Cophyline narrow-mouthed frogs (Anura: Microhylidae) are a diverse endemic radiation of Madagascar. Cophylines contain a high proportion of range restricted species and constitute a good model system to understand patterns of evolutionary diversifica...

Disentangling composite colour patterns in a poison frog species (2008)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Lötters, S., Mora-Ferrer, C., & Veith, M. (2008). Disentangling composite colour patterns in a poison frog species. Biological journal of the Linnean Society, 93(3), 433-444. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2007.00906.x

A phylogenetic approach was performed to infer whether variation in conspicuous colour-patterns of a poison frog (Dendrobatidae: Dendrobates tinctorius) has evolved neutrally or under selection. Colour and pattern were split into components that were... Read More about Disentangling composite colour patterns in a poison frog species.

Pretty in pink: a new treefrog species of the genus Boophis from north-eastern Madagascar (2008)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Andreone, F., Glaw, F., & Vences, M. (2008). Pretty in pink: a new treefrog species of the genus Boophis from north-eastern Madagascar. Zootaxa, 1684(1), 58-68. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.1684.1.3

Treefrogs of the genus Boophis comprise the most species-rich genus among all Malagasy frogs. In this paper we describe a new species to be added to this genus from Masoala Peninsula and nearby areas. Related populations have been found in three loca...

Molecular phylogeny and geographic variation of Malagasy iguanas (Oplurus and Chalarodon) (2008)
Journal Article
Münchenberg, T., Wollenberg, K. C., Glaw, F., & Vences, M. (2008). Molecular phylogeny and geographic variation of Malagasy iguanas (Oplurus and Chalarodon). Amphibia-Reptilia, 29(3), 319-327. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853808785112101

The iguanid subfamily Oplurinae consists of seven species of small to medium-sized, arboreal, sand-dwelling or rock-dwelling lizards endemic to Madagascar and the Comoros, belonging to the genera Oplurus and Chalarodon. We here present the first comp... Read More about Molecular phylogeny and geographic variation of Malagasy iguanas (Oplurus and Chalarodon).
