Suction Feeding in Dendropsophus cerradensis Tadpoles: New Behavioral Observations and Morphological Traits in a Member of the D. microcephalus Group (Anura, Hylidae). [PDF]

J Morphol
The tadpole of Dendropsophus cerradensis exhibits an oral tube completely covered by external folds. The feeding behavior is characterized by an oral tube that protrudes exclusively during predation. This macrophagy feeding is associated with a buccopharyngeal cavity reduced in features, robust mandibular and hyoid musculature, as well as a modified ...

Assessing Connectivity Thresholds Under Habitat Loss Scenarios for Threatened Amphibians and Squamate Reptiles in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We assessed which habitat extinction threshold in a landscape is a good predictor of functional connectivity for 14 species of terrestrial herpetofauna in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. We concluded that forest species should maintain a threshold of approximately 30% of habitat to avoid a significant abrupt decline in overall connectivity.

An experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for frog diversity in tropical landscapes. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We performed the first experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for biodiversity. Our results provide evidence that isolated trees contribute to increasing total species richness and community abundance of anurans in artificial ponds, making local communities more similar to those found in ponds near forest edges.

Anura, Hylidae, Dendropsophus nahdereri (Lutz and Bokermann, 1963): distribution extension and new state record [PDF]

Check List, 2010
Dendropsophus nahdereri is included in the Dendropsophus marmoratus group. Its distribution is known from the Brazilian states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. Here we report new records of this species and briefly describe the habitat of calling males.

Hatching Plasticity in Captive-Bred Pickersgill's Reed Frog, Hyperolius pickersgilli (Raw 1982). [PDF]

Zoo Biol
Husbandry methods should avoid disturbing Pickersgill's reed frog, Hyperolius pickersgilli (Raw, 1982) clutches to increase survival of the tadpoles. ABSTRACT The Pickersgill's reed frog, Hyperolius pickersgilli (Raw 1982), is an Endangered frog species endemic to a narrow central coastal region of KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa.

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host-Specificity and Threats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Systematics of the Dendropsophus leucophyllatus species complex (Anura: Hylidae): Cryptic diversity and the description of two new species.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Genetic data in studies of systematics of Amazonian amphibians frequently reveal that purportedly widespread single species in reality comprise species complexes.

Temporal Dynamics of Species Richness and Composition in a Peri-Urban Tropical Frog Community in Central Brazil. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study address how species coexistence and species–environment relationship are impacted by temporal variation in climate sub‐urban area. ABSTRACT Analyzing the temporal dynamics of ecological communities can shed light on coexistence mechanisms and help understand how populations and communities will behave in the face of climate change.
