Scientists studied puddle frogs to identify genetic variation hotspots and places where the climate crisis could wipe out populations too homogenous to adapt Even widespread species could be ...

The climate crisis is changing habitats quickly, forcing animals to adapt to catch up. Populations of a species that have more genetic variation have lower genomic vulnerability: there’s a higher ...

Survey work discovers at least 50 amphibian species living on Mount Oku, a dormant volcano in Cameroon. Mount Oku’s puddle frogs are vanishing – and no one knows why. Some species may already be ...

A new species of puddle frog has been discovered by New York University Abu Dhabi (NYU) researchers at the unexplored and isolated Bibita Mountain in southwestern Ethiopia. The research team named the ...

A tiny frog may be the key to hundreds of species surviving climate change, suggests a new study. Puddle frogs show that protecting genetic variation is "essential" for animals to live through global ...

Pongola, South Africa – Bagging the “big five” at a game park in South Africa usually means seeing lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos and elephants. But for a different breed of animal lover, it’s ...
