Abstract Systematic assessments of species extinction risk at regular intervals are necessary for informing conservation action 1,2 . Ongoing developments in taxonomy, threatening processes and research further underscore the need reassessment 3,4 Here we report findings second Global Amphibian Assessment, evaluating 8,011 International Union Conservation Nature Red List Threatened Species. We find that amphibians most threatened vertebrate class (40.7% globally threatened). The updated...

This study seeks to clarify the taxonomic identity of three adult frogs and two tadpoles from Rara Lake situated in National Park, Mugu district, Western Nepal, using both phenotypic mitochondrial sequence data (16S rRNA gene). Based on molecular data, we determined our specimens belonged species; Paa cf. ercepeae (Dubois, 1974) rarica Matsui, Ohler, 2001), this assignment is also supported by morphology. Principal component analysis clustered species into large-bodied (SVL > 55 mm)...
