The nuptial pad is a secondary sexual character found in anuran amphibians. It includes
modified epidermal and dermal tissues and is usually located on the first digit of the hand of …

Sexually dimorphic (SD) traits are important in sexual selection and species survival, yet the
molecular basis remains elusive, especially in amphibians where SD traits have evolved …

A phylogenetic hypothesis for the frogs of the genus Telmatobius that includes a
comprehensive sample of the morphological and geographical variation is lacking …

Ecnomiohyla tuberculosa is an Amazonian hylid of uncertain phylogenetic position. Herein
DNA sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear genes are used to determine its phylogenetic …

Two new species of Myersiohyla are described from the 1984–1985 Cerro de la Neblina
Expedition in southern Venezuela, together with notes on the genus and a test of its …

We describe a new species of the Scinax catharinae Group from Municipality of Porto
Seguro, State of Bahia northeastern Brazil. The new species is mainly characterized by its …

We present a new phylogenetic hypothesis for Ischnocnema, a Neotropical brachycephaloid
genus of ground-dwelling direct-developing frogs. We performed Bayesian inference …

Reproductive strategies are one of the more fascinating aspects of Anuran biology and are
likely affected by species habitat use and availability of reproductive sites. The Cerrado …

Hyloscirtus larinopygion is rediagnosed, and a new species formerly confused with that
species is described from the highlands of the Central Cordillera in the Andes Mountains of …

Ancestral character-state reconstruction is a powerful method in phylogenetics that can be
applied to elucidate the evolutionary history of secondary sexual characters. Here, we …
