The Lao newt (Laotriton laoensis) is a recently described species currently known only from northern Laos. Little is known about the species, but it is threatened as a result of overharvesting. We…
The salamandrid genus Tylototriton is poorly known in Laos, with one described species and unverified reports of two others. We undertook new fieldwork and obtained samples of Tylototriton at six…
We revise the frogs of the genus Phrynoglossus from Indochina based on data of external morphology, bioacoustics, and molecular genetics. The results of this integrative study provide evidence for…
The results of herpetological surveys conducted throughout Laos in 2016–2019 resulted in significant records at the country and provincial levels for several amphibian and reptile species, other than…
