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.

TL;DR: This work focuses on forests, which represent a majority of global biomass, productivity and biodiversity, and investigates the relationship between species richness and ecosystem function as measured by productivity or biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sri Lanka: An Amphibian Hot Spot
Madhava Meegaskumbura,Franky Bossuyt,Rohan Pethiyagoda,Kelum Manamendra-Arachchi,Mohammed Bahir,Michel C. Milinkovitch,Christopher J. Schneider +6 more
TL;DR: The discovery of an endemic radiation of >100 species of Old World tree frogs (Rhacophorinae) from South America is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tadpoles as dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) egg predators
Gayan Bowatte,Piyumali K. Perera,Gayani Senevirathne,Suyama Meegaskumbura,Madhava Meegaskumbura +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mosquitoes have a preference to lay eggs in tadpole water and that tadpoles destroy such eggs laid, and direct observations substantiate that all tadpole species tested are mosquito egg predators.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A widespread, opportunistic survey of over 3,000 amphibians for Bd throughout Asia and adjoining Papua New Guinea suggests that Bd is either newly emerging in Asia, endemic at low prevalence, or that some other ecological factor is preventing Bd from fully invading Asian amphibians.
