TL;DR: This analysis has identified priority sites for reptile conservation and completes the conservation assessment of terrestrial vertebrates in Madagascar which will facilitate conservation planning, monitoring and wise-decision making.

TL;DR: The biodiversity of Ambolokopatrika is comparable to those of other analysed sites, and this stresses the value of this forest in assuring biotic exchange between Anjanaharibe-Sud and Marojejy reserves.

TL;DR: The acontinuous timing of reproduction and large egg number may be secondary adaptations that allowed the species to colonize arid regions of western Madagascar.

TL;DR: Most of the major intraspecific lineages of reed frogs show signs of a rather recent population expansion, indicating that the influence of rivers on the primary divergence of phylogroups is probably minor in these frogs.

TL;DR: The survey provided new records of Aglyptodactylus securifer and Heterixalus luteostriatus, further north than hitherto known, and encountered specimens of the treefrog Boophis albi‐labris displayed characters typical for the subspecies occidentalis, resulting in a substantial range extension.
