Open AccessOpen areas associated with traditional agriculture promote functional connectivity among amphibian demes in Mediterranean agrosystems
Functional connectivity across fragmented habitat patches is essential for the conservation of animal populations in humanized landscapes. Given their low dispersal capacity, amphibians in the Mediterranean re...

Open AccessFine-scale functional connectivity of two syntopic pond-breeding amphibians with contrasting life-history traits: an integrative assessment of direct and indirect estimates of dispersal
Assessing patterns of functional connectivity among amphibian demes is crucial to unravel their population dynamics and prevent their isolation and eventual extinction. Integrative studies based on direct (cap...

Open AccessThe role of habitat features in patterns of population connectivity of two Mediterranean amphibians in arid landscapes of central Iberia
Mediterranean wetland ecosystems are in continuous decline due to human pressure. Amphibians are key elements of biotic communities of Mediterranean temporary ponds and streams, and their persistence depends o...

Open AccessIntegrating dispersal, breeding and abundance data with graph theory for the characterization and management of functional connectivity in amphibian pondscapes
Robust assessment of functional connectivity in amphibian population networks is essential to address their global decline. The potential of graph theory to characterize connectivity among amphibian population...

Reconciling direct and indirect estimates of functional connectivity in a Mediterranean pond-breeding amphibian
Understanding demographic dynamics and functional connectivity among demes is essential to prevent, identify and reverse amphibian population declines. Attempts to characterize connectivity among amphibian pop...

Open AccessA rapid rate of sex-chromosome turnover and non-random transitions in true frogs
The canonical model of sex-chromosome evolution predicts that, as recombination is suppressed along sex chromosomes, gametologs will progressively differentiate, eventually becoming heteromorphic. However, the...

Spatial scales for the management of amphibian populations
Conservation programs must be based on a detailed knowledge of the distribution of communities and populations, but this changes with the spatial scale of observation. In this context, we examined the multisca...
