In frogs, the loss of the free‐living tadpole stage implies deep transformations in morphology
and development, and the result is a combination of traits exclusive to direct development …

Herein we present a survey on the variation in the morphology of the structures that
compose the larval buccopharyngeal cavity of Thoropa miliaris tadpoles based on samples …

We review the taxonomy of two historically problematic taxa of Neotropical frogs belonging
to the Physalaemus cuvieri group: P. albonotatus and P. cuqui. A thorough revision of …

Horned Frogs of the family Ceratophryidae are conspicuous anurans represented by three
endemic South American genera. Most ceratophryids inhabit semiarid environments, but …

Selection of breeding habitats represents one of the most effective ways in which anurans
can offer advantages for offspring survival. In arid environments tadpoles developing in …

The genus Pleurodema comprises 15 species distributed through the Neotropical region,
from sea level up to 5000 masl A total‐evidence analysis of Pleurodema is provided based …

Anurans have served as models in evolutionary studies on reproduction and development.
Several generalizations have emerged but it is unclear whether they represent the diversity …

The highly differentiated anuran larvae make them an interesting and complementary
source of information to understand anuran evolution. Among neotropical foam‐nesting …

The Patagonian rainforest has environmental conditions that may have been appropriate for
the evolution of different reproductive strategies in anurans. Despite its low species richness …

We studied the relationship between shape, size, and developmental time in the embryonic
ontogeny of 15 species of the frog genus Physalaemus. As in other anuran exotrophic …
