The influence of environmental variation on the genetic structure of a poison frog distributed across continuous Amazonian rainforest (2020)
Journal Article
Ferreira, A., Lima, A., Jehle, R., Ferrao, M., & Stow, A. (2020). The influence of environmental variation on the genetic structure of a poison frog distributed across continuous Amazonian rainforest. Journal of Heredity, 111(5), 457-470. https://doi.org/10.1093/jhered/esaa034

Biogeographic barriers such as rivers have been shown to shape spatial patterns of biodiversity in the Amazon basin, yet relatively little is known about the distribution of genetic variation across continuous rainforest. Here, we characterize the ge... Read More about The influence of environmental variation on the genetic structure of a poison frog distributed across continuous Amazonian rainforest.

Elucidating cryptic diversity in East African frogs : the case of Arthroleptis francei Loveridge, 1953 (2020)
Thesis
Woest, N. Elucidating cryptic diversity in East African frogs : the case of Arthroleptis francei Loveridge, 1953. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Detailed information on the diversity of species and their distributions is crucial for the implementation of useful conservation measures. Here, I focus on the Afromontane region of Malawi and Mozambique, and use molecular techniques, environmental...

Disease reservoirs threaten the recently rediscovered Podocarpus Stubfoot Toad (Atelopus podocarpus) (2020)
Journal Article
Podocarpus Stubfoot Toad (Atelopus podocarpus). Amphibian & reptile conservation, 14(2), 157-164

The Andes have experienced an unprecedented wave of amphibian declines and extinctions that
are linked to a combination of habitat reduction and the spread of the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd). In the present study, a range o... Read More about Disease reservoirs threaten the recently rediscovered Podocarpus Stubfoot Toad (Atelopus podocarpus).

Stable species boundaries despite ten million years of hybridisation in tropical eels (2020)
Journal Article
Barth, J., Gubili, C., Matschiner, M., Torresen, O., Watanabe, S., Egger, B., …Schabetsberger, R. (2020). Stable species boundaries despite ten million years of hybridisation in tropical eels. Nature communications, 11, 1433. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15099-x

Genomic evidence is increasingly underpinning that hybridization between taxa is commonplace, challenging our views on the mechanisms that maintain their boundaries. Here, we focus on seven catadromous eel species (genus Anguilla) and use genome-wide... Read More about Stable species boundaries despite ten million years of hybridisation in tropical eels.
