Fossils reveal long-term continuous and parallel innovation in the sacro-caudo-pelvic complex of the highly aquatic pipid frogs [PDF]
Within the already peculiar Bauplan of anurans, pipid frogs have evolved an array of bizarre features that are commonly linked to their highly aquatic lifestyle. Among the latter, there are several distinctive sacro-caudo-pelvic features shared by extant

A large number of vertebrate fossils has been collected from the outcrops of the Early–Middle Miocene Santa Cruz Formation (SCF) along the Río Chalía in southern Patagonia, Argentina. The analysis of the anuran components reveals the coexistence of two Calyptocephalella species as the only frog inhabitants of the Santacrucian fauna, one of them ...

Divergence Time Estimation Using Fossils as Terminal Taxa and the Origins of Lissamphibia [PDF]
Were molecular data available for extinct taxa, questions regarding the origins of many groups could be settled in short order. As this is not the case, various strategies have been proposed to combine paleontological and neontological data sets. The use

Unexpected phylogenetic positions of the genera Rupirana and Crossodactylodes reveal insights into the biogeography and reproductive evolution of leptodactylid frogs [PDF]
Despite major progress in deciphering the amphibian tree of life by molecular phylogenetics, we identified two questions remaining to be answered regarding relationships within Hyloidea, the clade of South American origin that comprises most extant ...
