A phylogeny of the species-rich clade of the Neotropical frog genus Leptodactylus sensu
stricto is presented on the basis of a total evidence analysis of molecular (mitochondrial and …

Individual-level diet variation can be easily quantified by gut-content analysis. However,
because gut contents are a 'snapshot'of individuals' feeding habits, such cross-sectional …

The second largest biome in Brazil, the Cerrado has been transformed into a highly
mechanized and intensive agricultural area, with little public opposition. The native …

Morphologically cryptic species act as a wild card when it comes to biodiversity assessments
and conservation, with the capacity to dramatically alter our understanding of the biological …

O “Guia de Identificação das Espécies de Anfíbios (Anura e Gymnophiona) do Estado de
Goiás e do Distrito Federal, Brasil Central” é um trabalho que busca promover a …

Species of the genus Pleurodema are relatively small, plump frogs that mostly occur in
strong‐seasonal and dry environments. The genus currently comprises 14 species …

Despite major progress in deciphering the amphibian tree of life by molecular phylogenetics,
we identified two questions remaining to be answered regarding relationships within …

Overall morphological similarity and intrapopulation variation of morphological features
make species identification in cryptic species complexes challenging. In such cases …

Age and sex-based as well as individual-level diet variation are known to occur in many
natural populations, and may have important ecological and evolutionary implications. In the …
