The Importance of Environmental Heterogeneity in Evaluating the Conservation Status of Two Frog Species in a Changing Amazonian Interfluve

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 60-70, February 2026.
Identifying the most effective criterion to assess the conservation status of vulnerable species in threatened tropical regions is crucial to evaluate recovery plans. We investigated the influence of environmental heterogeneity on the extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupied habitat (AOH), and density variation of two Amazonian riparian frog ...

La Secreción Cutánea, Instrumento Sistemático La Secreción Cutánea, Instrumento Sistemático

open access: yesCaldasia, 1973
The Author points out information lacking in morphological Systematics for evolutionary studies of amphibian taxa, relieving physiological and biochemical analysis as valuable tools of philogenetic interrelationships study.

The Role of Environmental Factors on Visual Communication in Neotropical Anurans

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Visual signals are a widespread behavioural attribute of communication among vertebrates, often employed during intrasexual competition or mate attraction, ultimately influencing reproductive success. However, the environmental factors driving visual signal evolution remain poorly understood.

Monitoring the Prevalence and Distribution of Chytrid Fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) in the Kihansi Spray Toad (Nectophrynoides asperginis) Population in the Kihansi Gorge Spray Wetlands, Tanzania

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
How to manage the continued impact of Chytrid fungus on Kihansi Spray Toad population in the wild. ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is fatal to some amphibian species, whereas others can carry the pathogen without developing disease.

Adaptaçoes, especializaçoes e linhagens nos anuros neotropicais

open access: yesActa Zoológica Lilloana, 2022
La taxonomía actual de Amphibia Anura es conservadora y casi exclusivamente morfológica. Las familias reconocidas son pocas y se basan en un pequeño número de caracteres osteológicos.

Osornophryne, genero nuevo de anfibios bufonidos de Colombia y Ecuador Osornophryne, genero nuevo de anfibios bufonidos de Colombia y Ecuador

open access: yesCaldasia, 1976
A brief abridgement of the taxonomic history of the "Atelopodidae" is presented, and it is concluded that this group must be included in the Bufonidae, confirming the criteria of recent authors.

Evaluating the Use of Environmental DNA as a Method to Determine Occupancy and Distribution of Coeur d'Alene Salamanders in Montana

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

The Stream Tadpoles ofRhinella rumbolli(Anura: Bufonidae)

open access: yesHerpetologica, 2014
Abstract:  The Rhinella veraguensis group is likely a paraphyletic assemblage that contains 16 species of Andean toads. To date, descriptions are available for larval stages of only three species, all of which possess a distinct sucker in the abdominal region.
