Anurans of the Reserva Biológica do Parazinho, Municipality of Macapá, state of Amapá, eastern Amazon [PDF]
Check List, 2014 We report a list of anurans from the Reserva Biológica do Parazinho (00°52′30″ N, 49°59′15″ W), a strictly protected area, part of the Bailique archipelago, in the municipality of Macapá, state of Amapá, Brazil.

, 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

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Beyond Habitat: How Anuran Skin Texture Shapes Plant Dispersal in Neotropical Wetlands
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process structuring wetland plant communities, yet epizoochory by amphibians remains a little‐known mechanism of passive plant dispersal. This study evaluated the potential role of Neotropical anurans as vectors of plant propagules through external adhesion in coastal wetlands.

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 ...

Primer registro de miasis (diptera: sarcophagidae) en anuros de leptodactylidae (amphibia)
Revista Colombiana de Ciencia Animal Recia, 2015 Esta nota es el primer registro de ocurrencia de miasis generada por moscas Sarcophagidae en anuro de la familia Leptodactylidae. El anfibio, identificado como Leptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815), fue recolectado en el bioma Mata Atlântica, en el sur ...

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
