The selection of breeding habitat has broadscale implications for species distributions and
community structure and smaller-scale ramifications for offspring survival and parental …

We used species distribution modeling to investigate the potential effects of climate change
on 24 species of Neotropical anurans of the genus Melanophryniscus. These toads are …

Dispersal (ie movement from a natal or breeding site to another breeding site) is a central
process in ecology and evolution as it affects the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of spatially …

Most anurans possess a tympanic middle ear (TME) that transmits sound waves to the inner
ear; however, numerous species lack some or all TME components. To understand the …

Animals that reproduce in temporary aquatic systems expose their offspring to a heightened
risk of desiccation, as they must race to complete development and escape before water …

The Rhinellaágranulosa group consists of 13 species of toads distributed throughout open
areas of South America and Panama. In this paper we perform a phylogenetic analysis …

Species that occur in ephemeral habitats such as temporary waterbodies have evolved
specific strategies that allow them to respond to spatial and temporal variations in water …

Anuran amphibians' ability to maintain their activity at high temperatures or low humidity
depends on their capacity to face dehydration, especially when they display diurnal and …
