TL;DR: A new taxonomy of living amphibians is proposed to correct the deficiencies of the old one, based on the largest phylogenetic analysis of living Amphibia so far accomplished, and many subsidiary taxa are demonstrated to be nonmonophyletic.

Journal ArticleDOI
Freshwater paths across the ocean : molecular phylogeny of the frog Ptychadena newtoni gives insights into amphibian colonization of oceanic islands
TL;DR: A synergy of rafting, favourable surface currents and a reduction in salinity of surface waters could allow freshwater paths to open far enough to enable continental flora and fauna to reach these and other isolated oceanic islands.
