In the last hours of 2024, we take a look at our year!
We thank all our authors, editors, and reviewers for their excellent work, and look forward to the fun and challenges that await us in 2025!
Biodiversity Data Journal had a great 2023! Here are some highlights as we prepare for another busy year.
This study used radio telemetry to assess for the first time the movements of Allopaa hazarensis and Nanorana vicina and proposed a movement paradigm that focuses on conservation implications for these endemic frogs: https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.10.e84365
The Murree Hills Frog and Hazara Torrent Frog are found at high altitude forested montane freshwater streams in the Himalayan region. Based on recent radiotelemetry data, these frogs show high level of site fidelity and minimum movement out of their habitat (streams) into the upland habitat (forest).
Last month, we presented to you Nico Fassbender of Nekton Mission and his team's field identification guide to the Seychelles reef benthos. This time around, you get to see him talk about his work in this video abstract!
