Global effects of land use on local terrestrial biodiversity
Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global
biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a …

Phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison frogs and their relatives (Amphibia: Athesphatanura: Dendrobatidae)
The known diversity of dart-poison frog species has grown from 70 in the 1960s to 247 at
present, with no sign that the discovery of new species will wane in the foreseeable future …

Underestimation of species richness in Neotropical frogs revealed by mtDNA analyses
Background Amphibians are rapidly vanishing. At the same time, it is most likely that the
number of amphibian species is highly underestimated. Recent DNA barcoding work has …
