Phylogeography of Rhinella spinulosa (Anura: Bufonidae) in northern Chile [PDF]

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2010
AbstractThe southern part of the Altiplano of the Andes Range is characterized by a complex hydrography, due to an intense geologic activity and the effects of the Pleistocene glaciations. This has produced a high degree of diversity at the species level in some aquatic taxa (e.g., fish and amphibians), which suggests that these same processes have ...

Study on Life History Strategies of Anurans in Tropical Rainforest: Lifespan and Age at Sexual Maturity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of lifespan and age at sexual maturity in seven common anuran species from Hainan Island's tropical rainforest, filling a critical gap in tropical amphibian ecology. The results reveal significant interspecific variation in lifespan (5 ~ 9 years) and maturity age (3 ~ 5 years), indicating a “slow ...

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
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 ...

Beyond Habitat: How Anuran Skin Texture Shapes Plant Dispersal in Neotropical Wetlands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process structuring wetland plant communities, yet epizoochory by amphibians remains a little‐known mechanism of passive plant dispersal. This study evaluated the potential role of Neotropical anurans as vectors of plant propagules through external adhesion in coastal wetlands.

The advertisement call of the toad Rhinella humboldti (Bufonidae)

Zootaxa, 2013
Despite important advances in understanding phylogenetic relationships among anurans (Frost et al. 2006; Pyron & Wiens, 2011), many uncertainties persist regarding phylogenetic affinities and taxonomic limits. The male advertisement call offers numerous opportunities to find diagnostic characters and is therefore useful for anuran species ...
