Microplastics disrupt adaptive predator-induced behavioural plasticity in Rana dalmatina tadpoles

This study shows that microplastic exposure in Rana dalmatina tadpoles disrupts predator-induced risk-taking behavior without affecting other antipredator responses.

Photo-based individual identification is more reliable than visible implant elastomer tags or toe tipping in young agile frogs

This study compares photo-based identification with visible implant elastomer tags and toe clipping in young agile frogs, finding photo-based methods significantly more reliable.

Put the frog in water: simple methods for improving individual identification as demonstrated with the agile frog

This paper develops photography methods to improve individual identification of agile frogs using natural environments and body posture, achieving high accuracy with HotSpotter software.

Do pyrethroid insecticides influence sex ratios in agile frogs (Rana dalmatina)?

This study examines the effects of pyrethroid insecticides on sex ratios in agile frogs, finding male-biased phenotypic sex ratios due to female-biased mortality, not sex reversal.

Infection with the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) may distort sex ratio via sex reversal but not sex-dependent mortality in a common Eurasian amphibian

This study investigates whether chytrid fungus infection causes sex ratio distortion in common toads through sex reversal rather than sex-dependent mortality.
