Underwater Hunting in an Arboreal Snake: Predation Notes on Amazonian Frog Larvae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We report novel underwater hunting behaviour in a canopy‐dwelling species of snake, the Common Green Racer (Chlorosoma viridissimum). The snake is seen diving and foraging in phytotelmata (water‐filled tree holes), feeding on tadpoles of treefrogs (Trachycephalus resinifictrix, T. hadroceps, and Osteocephalus oophagus). These findings contribute to our

Ecological and Historical Correlates of Taxonomic, Phylogenetic, and Functional Diversity of Amphibians in South American Rainforests and Savannas

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study identifies the key drivers of anuran amphibian diversity (taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic) across South America's Cerrado, Amazonia, and Atlantic Rainforest. Although taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity consistently increased with long‐term climatic stability in all regions, functional diversity was primarily influenced by current ...

The hyolaryngeal apparatus of three species of Scinax (Scinaxinae: Hylidae: Anura) and comparison with other Hylidae species

Acta Zoologica, 2017
The larynx is an important morphological structure for sound production in frogs. Recently, high levels of variation in calls and their relation to the morphology of frogs in the family Hylidae, in addition to molecular data, have resulted in significant changes in the taxonomy of this family.

Anuran Assemblage Structure in the Serra Da Capivara National Park, Piauí State, North‐Eastern Brazil

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological communities consist of species that coexist and interact with each other and the environment over the same spatial and temporal scales. How species use the available resources can shape community structure, particularly in mechanisms that favour species coexistence, such as niche partitioning. This study investigated the spatial and

The Role of Environmental Factors on Visual Communication in Neotropical Anurans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Visual signals are a widespread behavioural attribute of communication among vertebrates, often employed during intrasexual competition or mate attraction, ultimately influencing reproductive success. However, the environmental factors driving visual signal evolution remain poorly understood.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...
