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...

A NEW SPECIES OF GLASS FROG (ANURA: CENTROLENIDAE) FROM THE VENEZUELAN GUAYANA

Herpetologica, 2003
A new species of Centrolene is named from the La Escalera Region in Estado Bo- livar, Venezuela. The three species known from the Guianan Region of northeastern South America represent a single clade characterized by a white bib-like parietal peritoneum; this clade is referred to as the Centrolene gorzulai species group.

Comparative larval buccopharyngeal morphology of two glass frog species (Anura: Centrolenidae: Vitreorana)

Zoologischer Anzeiger, 2020
Abstract Centrolenidae is a monophyletic group of Neotropical tree frogs. Centrolenid tadpoles usually lack pigmentation on their bodies, presenting reddish coloration in life, and are fossorial. Several phenotypic characters have been associated with fossoriality, but data on larval morphology is scarce.

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 ...

A NEW SPECIES OF GLASS FROG (CENTROLENIDAE: COCHRANELLA OCELLATA GROUP) FROM CENTRAL PERU

Herpetologica, 2006
We describe a new species of Cochranella from the Cordillera de Carpish, Departamento Huanuco, Peru. The new species is placed in the Cochranella ocellata group and can be distinguished from all other species of Cochranella by having: (1) small white and dark purple spots on the dorsum; (2) a snout slightly protruding to truncate in lateral aspect; (3)

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

Glassy Fathers Do Matter: Egg Attendance Enhances Embryonic Survivorship in the Glass Frog Hyalinobatrachium valerioi

Journal of Herpetology, 2009
Males of the glass frog Hyalinobatrachium valerioi engage in diurnal and nocturnal attendance of egg clutches. To study the effect of parental care on embryonic survivorship, we conducted a male removal experiment and measured embryonic survival rates on day 4, 8, and 12 after oviposition in attended and unattended clutches.

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 ...
