Biodiversity analyses can greatly benefit from coherent species delimitation schemes and up-
to-date distribution data. In this article, we have made the daring attempt to delimit and map …

The genus-level recognition of monophyletic short-legged toads (Brachytarsophrys) has
been recently implicated in the taxonomic debate of Megophrys sensu lato. In the present …

Species delimitation is a first step for realizing the extent of biodiversity and is relevant for all
downstream applications in biology. The production of large genome-scale datasets for non …

The biological species concept (BSC) is the cornerstone of neo-Darwinian thinking. In BSC,
species do not exchange genes either during or after speciation. However, as gene flow …

The subfamily Megophryinae, as a representative batrachian group of the Oriental Realm
and one of the most diverse groups of amphibians, has attracted considerable attention due …

Endemics co‐occur because they evolved in situ and persist regionally or because they
evolved ex situ and later dispersed to shared habitats, generating evolutionary or ecological …

In widespread species, the diverse ecological conditions in which the populations occur,
and the presence of many potential geographical barriers through their range are expected …

Megophrys parva is currently considered to be among the most widely dispersed species
within the genus, however, recent studies have provided compelling evidence that this …

The diversity of Panophrys horned toads is considered highly underestimated with a large
number of undescribed cryptic species. In this work, we describe four Panophrys species …

Threatened species identified as priorities for ex situ conservation action are not necessarily
the best candidates for conservation breeding programmes (CBPs). To facilitate good …
