The morphology of dermal chromatophores in the infrared‐reflecting glass‐frog Centrolenella fleischmanni

Journal of Morphology, 1980
AbstractThe morphology and organization of chromatophores in the neotropical glass‐frog, Centrolenella fleischmanni (family Centrolenidae), were studied with both light and electron microscopes. Four types of pigment cells are described in the dorsal skin.

Reproductive behaviour of the glass frogHyalinobatrachium cappellei(Anura: Centrolenidae) in the Southern Amazon

Journal of Natural History, 2018
Frog species of the Centrolenidae family exhibit a high variation in reproductive behaviours. Herein we describe the reproductive, ecological, acoustic and behavioural features of Hyalinobatrachium...

Bolivian glass frogs (Anura: Centrolenidae) with a description of a new species from Amazonia

Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 2005
ABSTRACT We describe a new species of Cochranella from the Serrania de Huanchaca, Bolivia. The new species possesses a suite of unusual characteristics, most notably dermal glands along its fingers and toes. Cochranella spiculata is reported from Bolivia and we describe the females of that species. New material of C. bejaranoi from Chuquisaca collected

Life on a Leaf: Hatching Plasticity in Embryos of the Tobago Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium orientale tobagoense)

South American Journal of Herpetology, 2019
Embryonic development is often a dangerous period of the life cycle for many organisms and embryos are often viewed as helpless. Parental care can help reduce mortality in early life stages but embryonic behavior itself can also be important. To assess the ability of frog embryos to actively hatch in response to environmental cues, we conducted an ...

Community assembly of glass frogs (Centrolenidae) in a Neotropical wet forest: a test of the river zonation hypothesis

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2018
Abstract:The river zonation hypothesis predicts that abiotic and biotic conditions along riparian gradients drive variation in animal communities. Glass frogs are a diverse group of Neotropical anurans that use riparian habitats exclusively for oviposition and larval development, but little is known about how glass frog communities are distributed ...

Reproductive ecology of the glass frogEspadarana prosoblepon(Anura: Centrolenidae) in an urban forest of the Central Andes of Colombia

Journal of Natural History, 2017
Population and reproductive behaviour aspects of the glass frog Espadarana prosoblepon are well known for populations from Central America, but similar information is lacking for populations from S...

Effects of Density on Spatial Aggregation and Habitat Associations of the Glass FrogEspadarana (Centrolene) prosoblepon

Journal of Herpetology, 2015
Abstract Social behaviors often are context dependent; behaviors at high density may change or disappear at lower population densities. We analyzed spatial dispersion patterns and habitat associations at high and low population densities of male Espadarana (Centrolene) prosoblepon that declined following the invasion of a pathogenic fungus ...

A Remarkable New Glass Frog (Centrolenidae:Vitreorana) from the Northeast Atlantic Forest, Brazil

Herpetologica, 2014
Abstract:  We describe a new species of glass frog (Vitreorana) from Fazenda Novo Pau Brasil, in the Atlantic Forest habitat of northeastern Brazil. Previous to this work, Vitreorana baliomma sp. nov. was misidentified as V. eurygnatha, from which it can be distinguished by the iris pattern flecked with star-shape melanophores; rudimentary nuptial ...

The genetic mating system in the glass frog Hyalinobatrachium valerioi (Centrolenidae), a species with male parental care

2014
Hyalinobatrachium valerioi ist eine Froschart, die in den Neotropen beheimatet ist. Beobachten kann man sie fast ausschließlich während der Regenzeit entlang von Bächen, wenn Männchen auf Blättern der Ufervegetation rufen um Weibchen anzulocken. Wenn sie dabei erfolgreich waren, werden im Mittel 29 Eier auf die Unterseite eines Blattes abgelegt.
