What amphibians can teach us about the evolution of parental care
Parenting is considered a key evolutionary innovation that contributed to the diversification
and expansion of vertebrates. However, we know little about how such diversity evolved …

The evolution of reproductive modes and life cycles in amphibians
Amphibians have undergone important evolutionary transitions in reproductive modes and
life-cycles. We compare large-scale macroevolutionary patterns in these transitions across …

Phylogenetic analyses reveal unexpected patterns in the evolution of reproductive modes in frogs
Understanding phenotypic diversity requires not only identification of selective factors that
favor origins of derived states, but also factors that favor retention of primitive states. Anurans …
