Article Synopsis
- The mantellid subgenus Phylacomantis, comprising four frog species in Madagascar, is analyzed using molecular techniques to confirm their genetic distinctness and relationships based on nuclear and mitochondrial gene data.
- The study reveals that G. pseudoasper shows low genetic variation across its range, while new specimens from the North East and North West have high genetic distances, suggesting they may belong to a new subspecies of G. corvus, named G. corvus bakilana ssp. nov.
- The findings highlight a rare biogeographic pattern of separated sister lineages in Madagascar, indicating an urgent need for further research in the understudied humid forest fragments in the region.

Article Synopsis
- Elevation gradients offer a unique opportunity to study how different environmental factors influence biodiversity, particularly in the case of anuran (frog) species in the southern Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
- The study found that frog species richness and abundance decreased with higher elevations, strongly correlating with ambient temperature, while productivity did not significantly affect these factors.
- The differences in anuran community compositions between low and high elevations highlight the need for protected areas that cover various elevation levels, especially due to the potential impacts of climate change on species distribution.

Sexual communication often takes place in networks with multiple competing signalers being simultaneously assessed by mate choosers. Altered sensory conditions, such as noise and light pollution, can affect communication by altering signal production and perception. While evidence of sensory pollution affecting sexual signaling is widespread, few studies assess impacts on sexual signaling during rival interactions as well as mate choice, let alone whether urban and non-urban populations have diverged in their response.

Thermoregulatory behaviour determines an organism's body temperature and therefore its physiological condition, and may differ for organisms situated across climate gradients. Species' preferred or selected temperatures may be higher in warmer locations-referred to as coadaptation-or lower in warmer temperatures-countergradient variation. Here, we tested if rainforest amphibians exhibited coadaptation or countergradient thermal selection across an underappreciated spatial climate gradient (vertical height from forest floor to canopy) and separating diel activity (diurnal versus nocturnal behaviour).
