An experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for frog diversity in tropical landscapes. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We performed the first experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for biodiversity. Our results provide evidence that isolated trees contribute to increasing total species richness and community abundance of anurans in artificial ponds, making local communities more similar to those found in ponds near forest edges.

Leptodactylidae Werner 1896

, 2019
Family Leptodactylidae Werner, 1896 (1838) Remarks: This family has undergone a massive change of its member taxa since the widespread use of molecular data. Prior to 2004, the nomenclature was quite stable, but Darst and Cannatella (2004) demonstrated Leptodactylidae to be paraphyletic. After several revisions of the major clades of Amphibia (Frost et

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1550-1560, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Skin Resistance to Dehydration: A Theory‐Informed Trait Gradient in Anurans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Anurans' sensitivity to hydric stress has driven adaptive changes in multiple traits, potentially displaying geographical clines, as is the case with body size. A longstanding body of research suggests that skin resistance to water loss may also vary geographically in response to water loss.

Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...

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

Historical Climate and Biome Association Drove Phylogeographic Patterns in the Dwarf Swamp Frog (Anura: Leptodactylidae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 220-231, March 2026.
ABSTRACT South America, a region with high biodiversity, has been profoundly shaped by geological events during the Miocene and Pliocene, as well as by climatic changes in the Pleistocene, leading to complex phylogeographic patterns. The diverse biomes and the biotic exchanges between them, particularly between the Amazon and the Cerrado, have ...
