Range-wide validation of reduced locomotor endurance in unisexual Ambystoma salamanders

This study validates reduced locomotor endurance in unisexual Ambystoma salamanders through treadmill trials, showing sexual species outperform unisexuals regardless of subgenome composition.

Genome composition predicts physiological responses to temperature in polyploid salamanders

The paper examines how genomic composition in polyploid salamanders predicts physiological responses to temperature, finding a trade-off between water loss resistance and metabolic rate in hybrids.

Characterizing population structure and documenting rapid loss of genetic diversity in Chiricahua Leopard Frogs (Lithobates chiricahuensis) with high throughput microsatellite genotyping

This study uses microsatellite markers to analyze genetic diversity in Chiricahua Leopard Frogs, revealing genetic bottlenecks and rapid diversity loss in managed populations.

The Amphibian Genomics Consortium: advancing genomic and genetic resources for amphibian research and conservation

The paper introduces the Amphibian Genomics Consortium to address gaps in amphibian genomic resources and promote international collaboration for research and conservation.

Conserved chromatin and repetitive patterns reveal slow genome evolution in frogs

The paper presents high-quality genomes and chromatin structure analyses of frogs, revealing conserved ancestral chromosomes and stable genome evolution.

The African Bullfrog (Pyxicephalus adspersus) genome unites the two ancestral ingredients for making vertebrate sex chromosomes

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the African Bullfrog, revealing ancestral synteny among vertebrate sex chromosomes and showing the repeated use of two genomic blocks in sex chromosome evolution.
