SuDS and amphibians - are constructed wetlands really benefitting nature and people? (2018)
Journal Article
O'Brien, D., Hall, J., Miro, A., Rae, M., & Jehle, R. (2018). SuDS and amphibians - are constructed wetlands really benefitting nature and people?. Glasgow Naturalist, 27(Supl.),

While urbanisation is a major threat to global biodiversity, it also brings opportunities for some species. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been installed in all Scottish cities to reduce flood and pollution risk and they can also offer...

Vanishing refuge? Testing the forest refuge hypothesis in coastal East Africa using genome-wide sequence data for seven amphibians (2018)
Journal Article
Barratt, C., Bwong, B., Jehle, R., Liedtke, H., Nagel, P., Onstein, R., …Loader, S. (2018). Vanishing refuge? Testing the forest refuge hypothesis in coastal East Africa using genome-wide sequence data for seven amphibians. Molecular Ecology, 27(21), 4289-4308. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.14862

High‐throughput sequencing data have greatly improved our ability to understand the processes that contribute to current biodiversity patterns. The “vanishing refuge” diversification model is speculated for the coastal forests of eastern Africa, wher... Read More about Vanishing refuge?

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.
