Simultaneous Detection of Missing Amphibians and Their Fungal Pathogen in a Biodiversity Hotspot Using eDNA

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 19, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Since the 1970s, striking amphibian declines in population abundances and presumed extinctions have been recorded globally. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is one of the key drivers of these declines. To investigate the potential role of Bd in the decline of Brazil's amphibians, we first used eDNA metabarcoding to survey

Urban developmental environments alter tadpole phenotypes depending on origin

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1707-1719, September 2025.
Urbanisation has rapidly altered the ecological and evolutionary contexts for many species. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment with frog larvae, we find that urban environments can alter morphological, developmental and behavioural traits at both ecological and evolutionary scales.

Hide and Seek: Species Detectability in a Biodiversity Hotspot Increased by Environmental DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
We demonstrated through Bayesian modeling that eDNA metabarcoding offers equivalent or higher detectability than traditional field inventory techniques for anuran species in a biodiversity hotspot. The number of recorded species was also higher in seven out of ten sampled streams.

Reproductive biology of Pleurodema guayapae (Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae).

open access: yesRevista de biologia tropical, 2014
Pleurodema guayapae is a species that inhabits saline environments and semidesert zones from central Argentina. To date, the knowledge about the reproductive biology of this species is very poor, and our aim is to contribute to its knowledge with the description of some important reproductive aspects. For this, field work was undertaken in an area near

Leptodactylidae Werner 1896

open access: yes, 2015
FAMILY LEPTODACTYLIDAE Werner 1896, 357 (2 subfamilies, 2 genera, 5 species, 1 endemic species) SUBFAMILY LEIUPERINAE Bonaparte 1850, 3 (1 genus, 1 species). The 1850 Bonaparte publication used the spelling Leiuperina, but a similarly titled paper (Bonaparte 1852, 478) used the spelling Leinperina for a group of “Engystomidae.” Pyron & Wiens (2011) is ...
