Spatial Ecology of an Arboreal Iguana (Oplurus cyclurus) in a Treeless Landscape
1. Introduction With the herpetofauna of Madagascar facing rapid ongoing habitat loss, the description of new reptile species is often a compulsory action so that species-based conservation measures can promptly be enacted. In particular, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species requires species to be named to propose conservation categories and apply safeguard measures [1,2,3].
Ongoing declines for the world’s amphibians in the face of emerging threats - Nature

Abstract Systematic assessments of species extinction risk at regular intervals are necessary for informing conservation action1,2. Ongoing developments in taxonomy, threatening processes and research further underscore the need for reassessment3,4. Here we report the findings of the second Global Amphibian Assessment, evaluating 8,011 species for the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.

Malagasy Amphibian Wildlife Trade Revisited: Improving Management Knowledge of the Trade
Abstract : Simple Summary There is much debate about the wildlife trade, with arguments made both for and against the trade. If wildlife trade is to continue, both knowledge of species and their population statuses and confidence within the global mechanism that monitors and manages the wildlife trade are required. Using Madagascar’s amphibian trade, this study investigates this issue.
Life History Traits and Longevity of the Invasive Asian Common Toad Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Schneider, 1799) in Madagascar
Abstract : Simple Summary The Asian common toad Duttaphrynus melanostictus represents a serious threat to the biodiversity of Madagascar, where it was introduced in around 2010. Here, we study some traits of its life history, including its body size, age structure, and age at sexual maturity based on individuals sampled at different sites of Toamasina, on the east coast of Madagascar, in 2016, 2018, and 2019.
Widespread presence of the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in wild amphibian communities in Madagascar
In this study, we document the presence of the amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in wild populations of amphibians in Madagascar. Previously published surveys (2005–2010) across the country13, 14, 15, 16, 32, in addition to data presented here, show the lack of Bd detection prior to 2010.
