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 ...

Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) as Overlooked Predators of Anurans in the Neotropics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study reports novel field observations of harvestmen (Opiliones: Cranaidae) preying on live frogs across multiple Neotropical localities, documenting active capture and consumption of anurans by these arachnids. Our findings expand the known trophic role of harvestmen as opportunistic vertebrate predators and highlight the need to consider ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Biological communities consist of species that coexist and interact with each other and the environment over the same spatial and temporal scales. How species use the available resources can shape community structure, particularly in mechanisms that favour species coexistence, such as niche partitioning. This study investigated the spatial and

On the identity of Bufo diptychus Cope, 1862 (Anura: Bufonidae) [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2018 The enigmatic toad Bufo diptychus was described by Cope (1862) based on a single individual (USNM 5841, now lost) of about 25 mm of SVL, collected during the expedition to La Plata River and tributaries, conducted by Captain Page between 1853 and 1856. As no dwarf species of toad was ever recorded in the surveyed area, and based on some tips that arise
