common toad (Bufo bufo).

AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris) (2006)
Journal Article

DNA-based genetic markers can reveal paternity whenever the direct assignment of fathers to offspring is precluded by multiple matings and internal fertilisation. Microsatellites are the current marker of choice in many behavioural studies, and have... Read More about AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris).
