VOCAL REPERTORY OF TWO SPECIES OF THE LEPTODACTYLUS PENTADACTYLUS GROUP (ANURA, LEPTODACTYLIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Among frogs, vocalizations play important roles in their social interactions. Herein we describefi ve new types of vocalizations for two foam-nesting species of the Leptodactylus pentadactylusgroup, L. syphax and L. labyrinthicus. Behavioral observations

Target Capture Sequencing Provides Insights Into Hybridogenetic Water Frogs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The genomics of European frogs of the genus Pelophylax are intriguing due to their propensity to hybridise, the prevalence of polyploidy, and the unusual hemiclonal hybridogenetic complexes formed in many populations. This study examines the use of target capture sequencing using the Frog Cap bait set to investigate these complex systems.

Inferences on Frog Responses to Forest Cover Depend on Sampling Method and Reproductive Mode

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sampling choices can bias assessments of biodiversity responses to habitat loss, compromising conservation strategies in vulnerable ecosystems such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the efficiency of three frog sampling methods (active search, plot sampling, and pitfall traps) across Atlantic Forest remnants to estimate species ...

The mitochondrial genomes of three species of poison frogs (Anura: Dendrobates)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
We reconstructed nearly complete mitogenomes for three species of poison frogs, Dendrobates auratus, D. leucomelas, and D. tinctorius, from RNAseq data. We recovered the 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes (except tRNA-Val for D.

Pseudopaludicola ternetzi (Anura: Leiuperidae): two lectotypes for the same taxon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Pseudopaludicola ternetzi was described on the basis of an undefined number of syntypes, but involving males and females (Miranda-Ribeiro 1937). Since Miranda-Ribeiro described this species, several taxonomic considerations were made on it.

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 199-220, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Field notes on findings of threatened amphibian species in the central mountain range of western Panama [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
During field work along a transect in the Cordillera Central of western Panama between 2008 and 2010, we detected several populations of amphibian species which are considered as “Endangered” or “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN.
