TL;DR: A phylogenetic timetree based on a multigene data set of 3.75 kb for 171 species reveals several episodes of accelerated amphibian diversification, which do not fit models of gradual lineage accumulation.

TL;DR: Results show that B. salamandrivorans is restricted to, but highly pathogenic for, salamanders and newts (Urodela), and likely originated and remained in coexistence with a clade of salamander hosts for millions of years in Asia.

TL;DR: It is shown, using molecular phylogenies of two invertebrate and four vertebrate groups, that biotic interchange between these areas has been much more limited than hitherto assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
New frog family from India reveals an ancient biogeographical link with the Seychelles.
TL;DR: A burrowing frog from India that is noticeably distinct from known taxa in all anuran families is found and recognized as a new family because of its very distinct morphology and an inferred origin that is earlier than several neobatrachian families.
