Evolutionary history of the Asian Horned Frogs (Megophryinae): integrative approaches to timetree dating in the absence of a fossil record
Molecular dating studies typically need fossils to calibrate the analyses. Unfortunately, the
fossil record is extremely poor or presently nonexistent for many species groups, rendering …

Does life history shape sexual size dimorphism in anurans? A comparative analysis
X Han, J Fu - BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013 - Springer
