Males of Hylodes perere emit territorial calls ranging from simple to complex combinations of peep (A) and squeal (B) notes, often accompanied by visual signals. Because note A resembles advertisement call notes whereas note B resembles fighting calls, variations in territorial calls may represent a behavioral continuum conveying different levels of ...

ABSTRACT Aim We evaluated how native vegetation cover influences the diversity of arachnid assemblages across multiple spatial scales in major Brazilian ecosystems. Location Brazil (Amazon and Atlantic rainforests, Cerrado savanna and Caatinga dry forest). Taxon Arachnida (Opiliones, Pseudoscorpiones and Scorpiones). Methods We sampled arachnids at 120

In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

La distribución de la an biofauna santafesina (ranas, sapos, escuerzos y cecilias) sigue un patrón latitudinal, con una disminución de la riqueza de especies hacia el sur y una penetración de muchos taxones por medio del corredor biológico que representa el río Paraná y sus humedales (Ghirardi y López, 2017).

Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Survival and Behavior of Amphibians in a Seasonally Flooded Tropical Forest
How do tropical amphibians survive seasonal flooding? A three‐year capture–mark–recapture study in Costa Rica revealed species‐specific responses to flood events, with flooding reducing apparent survival in some species while others persisted through behavioral adaptations and use of arboreal refugia.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...
