Understanding the origins of diversity and the factors that drive some clades to be more
diverse than others are important issues in evolutionary biology. Sophisticated SSE (state …

Aim To date a vicariant event through the mutualistic relationship of a hylid frog and its
bromeliad host found across two isolated mountain ranges as part of an island–continental …

Anurans have the greatest diversity of reproductive modes among tetrapod vertebrates, with
at least 41 being currently recognized. We describe a new reproductive mode for anurans …

Aim Global warming and deforestation are pushing species closer to their physiological limit,

New Guinea has the most diverse insular frog fauna in the world, and rates of species
discovery and description have increased rapidly in the last two decades. Pelodryadid …

The genus Pristimantis diversified in the tropical Andes mountains and is the most speciose
genus of terrestrial vertebrates. Pristimantis are notable among frogs in that they thrive at …

A long-standing hypothesis in evolutionary biology is that the evolution of resource
specialization can lead to an evolutionary dead end, where specialists have low …

Considerable attention has been directed to studying the infection dynamics of the fungal
pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) affecting amphibians in the high elevations …
