By combining 7077 SNPs and 61 microsatellites, we present the first linkage map for some of
the early diverged lineages of the common frog, Rana temporaria, and the densest linkage …

Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Bd), has been unambiguously implicated in the decline of amphibian populations …

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) code for immune proteins that are crucial
for pathogen recognition in vertebrates. MHC research in nonmodel taxa has long been …

The subfamily Polycerinae includes four genera with around 46 species described to date.
This subfamily is characterized by a limaciform body, which may have simple tentacular …

The Anthropocene has witnessed catastrophic amphibian declines across the globe. A multitude
of new, primarily human‐induced drivers of decline may lead to extinction, but can also …

Driven by co‐evolution with pathogens, host immunity continuously adapts to optimize defence
against pathogens within a given environment. Recent advances in genetics, genomics …

Genomic heterogeneity of divergence between hybridizing species may reflect heterogeneity
of introgression, but also processes unrelated to hybridization. Heterogeneous …

Many species are currently adapting to cities at different latitudes. Adaptation to urbanization
may require eco‐evolutionary changes in response to temperature and invasive species …

Background Understanding and predicting how organisms respond to human-caused
environmental changes has become a major concern in conservation biology. Here, we linked …

Farmland ecosystem services frequently result from different ecological functions simultaneous
provided by specific biodiversity groups such as birds. These bundles of ecosystem …
