In order to cope with the complexity and variability of the terrestrial environment, amphibians have developed a wide range of reproductive and parental behaviors. Nest building occurs in some anuran species as parental care. Species of the Music frog genus Nidirana are known for their unique courtship behavior and mud nesting in several congeners....

The Torrent frogs of the genus Amolops are widely distributed in Nepal and northern India eastwards to southern China and southwards to Malaysia. The genus currently contains 84 species. Previous studies indicated underestimated species diversity in the genus. In the context, a new species occurring from the mountains in the northwestern Guizhou Pr...

A new species of the genus Tylototriton sensu lato from Tongzi County, Guizhou Province, China was described. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial 16S and ND2 gene sequences indicated the new species as the most closely related species of T. dabienicus in Henan. The new species could be identified from its congeners by a combinati...

... Amolops Cope, 1865 is a genus with a rapid increase in the number of species recently, making it the most speciose genus within the family Ranidae and having a wide distribution range from southern and eastern Himalayas to the Peninsular Malaysia (Dever et al. 2012;Pham et al. 2019;Wu et al. 2020;Mahony et al. 2022;Tang et al. 2023;Frost 2024;Li et al. 2024). Currently, 85 species are included in the genus (Frost 2024) and 52 have been recorded in China (AmphibiaChina 2024). ...
... The Wenxian Knobby Salamander (Tylototriton wenxianensis), a member of the Salamandridae family, is found across several regions in China, including the Gansu province, the Sichuan province, the Chongqing municipality, and the Guizhou province [11,33]. Despite its broad distribution, genetic analyses have revealed significant divergence among populations from different geographic locations, indicating that this species is actually a complex of multiple distinct species [37,38]. Consequently, the conservation of each population is critical to maintaining the species' genetic diversity. ...
