Influence of environmental factors and body condition on the post-oviposition behavior in the emerald glass frog Espadarana prosoblepon (Centrolenidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 In species with parental care behaviors, parents may adjust the intensity and duration of their care if fluctuation in factors such as environmental variables or body condition affects offspring survival.

Imperfect transparency and camouflage in glass frogs [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Camouflage patterns prevent detection and/or recognition by matching the background, disrupting edges, or mimicking particular background features. In variable habitats, however, a single pattern cannot match all available sites all of the time, and efficacy may therefore be reduced.

Bioacoustics characterization and habitat use of glass frogs in El Salvador
Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2022 Introduction: Glass frogs occur from Mexico to South America, and, their taxonomy and distribution are currently debated. In El Salvador, the only species is thought to be Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni, but it may instead be Hyalinobatrachium ...

Characterisation of nine new polymorphic microsatellite loci in the reticulated glass frog <i>Hyalinobatrachium valerioi</i> (Centrolenidae). [PDF]
Amphib Reptil, 2014 Here we document the development of thirteen novel microsatellite markers for the reticulated glass frog Hyalinobatrachium valerioi (Centrolenidae). Nine of those markers were polymorphic and contained between 4 and 34 alleles per locus (mean = 20.3) in 138 individuals (91 males, 47 females ...

High Contrast Markings Can Negate the Benefits of Transparent Camouflage [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTransparency is, in theory, the ultimate form of concealment allowing for perfect background matching camouflage regardless of the environment. In nature, despite some remarkable examples of highly transparent organisms, physiological constraints mean ...

Egg Clutch Survival under Prolonged Paternal Care in a Glass Frog, Hyalinobatrachium talamancae
Copeia, 2020 Previous studies have reported egg attendance as the most common protective behavior among the Neotropical frog family Centrolenidae. However, research on the effect of parental care and other factors thought to affect offspring survival is still missing for a great number of species.

Low reproductive skew despite high male-biased operational sex ratio in a glass frog with paternal care. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2015 AbstractBackgroundReproductive skew, the uneven distribution of reproductive success among individuals, is a common feature of many animal populations. Several scenarios have been proposed to favour either high or low levels of reproductive skew. Particularly a male-biased operational sex ratio and the asynchronous arrival of females is expected to ...

Evaluation of various membranes for blood-feeding in nine sand fly species and artificial feeding challenges in Sergentomyia minuta [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground We evaluated various membranes for blood-feeding in nine sand fly species from different genera and subgenera. Most of these species are vectors of human-pathogenic Leishmania, whereas Sergentomyia minuta is a herpetophilic sand fly species ...
