High aquatic niche overlap in the newts Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus (Amphibia, Urodela) (2000)
Journal Article
T. marmoratus (Amphibia, Urodela). Hydrobiologia, 437, 149-155

We studied spatial niche metrics of large-bodied newts (Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus) in three breeding ponds in western France. Adults and larvae were sampled with underwater funnel traps. Larvae were identified to the species with diagnos... Read More about High aquatic niche overlap in the newts Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus (Amphibia, Urodela).

Rare hybridization and introgression in smooth and palmate newts (Salamandridae: Triturus vulgaris and T. helveticus) (1998)
Journal Article
Triturus vulgaris and T. helveticus). Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 36, 111-122

This paper describes the occurrence of hybridization and introgression in two species of amphibians (the newts Trifurus helrelicus and Trirurus culgaris) in mid-Wales, northern France and western France. A single aberrant adult male with intermediat... Read More about Rare hybridization and introgression in smooth and palmate newts (Salamandridae: Triturus vulgaris and T. helveticus).

Graded call variation in male Asian cricket frogs (Rana nicobariensis) (1998)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., & Arak, A. (1998). Graded call variation in male Asian cricket frogs (Rana nicobariensis). Bioacoustics, 9, 35-48

We describe the vocal repertoire of the Asian cricket frog Rana nicobariensis for the first time. Three structurally-distinct call types exist: advertisement calls, aggressive calls and encounter calls. Compound calls consisting of both advertisement...

Pits versus patterns: effects of transponders on recapture rate and body condition of Danube crested newts (Triturus Dobrogicus) and common spadefoot toads (Pelobates Fuscus) (1998)
Journal Article
Dobrogicus) and common spadefoot toads (Pelobates Fuscus). Herpetological journal, 8, 181-186

During a long-terrn study (1987-1996) near Vienna (Austria), individual Danube crested newts (Trititrus dobrogicus) and cornmon spadefoot toads (Pelobates fuscus) were registered by photographs of highly variable Skin patterns, and the implantation...

Structure and dynamics of central European amphibian populations: A comparison between Triturus dobrogicus (Amphibia, Urodela) and Pelobates fuscus (Amphibia, Anura) (1995)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., Hodl, W., & Thonke, A. (1995). Structure and dynamics of central European amphibian populations: A comparison between Triturus dobrogicus (Amphibia, Urodela) and Pelobates fuscus (Amphibia, Anura). Australian journal of ecology, 20, 362-366

During a long-term study of the amphibian fauna on an artificial island near Vienna (Austria), one isolated site was completely encircled with a permanent drift fence and pitfall traps. Eleven amphibian species occurred at the study site. For the Com...

Spatial distribution of anuran assemblages from Caxiuanã, Brazil : testing the riverine barrier hypothesis and the influence of life-history traits
Thesis
Coates, M. (in press). Spatial distribution of anuran assemblages from Caxiuanã, Brazil : testing the riverine barrier hypothesis and the influence of life-history traits. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Knowledge of community composition is essential for the understanding of biodiversity and forming effective conservation plans. In the Amazon basin, the spatial structure of animal communities has often been explained by the riverine barrier hypothes...

Differential diagnosis of Triaenophorus crassus and T. nodulosus experimental infection in Cyclops abyssorum praealpinus (Copepoda) from the Alpine Lake Grundlsee (Austria) using PCR–RFLP
Journal Article
Grundlsee (Austria) using PCR–RFLP. Parasitology Research, 109(3), 745-750. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-011-2317-4

In 2005, an epidemic of the cestode Triaenophorus crassus in Arctic charr, Salvelinus umbla from Lake Grundlsee (Austria) was reported, resulting in the closure of the local fisheries. The parasite uses a copepod and a salmonid fish as intermedia...

Identification of 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata (Passeridae, Aves)
Journal Article
(Passeridae, Aves). Molecular ecology notes (Print), 5, 298-301. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-8286.2005.00907.x

Polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in order to determine paternity in a captive population of the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata . Primer sets from 93 published passerine microsatellite sequences were tested for cross-species ampli...
