Quantifying exposure of amphibian species to heat waves, cold spells, and droughts
Abstract Globally, amphibians face severe threats, such as climate change and associated extreme events. Our goal was to quantify global amphibian exposure to 3 classes of extreme events: heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. We used the MERRA‐2 extreme climate events data and the standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index database to ...

The tadpole of Physalaemus fernandezae (Anura: Leptodactylidae) [PDF]
This paper describes the external and buccopharyngeal morphology, chondrocranium and cranial muscles in tadpoles of Physalaemus fernandezae. The data are compared with those for other species of Physalaemus to improve the diagnosis of the “species group”

ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest domain is a biodiversity hotspot with remarkable amphibian diversity, including over 700 species, 70% of which are endemic. Most of these endemic species have restricted geographic ranges, often confined to mountainous areas, as exemplified by the leptodactylid genus Crossodactylodes.

Mother Chemical Stimulus and Aggregation Behaviour of Tadpoles in a Neotropical Foam‐Nesting Frog
The tadpoles of the neotropical foam‐nesting frog, Leptodactylus macrosternum, are escorted by an attending female. We found that tadpoles only increased the time of aggregation in the presence of the chemical stimuli of the attending females. Tadpoles of other species from the L. latrans group, such as L. insularum and L. luctator, may present similar
