Assessing the breeding phenology of a threatened frog species using eDNA and automatic acoustic monitoring by Ying Chen, Orianne Tournayre, Haolun Tian, Stephen C. Lougheed

“…However, monitoring the phenology of amphibians can be challenging because of their cryptic nature over much of their life cycle. Moreover, most salamanders and caecilians do not produce conspicuous breeding calls like frogs and toads do, presenting additional monitoring challenges. …”

Fine-scale habitat suitability and connectivity analysis for the core populations of Yellow-spotted mountain pond-breeding newt (Neurergus derjugini) in the west of Iran and east o... by Peyman Karami, Sajad Tavakoli, Mina Esmaeili

“…Continuity in the structure of the physical landscape is crucial to the connectivity of core populations. Salamanders are irregularly distributed and dispersed.Thus, proper distribution of adjacent core populations in valleys and streams could be regarded as a successful step in the establishment of population connectivity. …”
