DNA barcode reveals candidate species of Scinax and Ololygon (Anura: Hylidae) in Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022 Molecular species delimitation methods are efficient tools to identify species, including the discovery of new taxa and cryptic organisms, thus being useful to biodiversity studies.

Using molecular taxonomy to identify Scinax (Anura: Hylidae): New distribution records and implications for Neotropical biodiversity [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyTraditional morphological identification is challenging in large and diverse groups, such as the genus Scinax, which comprises about 78 species, and molecular taxonomy emerges as an efficient tool for species delimitation.

New insights into a poorly known parasite, Dero lutzi (Oligochaeta: Naididae), associated with tree frogs of the genus Scinax: morphological evaluation and genotypic data [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaThe oligochaete Dero lutzi follows a life strategy that alternates between free-living periods in aquatic environments and endoparasitic phases. Most occurrences of D. lutzi in anurans are reported in species with arboreal habits, with studies limited to

A new snouted treefrog (Anura, Hylidae, Scinax) from fluvial islands of the Juruena River, southern Brazilian Amazonia. [PDF]
PLoS OneSouthern Amazonia is one of the less-explored regions by anuran taxonomists. We describe a small new species of snouted treefrog, genus Scinax, from this region, from a fluvial archipelago in the Juruena River, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Rising from the ashes: A new treefrog (Anura, Hylidae, Scinax) from a wildfire-threatened area in the Amazon lowlands of central Peru [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2023 We describe a new species of tree frog from the middle Ucayali River, Peru. Scinax pyroinguinis sp. nov. is known from two males found in a patch of Amazon rainforest at 160 masl.

Wind farm noise negatively impacts the calling behavior of three frogs in Caatinga dry forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAcoustic signals play a fundamental role in the lives of anurans. With the increasing prevalence of wind farms in Caatinga ecosystems, our goal was to assess whether the noise generated by this energy source poses a threat to anuran communication.

Interactions between endoparasites and anurans in the Nhecolândia Pantanal, Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaWe analyzed the distribution of endoparasites in five species of Hylidae frogs during their reproductive period, aiming to understand how the host's habitat influences the parasites.
