We genotyped 1056 individuals of two anuran and three urodele species (1732–3913 SNPs per species) from populations located in a landscape comprising 64 ponds to characterize fine-scale genetic structure in a comparative framework, and combined these genetic data with information obtained in a previous 2-year capture–mark–recapture (CMR) study.

Critically analyzing PIT tagging methods as well as testing their use in different species is essential to ensure the validity of future research studies and conservation strategies in urodeles. Leer más.
A recent molecular phylogeny of the agamid genus Pseudotrapelus, distributed in the rocky areas of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, revealed the presence of a genetically distinct lineage around the city of Riyadh in central Saudi Arabia. Leer más.
Our study emphasizes the importance of analyzing roadkill variables on a species-specific basis. In the case of endangered species with low roadkill rates, it is essential to consider their assessment alongside other species exhibiting similar behavior and ecological needs. Leer más.
In this study, we analyzed one mitochondrial marker (COI) as well as genome-wide data (ddRAD sequencing) from 28 and 41 samples, respectively, covering the entire distribution range of the genus to explore the population genomics, phylogenomic relationships and introgression patterns within the genus Cerastes. Additionally, and to provide insights into the mode of diversification of the group, we carried out niche overlap analyses considering climatic and habitat variables. Leer más.
