   New records and a notable observation of potentially predator-avoiding amplectic behaviour in Boophis erythrodactylus from Madagascar

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Herpetology • Authors: Robin Kurian Abraham --- Biodiversity Institute and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, United States Carl Richard Hutter --- Biodiversity Institute and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, United States

   The Red-fingered Bright-eyed Frog Boophis erythrodactylus is an endemic, range-restricted arboreal frog found only in the eastern rainforests of Madagascar. We report new localities for this species, along with locality records for its sister species B. tasymena, including localities where...

   Genetic diversity of the mantellid frog Blommersia blommersae, and description of a new anuran species from south-eastern Madagascar

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Treading a Delicate Tightrope: A principal balancing between education and political change during turbulent times • Authors: Miguel Vences --- , Germany Moritz Armerding --- , Germany Jörn Köhler --- , Germany Frank Glaw --- , Germany

   A range-wide assessment of genetic variation in one mitochondrial (16S rRNA) and one nuclear-encoded (Rag-1) gene fragment of the widespread Madagascar frog Blommersia blommersae revealed the presence of up to 12 deep genetic lineages. Many of these differed by genetic...
