The poorly-known, insular endemic frog species, Minervarya nicobariensis (Stoliczka, 1870) is re-described based on new material from the Nicobar Archipelago. A neotype is designated as its holotype had been lost. Novel data on biology, ecology, distribution and natural history of this poorly known species are provided. Breeding biology and larval morphology are described in detail. Potential threats to the species are discussed and an assessment of its conservation status is attempted.

Introgression is a pervasive biological process, and many statistical methods have been developed to infer its presence from genomic data. However, many of the consequences and genomic signatures of introgression remain unexplored from a methodological standpoint. Here, we develop a model for the timing and direction of introgression based on the multispecies network coalescent, and from it suggest new approaches for testing introgression hypotheses. We suggest two new statistics, D1 and D2, which can be used in conjunction with other information to test hypotheses relating to the timing and direction of introgression, respectively. D1 may find use in evaluating cases of homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS), while D2 provides a four-taxon test for polarizing introgression. Although analytical expectations for our statistics require a number of assumptions to be met, we show how simulations can be used to test hypotheses about introgression when these assumptions are violated. We apply the D1 statistic to genomic data from the wild yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus—a proposed example of HHS—demonstrating its use as a test of this model. These methods provide new and powerful ways to address questions relating to the timing and direction of introgression.

A new insular, endemic species of microhylid frog of the genus Kalophrynus is described from Tioman Island, off the southeastern coast of Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. Kalophrynus tiomanensis sp nov. can be differentiated from its congeners by the following combination of characters: SVL 21.4–26.3 mm; reduced webbing on toes; outer metatarsal tubercle absent; large, black inguinal spot and unique markings on dorsum. This discovery increases the number of endemic species of amphibians on Tioman Island to at least three.
