Species composition and similarities among anuran assemblages of forest sites in southeastern Brazil Composição de espécies e similaridades entre taxocenoses de anuros de áreas florestais do sudeste do Brasil

Scientia Agricola, 2007
Neotropical forests show high anuran species richness, but some Brazilian forest formations, like cerradão, semideciduous forests and restingas, remain poorly known.

Extreme-sized anurans are more prone to climate-driven extinctions

, 2023
Understanding species responses to climatic change over extended timescales helps elucidate past and future extinction events. Amphibians are one of the most environmentally sensitive groups and yet showed high resilience to the Cretaceous-Paleogene (KPg)

Can predators stabilize host–parasite interactions? Changes in aquatic predator identity alter amphibian responses and parasite abundance across life stages

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The role of parasites can change depending on the food web community. Predators, for instance, can amplify or dilute parasite effects on their hosts.

An Introduction to the Biogeography of South American Anurans

, 2019
South America has undergone complex environmental and geological events that ultimately made it the most climatically and biodiverse continent on the planet, including anuran amphibians.
