Guild‐Specific Frog Responses to Natural Habitat Structure Gradients in an Atlantic Forest Mosaic

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study investigated how habitat structure gradients are associated with frog species richness and occupancy in a naturally heterogeneous Atlantic Forest mosaic. We found that frog richness and occupancy patterns varied among ecological guilds and were highest in sites associated with lower values of the habitat structure gradient, which also ...

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.

Amphibia, Anura, Scinax agilis (Cruz and Peixoto, 1983): filling gap and new state record [PDF]

Check List, 2012
We report the presence of Scinax agilis (Cruz and Peixoto, 1983) in the municipality of Areia Branca, state of Sergipe, northeastern Brazil for the first time. This record fills the species distributional gap between the states of Bahia and Alagoas.

Multispecies Genomics Uncovers a Common Legacy of Postglacial Isolation on a Neotropical Land‐Bridge Island

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate whether Pleistocene sea‐level changes can explain the timing and demographic processes of population divergence between continental and insular plant populations on a land‐bridge island. Location Alcatrazes Island and adjacent mainland areas along the southeastern coast of Brazil.

High Species Richness of Scinax Treefrogs (Hylidae) in a Threatened Amazonian Landscape Revealed by an Integrative Approach.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Rising habitat loss is one of the main drivers of the global amphibian decline. Nevertheless, knowledge of amphibian diversity needed for effective habitat protection is still highly inadequate in remote tropical regions, the greater part of the Amazonia.

Survival and Behavior of Amphibians in a Seasonally Flooded Tropical Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
How do tropical amphibians survive seasonal flooding? A three‐year capture–mark–recapture study in Costa Rica revealed species‐specific responses to flood events, with flooding reducing apparent survival in some species while others persisted through behavioral adaptations and use of arboreal refugia.

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.
