Farewell to the bottle trap? An evaluation of aquatic funnel traps for great crested newt surveys (Triturus cristatus) (2013)
Journal Article
funnel traps for great crested newt surveys (Triturus cristatus). Herpetological journal, 23(4), 241-244

Aquatic funnel traps are an established technique for the capture of newts. In the United Kingdom they are widely used for commercial surveys of great crested newts (Triturus cristatus) to comply with EU regulations during land developments such as c...

The use of genetic markers to reveal dynamic processes in a common toad (Bufo Bufo) population (2013)
Thesis
Coles, R. The use of genetic markers to reveal dynamic processes in a common toad (Bufo Bufo) population. (Thesis). University of Salford

In contrast to birds and mammals for example, amphibian population studies only rarely capture information based on genealogical relationships among individuals. As a consequence, we only have very limited knowledge about individual fitness measures...

Sexual size dimorphism in anurans fails to obey Rensch’s rule (2013)
Journal Article
Rensch’s rule. Frontiers in Zoology, 10(10), https://doi.org/10.1186/1742-9994-10-10

Background: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is related to ecology, behaviour and life history of organisms. Rensch’s rule states that SSD increases with overall body size in species where males are the larger sex, while decreasing with body size when...

Assessing Risk and Guidance on Monitoring ofBatrachochytrium dendrobatidisin Europe through Identification of Taxonomic Selectivity of Infection (2013)
Journal Article

Assessing Risk and Guidance on Monitoring ofBatrachochytrium dendrobatidisin Europe through Identification of Taxonomic Selectivity of Infection. Conservation Biology, 28(1), 213-223. https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.12128

Amphibians are globally threatened, but not all species are affected equally by different threatening processes. This is true for the threat posed by the chytridiomycete fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis). We compiled a European data set for B....
