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...
