The identity of Proteus tritonius Laurenti, 1768: comments on a really doubtful case of literary interpretation
Proteus tritonius Laurenti, 1768 has long been regarded as the larva of Triton alpestris Laurenti, 1768. It is the type species of Ichthyosaura Sonnini & Latreille, 1801, the oldest available generic name for the Alpine newt, Triton being preoccupied by a senior homonym. Mutz and Böhme (2025)…

On the presence of the sessilid peritrich Apiosoma in the oro-pharynx of Lissotriton vulgaris (Urodela, Vertebrata)
We report on a population of smooth newts (Lissotriton vulgaris) from the vicinity of Jena (Germany), in which we detected the presence of sessile peritrich ciliates of the genus Apiosoma. The zooids of the ciliates were found in the oropharynx of the urodelans during their aquatic annual phase. We…

Herpetofaunal diversity of the disturbed and isolated Bukit Maras in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia
We present the first checklist of herpetofauna in Bukit Maras (Malaysia) based on surveys conducted from 2019 to 2023. Visual Encounter Surveys (VES) and drift-fenced pitfall traps were employed as collection methods. Our study documented a total of 55 herpetofauna species, comprising 23 amphibians…

Effects of reproductive condition on body mass and thermal ecology in the female Mesquite Lizard, Sceloporus grammicus, in a population from central Mexico
Reproductive condition influences ecophysiological traits in viviparous female lizards, which may have various effects on their fitness. In this study, the effects of reproductive condition on body mass and thermal ecology were evaluated in females from a central Mexico population of Sceloporus…

Frogs in sight and sound: passive acoustics and visual surveys reveal complementary species detection in tropical rainforest anurans
Amphibian surveys in remote tropical rainforests are often constrained by rugged terrain, dense vegetation, high logistical demands, and the invasive nature of observer-based methods. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) using autonomous recording units (ARUs) has emerged as a promising, non-invasive…

Consumption of the frog Hylarana nicobariensis Stoliczka, 1870 by a crab Parathelphusa pulcherrima (De Man, 1902), with a mini review of feeding on amphibians by crabs
We present a first record of feeding by the freshwater crab species, Parathelphusa pulcherrima on the frog species Hylarana nicobariensis (Ranidae) from Sabah (Borneo, Malaysia) together with a comprehensive review of crab predation on amphibians. A total of 32 crab species identifiable to 27…

Estimation of age structure and growth curve of Aquarana catesbeiana (Anura, Ranidae) in the Republic of Korea
The American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana) is widely recognized as an invasive species with various harmful ecological impacts. Comprehensive population-specific information is required to develop effective management strategies to mitigate these impacts. However, studies examining the age…

Habitat transformation reshapes diversity and community structure of amphibians and reptiles in the Eastern Andes
Land-use change is a major driver of biodiversity loss in tropical montane ecosystems, yet its effects on herpetofaunal community structure remain insufficiently understood at local scales. We evaluated patterns of diversity and community structure of amphibians and reptiles across a gradient of…

It's not all about size: sexual size dimorphism and caudal autotomy of Campbell's Alligator Lizard, Abronia campbelli Brodie & Savage, 1993
Sexual dimorphism and caudal autotomy are poorly documented in the lizard genus Abronia. We analyzed sexual size dimorphism and caudal autotomy in 54 adult Campbell’s Alligator Lizards (Abronia campbelli) from Jalapa, Guatemala. We measured snout–vent length (SVL), head width (HW), and body mass…

Projected contraction of climatically suitable habitat for the forest-specialist anuran Quasipaa acanthophora under climate change in northern Vietnam
Anthropogenic impacts, including habitat loss and overexploitation, in combination with climate change, have resulted in rapid population declines and even local extirpations in many amphibians. As an endemic amphibian species in northern Vietnam, Quasipaa acanthophora is endangered by combined…

A new species of the Ovophis tonkinensis species complex (Serpentes, Viperidae) from the Langbian Plateau, southern Vietnam
A new species of the genus Ovophis Burger in Hoge & Romano-Hoge, 1981, is described from the Langbian Plateau, southern Vietnam, based on an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological and molecular evidence. Ovophis langbianus sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by a unique…

A new species of Boulenophrys Fei, Ye & Jiang, 2016 (Anura, Megophryidae) from karst landscapes in northern Guangdong, China
Karst landscapes across southern China represent global hotspots for vertebrate diversity and endemism, yet amphibian diversity within such habitats remains insufficiently documented. Herein, we describe Boulenophrys calciphila sp. nov., a new species discovered from fragmented karst hills in…

Long-term variation in frequency of non-lethal shell injuries in a population of eastern Hermann’s tortoise, Testudo hermanni boettgeri
Variation in the frequency of non-lethal shell injuries was analyzed in an open population of the eastern Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) monitored in a complex habitat system between 2010 and 2024. Tortoises were surveyed twice per year, for six days in the last week of May and…

High-elevation females lay larger eggs in the Atlas Day Gecko, Quedenfeldtia trachyblepharus (Boettger, 1873)
Identifying how reproductive investment varies along elevational gradients is a powerful tool for understanding life-history evolution in ectotherms. In taxa with invariant clutch size, reproductive responses to harsh environments are expected to be determined by per-offspring investment (egg…

Microhabitat-scale thermal determinants of body temperature in Anatololacerta anatolica from Mount Spil, Western Anatolia
Lizards, as ectothermic organisms, are largely dependent on the thermal characteristics of their habitats for the maintenance of their biological processes. This research aims to quantitatively elucidate the correlation between the body temperature (Tb) of the Anatololacerta anatolica population on…

The influence of the pre- and post-natal environment on Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko, Squamata, Gekkonidae) development in captivity
In captivity, reptiles often experience unnatural incubation and rearing conditions due to limited nest site choices, which can negatively impact individual development and welfare. Incubation temperature and humidity are especially critical for reptile development, influencing factors such as sex…
