The mechanisms of hybridization can be elucidated by analyzing genotypes as well as phenotypes that could act as premating barriers, as the reproductive interactions among …
Complex courtships have been described for neotropical frogs, but detailed quantifications of calls emitted during this behavior are still rare. Herein, we describe the courtship call of …
Espinhaço Range's frogs have attracted attention since the middle of the 20th century. Despite great efforts to understand the taxonomy, patterns of distribution and biology of the …
