Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raffael Ernst"
- Raffael Ernst's recent research primarily focuses on the diversity, biogeography, and evolutionary processes of amphibians, with particular attention on the roles of microbiomes and reproductive traits in species adaptation and diversification.
- His studies include an analysis of host-associated microbiomes in alien amphibians, revealing the ecological implications of such communities in invasive species, along with investigations of reproductive evolution and ecological divergence in unique frog lineages across different geographic regions.
- Ernst has contributed significant insights into the evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships within various amphibian genera, such as Pipa and Dendropsophus, providing a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between environmental factors, hybridization, and diversification in amphibians.
