These results suggest that speciation in midwife toads initially involve cryptic lineages, which probably evolve RI through intrinsic (genetic) hybrid incompatibilities. As they continue to diverge, these nascent species eventually differentiate externally, which potentially enforces pre-mating barriers and facilitates sympatry. Leer más.
We provide evidence that an FV3-like virus has been present in amphibians from the PNP since at least 2009. Further efforts should be taken to understand the impacts of FV3 on amphibians inhabiting the Pyrenees. Leer más.
The species seems to be extinct, or considered to be on the brink of extinction, in 60% of the sites monitored since the 2000s. The increase in wild boar abundance appears to be the main cause of this decline, which affects both protected and unprotected sites. Leer más.
