The social behaviour of anuran amphibians
TLDR
Temporal patterns of anuran reproduction fall into two broad categories: prolonged breeding and explosive breeding, and many aspects of vocal behaviour and chorus organization can be viewed as consequences of intrasexual competition.About:

Amphibian Declines: Judging Stability, Persistence, and Susceptibility of Populations to Local and Global Extinctions
TL;DR: It is suggested that many amphibian populations may be unable to recolonize areas after local extinction, due to the physiological constraints, relatively low mobility, and site fidelity of amphibians.

Metapopulation Dynamics and Amphibian Conservation
David M. Marsh,Peter C. Trenham +1 more
TL;DR: Future efforts need to determine the mechanisms underlying patterns of abundance and distributional change and patterns in amphibian pop- ulations, and effective conservation strategies must successfully balance metapopulation with careful attention to local habitat quality.

Lonely hearts or sex in the city? Density-dependent effects in mating systems
Hanna Kokko,Daniel J. Rankin +1 more
TL;DR: Considering density-dependent selection may be essential for understanding how populations can persist at all despite sexual conflict, but simple models seem to fail to predict the diversity of observed responses in nature.

Sex and evolution.
TL;DR: The relationship between various types of reproduction and the evolutionary process is explored, including the evolutionary development of diverse forms of sexuality, such as anisogamy, hermaphroditism, and the evolution of differences between males and females in reproductive strategy.
