Urban-Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...

Taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of Boulengerula denhardtiNieden, 1912 (Amphibia, Gymnophiona, Caeciliidae)

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2008
The Kenyan caeciliid caecilian Boulengerula denhardtiNieden 1912 was considered to be a junior synonym of Schistometopum (Dermophis) gregorii (Boulenger, 1894) by Loveridge (1936). This synonymy has been accepted, implicitly or explicitly, by all subsequent workers. Re-examination of the holotype and only known specimen of B. denhardti confirmed Nieden'

The systematics of Boulengerula fischeri (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) based on morphological and molecular data

Zootaxa, 2011
Eight new specimens are reported for the caecilian amphibian Boulengerula fischeri, a species known in detail previously only from its holotype collected in 1987. The new material was collected at the type locality in Rwanda in 2009, and is used to expand and refine the morphological characterization of the species.

Quantifying exposure of amphibian species to heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Globally, amphibians face severe threats, such as climate change and associated extreme events. Our goal was to quantify global amphibian exposure to 3 classes of extreme events: heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. We used the MERRA‐2 extreme climate events data and the standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index database to ...

Phylogenetic relationships of African Caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona): insights from mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences [PDF]

, 2003
Africa (excluding the Seychelles) has a diverse caecilian fauna, including the endemic family Scolecomorphidae and six endemic genera of the more cosmopolitan Caeciliidae.

The morphology of prehatching embryos ofCaecilia orientalis(Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae)

Journal of Morphology, 2009
AbstractThe state of development of advanced embryos of the direct‐developing Ecuadorian caecilianCaecilia orientalis(Caeciliidae: Gymnophiona: Amphibia) was examined. Because it is established that development is correlated with reproductive modes in a number of features, we included comparison with taxa that represent the major reproductive modes and
