Small body size increases the regional differentiation of populations of tropical mantellid frogs (A nura: M antellidae) (2012)
Journal Article
Pabijan, M., Wollenberg, K., & Vences, M. (2012). Small body size increases the regional differentiation of populations of tropical mantellid frogs (A nura: M antellidae). Journal of evolutionary biology, 25(11), 2310-2324. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2012.02613

The processes affecting species diversification may also exert an influence on patterns of genetic variability within species. We evaluated the contributions of five variables potentially influencing clade diversification (body size, reproductive mod...

Revision of the little brown frogs in the Gephyromantis decaryi complex with description of a new species (2012)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Glaw, F., & Vences, M. (2012). Revision of the little brown frogs in the Gephyromantis decaryi complex with description of a new species. Zootaxa, 3421(1), 32-60. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3421.1.2

We revise the systematics of a group of little brown leaf litter frogs from Madagascar that are notoriously difficult to diagnose, the Gephyromantis decaryi complex. Using an integrative combination of molecular data, bioacoustics, and morphology, we...

Not all little brown frogs are the same: A new species of secretive and cryptic Gephyromantis (Anura: Mantellidae) from Madagascar (2012)
Journal Article
Vieites, D. R., Wollenberg, K. C., & Vences, M. (2012). Not all little brown frogs are the same: A new species of secretive and cryptic Gephyromantis (Anura: Mantellidae) from Madagascar. Zootaxa, 3344(1), 34-46. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3344.1.2

We describe a new species of small diurnal frog of the genus Gephyromantis from Mahasoa, a fragment of mid-altitude rainforest in the northern central east of Madagascar, located to the north east of Lake Alaotra. Analysis of DNA sequences of the mit... Read More about Not all little brown frogs are the same: A new species of secretive and cryptic Gephyromantis (Anura: Mantellidae) from Madagascar.

Volatile amphibian pheromones: Macrolides from mantellid frogs from madagascar (2012)
Journal Article
Poth, D., Wollenberg, K. C., Vences, M., & Schulz, S. (2012). Volatile amphibian pheromones: Macrolides from mantellid frogs from madagascar. Angewandte Chemie, 51(9), 2187-2190. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201106592

Amphibians like water, but do they also notice volatile compounds in the air? Yes, they do. Macrolides, such as phoracantholide-J (see picture; upper right structure) or the newly discovered natural product gephyromantolide-A (left structure), are us...
