Cyanosis by methemoglobinemia in tadpoles of Cochranella granulosa (Anura: Centrolenidae)
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 Tadpoles inhabit generally well oxygenated rivers and streams, nevertheless they were found in areas with limited oxygen availability inside the rivers.

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

First records of the glass frogs Hyalinobatrachium cappellei (van Lidth de Jeude, 1904) and H. mondolfii Señaris & Ayarzagüena, 2001 (Anura, Centrolenidae) in the state of Amapá, Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2020 Glass frogs (Centrolenidae) are widely distributed in the Neotropics. This study presents novel data on two centrolenid species of the genus Hyalinobatrachium Ruiz-Carranza & Lynch, 1991 collected during herpetofaunal surveys carried out in ...

New localities, range extension, natural history, and conservation status of Nymphargus mixomaculatus (Guayasamin, Lehr, Rodriguez & Aguilar, 2006) [PDF]
Check List, 2021 We provide information on the distribution, natural history, and conservation status of Nymphargus mixomaculatus (Guayasamin, Lehr, Rodriguez & Aguilar, 2006), a species from central Peru which is currently considered as Critically Endangered. We

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.
