Palearctic water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an outstanding model in ecology and
evolution, being widespread, speciose, either threatened or threatening to other species …

The radiation of Palearctic green toads (Bufotes) holds great potential to evaluate the role of
hybridization in phylogeography at multiple stages along the speciation continuum. With …

Under the oxidative roasting process, pyrite, as a major mineral in sulfidic mine tailings, can
transform to iron oxides. Generated iron oxides, if exhibiting enough magnetic properties …

One of the most frequently translocated species outside their native range in Europe are
water frogs of the genus Pelophylax. Recently, water frogs belonging to the same genus …

Spreading of alien water frog species (genus Pelophylax) has been reported across Europe,
posing a severe risk for the replacement or genetic swamping of indigenous species. Crna …

Studying the distribution of morphologically cryptic animal species is always a very difficult
task. Because most marsh frog species (the Pelophylax ridibundus complex) are cryptic, we …

Amphibians of North Africa is a comprehensive compilation of available data on the
amphibians and reptiles found in various ecosystems across North West Africa and parts of …

Understanding species from an ecological and phylogenetic perspective facilitates an
understanding of their conservation status in relation to the changing world. The frog genus …

The Eurasian water frog species and their geographic ranges have undergone considerable
changes in the last four decades, but the Iranian populations have largely remained …

Genomic tools like RAD-sequencing can provide the resolution to understand the complex
genetic patterns underlying cryptic biological invasions. Here we use this method to clarify …
