Neofoleyellides boerewors n. gen. n. sp. (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) parasitising common toads and mosquito vectors: morphology, life history, experimental transmission and host-vector interaction in situ
(Elsevier, 2020)Anuran filarial nematodes are restricted to two comparatively small subfamilies (Icosiellinae and Waltonellinae) of the filariae that currently comprise six genera and 41 recognised species. However, the life histories of ... -
A new species of Hyperolius Rapp, 1842 (Anura: Hyperoliidae) from the Serra da Chela mountains, south–western Angola
(Magnolia Press, 2012)A new species of African reed frog (genus Hyperolius Rapp, 1842) is described from a high altitude, forested gorge in the Serra da Chela mountain range near the village of Humpata, Lubango area, Huila Province, south-western ... -
Playing with food: detection of prey injury cues stimulates increased functional foraging traits in Xenopus laevis
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Animal behavioural traits determine trophic interaction strength, which in turn structures ecological communities. Behavioural responses to prey cues can inform upon how prey are perceived and detected and therefore determine ... -
Sky, sea, and forest islands: diversification in the African leaf‐folding frog Afrixalus paradorsalis (Anura: Hyperoliidae) of the Lower Guineo‐Congolian rain forest
(Wiley, 2018)Aim To investigate how putative barriers, forest refugia, and ecological gradients across the lower Guineo‐Congolian rain forest shape genetic and phenotypic divergence in the leaf‐folding frog Afrixalus paradorsalis, and ... -
Using predictive modelling to guide the conservation of a critically endangered coastal wetland amphibian
(ELSEVIER, 2013)Amphibians are the most threatened Class of vertebrate, with wetland-associated anurans in particularsuffering high levels of habitat loss. We used predictive modelling to better understand the distribution ofa critically ...
