Observations on metamorphosing tadpoles of Hyalinobatrachium orientale (Anura: Centrolenidae)
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2020 Observations on metamorphosing tadpoles of Hyalinobatrachium orientale (Anura: Centrolenidae). Metamorphosis, when anuran amphibians resorb their tails and remodel their mouthparts and internal organs, is a vulnerable stage in the frog’s life history. As

Diversity and function of the fused anuran radioulna. [PDF]
J Anat, 2022 Using finite element analysis, we find that the semi‐fused state of the frog forelimb bone experiences less von Mises stress than hypothetical fully fused or split conditions across multiple loading scenarios. The results support the idea that the semi‐fused state is an adaptation for saltation in frogs, and may be maintained by other forces such as ...

Simultaneous Detection of Missing Amphibians and Their Fungal Pathogen in a Biodiversity Hotspot Using eDNA. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Since the 1970s, striking amphibian declines in population abundances and presumed extinctions have been recorded globally. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is one of the key drivers of these declines. To investigate the potential role of Bd in the decline of Brazil's amphibians, we first used eDNA metabarcoding to survey

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 12, Page 1609-1622, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Determining drivers of beta diversity is a hugely complex task, as it involves processes acting synergistically across multiple scales. We employed a large‐scale standardized protocol to tease apart the environmental and spatial processes driving beta diversity patterns of pond‐living tadpoles across multiple scales.

How plants affect amphibian populations
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 1749-1767, October 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Descriptions of amphibian habitat, both aquatic and terrestrial, often include plants as characteristics but seldom is it understood whether and how those plants affect amphibian ecology. Understanding how plants affect amphibian populations is needed to develop strategies to combat declines of some amphibian populations.

Advertisement call and new distribution records from Brazil of Teratohyla midas (Lynch & Duellman, 1973) (Anura, Centrolenidae) [PDF]
Check List, 2018 Data on the distribution and calls of glassfrogs are important for taxonomic and conservation purposes. Herein, we describe the acoustic parameters of Teratohyla midas (Anura, Centrolenidae), with notes on distribution in the Brazilian states of Acre ...

An unexpected record of Teratohyla midas (Lynch and Duellman, 1973) for Brazil reveals the presence of glassfrogs in the Brazilian northern lowlands (Anura: Centrolenidae) [PDF]
Check List, 2013 We reported a new record of Teratohyla midas for Northeast Brazil and extending its distribution in 1,200km east from the nearest reported area. Additionally we constructed a distribution map based on literature records.

Riparian buffers provide refugia during secondary forest succession
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 2008-2019, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Secondary forests regenerating from human disturbance are increasingly becoming a predominant forest type in many regions, and they play a significant role in forest community dynamics. Understanding the factors that underlie the variation in species responses during secondary succession is important for understanding community assembly ...

, 2022 Family Centrolenidae Taylor, 1951 Vitreorana ritae (Lutz, 1952) is currently a senior synonym of V. oyampiensis (Lescure, 1975) (Cisneros- Heredita 2013). Despite some authors state that this synonymy remains dubious due to the lack of acoustic and molecular data from the type locality (headwaters of the Caiwama River, Amazonas, Colombia) (Fouquet et ...

Elevational and local climate variability predicts thermal breadth of mountain tropical tadpoles
Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 The climate variability hypothesis posits that increased environmental thermal variation should select for thermal generalists, while stable environments should favor thermal specialists. This hypothesis has been tested on large spatial scales, such as latitude and elevation, but less so on smaller scales reflective of the experienced microclimate ...
