Mitochondrial Phylogenomics and Genome Evolution in Anura: Insights From Structure and Gene Order Rearrangements. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) as Overlooked Predators of Anurans in the Neotropics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reports novel field observations of harvestmen (Opiliones: Cranaidae) preying on live frogs across multiple Neotropical localities, documenting active capture and consumption of anurans by these arachnids. Our findings expand the known trophic role of harvestmen as opportunistic vertebrate predators and highlight the need to consider ...

Characterization of Two Mitogenomes of Hyla sanchiangensis (Anura: Hylidae), with Phylogenetic Relationships and Selection Pressure Analyses of Hylidae. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2023
Hyla sanchiangensis (Anura: Hylidae) is endemic to China and is distributed across Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces. The mitogenomes of H. sanchiangensis from two different sites (Jinxiu, Guangxi, and Wencheng, Zhejiang) were sequenced.

Ontogenetic polychromatism in marsupial frogs (Anura: Hylidae) Ontogenetic polychromatism in marsupial frogs (Anura: Hylidae)

Caldasia, 1986
Color polymorphism is common in many species of marsupial frogs.  Extreme cases of pattern polymorphism are documented in four species. In Amphignathodon guentheri, Castrotheca aureomaculata, G. qriswoldi, and G.

Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Adults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

The phylogeny of Dendropsophini (Anura: Hylidae: Hylinae)

Cladistics, 2020
AbstractThe relationships of the hyline tribe Dendropsophini remain poorly studied, with most published analyses dealing with few of the species groups ofDendropsophus. In order to test the monophyly of Dendropsophini, its genera, and the species groups currently recognized inDendropsophus, we performed a total evidence phylogenetic analysis.

The Skull of Phyllomedusa sauvagii (Anura, Hylidae) [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2016
ABSTRACTThe hylid genus Phyllomedusa comprises charismatic frogs commonly known as monkey, leaf or green frogs, and is the most diverse genus of the subfamily Phyllomedusinae, including about 31 species. Although there is some information about the anatomy of these frogs, little is known about the osteology.
