We present here the most up to date information on the distribution of green frogs (genus
Pelophylax) in their French Mediterranean range west of the Rhône river (departments of Pyrénées-
Orientales, Aude, Hérault, Gard). For the perezi-grafi (PG) system, we also report the record known for
the department of Ardèche in order to provide an exhaustiv...
Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the pace of biodiversity recovery remains contentious. Here, we use bioacoustics and metabarcoding to measure forest recovery post-agriculture in a global biodiversity hotspot in E...
The genus Molossops includes two monotypic species of insectivore bats distributed in South America: Molossops neglectus and Molossops temminckii. Both can be differentiated, based on sizes, M. temminckii being smaller (forearm less than 33 mm). Despite being monotypic, at least two additional subspecies have been described for M. temminckii, of wh...
Vocalization in birds serves an important role in territory establishment and mate attraction as well as maintaining conspecific interactions and providing signals pertaining to food or threat. In Malaysia, most raptor behavioral studies on vocalization have been carried out on nocturnal raptors. Such studies have often been limited by the difficul...
