We present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the hylid tribe Hylini, with the goals of
testing the monophyly of the genera Duellmanohyla, Isthmohyla, and Ptychohyla and …

Amphibian populations are vanishing worldwide. Declines and extinctions of many
populations have been attributed to chytridiomycosis, a disease induced by the pathogenic …

We studied the larval morphology of the dendrobatid frog genus Silverstoneia and closely
related species of Colostethinae. After describing external, buccopharyngeal, larval muscle …

We describe the buccal cavity and chondrocranial morphology of Phasmahyla cruzi
tadpoles in comparison to P. guttata. We also provide a review of some characters for larval …

We describe air-breathing mechanics in gray tree frog tadpoles (Hyla versicolor). We found
that H. versicolor tadpoles breathe by 'bubble-sucking', a breathing mode typically employed …

Amphibians are the vertebrate group with the highest number of species threatened with
extinction, and habitat loss and fragmentation are considered to be among the leading …

The family Heleophrynidae is restricted to Southern Africa and comprises two genera with
seven species. Tadpoles are well adapted, with huge sucker mouths, to live in the fast …

More than a century ago, GA Boulenger described torrent-frogs from West Africa as
Petropedetes natator Boulenger, 1905. Very recently Barej et al.(2014a) discovered that …

Following calls that were heard from beneath piles of rocks at water springs, characteristic of
adult males of L. erythrogaster, we identified nine potential breeding sites along small …

One of the key questions in evolutionary developmental biology is to understand the
mechanisms that produced diverse reproductive strategies in amphibians, a clade of …
