A third species of glassfrog in the genus Chimerella (Anura, Centrolenidae) from central Peru, discovered by an integrative taxonomic approach [PDF]
We studied the taxonomic status of glassfrogs collected in Departamento Huánuco, central Peru, which in the field were tentatively allocated to Chimerella, one of the twelve genera currently recognized in the family Centrolenidae.

Climate and mating systems as drivers of global diversity of parental care in frogs
Abstract Aim Amphibians exhibit unusually diverse reproductive modes, including a wide array of parental care strategies. The evolutionary drivers of this diversity, however, remain unclear. Here, we investigate three major factors that might predict interspecific variation in parental care strategies: climate, intrasexual selection and social ...

Allometric escape from acoustic constraints is rare for frog calls
Allometric constraints in frogs are highly conserved and have rarely promoted allometric escape despite frequent invasions of new adaptive regimes of sound frequency and dramatic ecomorphological divergence in body size and calling site. In this study, we highlight instances in which natural and sexual selection combined could overcome physical ...
