Very few studies have investigated the occurrence of multiple paternity and sperm
competition in amphibians. We studied genetic relatedness within kin groups of tadpoles of�…

DNA fingerprinting of tadpoles from two different 'one female‐two male'matings of the red‐
eyed treefrog, Agalychnis callidryas, revealed multiple paternity of offspring. Offspring were�…

The frequency of multiple paternity in 21 moor frog (Rana arvalis) egg clutches from one
Swedish breeding locality was investigated using nine microsatellite loci. By genotyping on�…

Polyandry and sperm competition in anurans have rarely been documented. We
investigated the genetic paternity inferred from allozyme variations in 650 tadpoles from four�…

Multiple paternity has rarely been reported in anuran amphibians, with only three previous
documented examples. For the Australian frogCrinia georgiana, we observed synchronous�…

Several recent studies have demonstrated the occurrence of multiple paternity in anuran
amphibians, implying that it is more common than previously thought. However, an adaptive�…

Sex‐biased dispersal is an important but unexplored area of amphibian ecology. We
predicted female‐biased dispersal in the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) based on aspects of�…

Abundant natural interspecies hybrids between the European water frog Rana ridibunda
and at least three other taxa reproduce hemiclonally, by hybridogenesis: the non‐ridibunda�…

Males can enhance their reproductive success through mating with multiple females. For
females, however, one mating is usually sufficient to inseminate all of their ova. Females�…

Resource availability influences sexual selection within populations and determines
whether behaviours such as territoriality or resource sharing are adaptive. In Thoropa�…
