This study explores how climate variables influenced the evolution and diversification of
Neurergus newts within the Irano‐Anatolian biodiversity hotspot. We use a dated …

Aim Longevity is a critical life‐history trait of organisms. Multiple abiotic and biotic factors are
thought to exert different selection pressures, resulting in a great variation in species …

Climate change is a grave danger for humans and a looming threat to Earth's biodiversity in
the twenty-first century. Assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change is critical for …

Skeletochronology is a reliable tool for assessing several parameters in amphibian
populations. We used skeletochronology to determine the age structure, growth rate, age at …

This study provides an illustrated account, a comprehensive update of the systematics, and
a bibliography of the 15 species of anurans in five families, eight genera; and of the six …

In this study, age estimation using skeletochronology was done in 43 specimens (6 males,
29 females, 8 juv.) of Anatololacerta anatolica living in the vicinity of Çanakkale. When the …

In many amphibians, skeletochronology is a reliable tool for assessing individual mean
longevity, growth rates and age at sexual maturity. We used this approach to determine the …

Simple Summary The main objective of this study was to provide the first information on the
age structure of the critically endangered and endemic frog species, Rana tavasensis, in …

Why do two sexes of the same species differ in body size holds a long-standing question of
evolutionary biology. While many across-species comparisons have focused on ultimate …

Amphibians are in decline in many parts of the world. Understanding the population
dynamics of amphibian species is an important prerequisite for developing effective …
