We sampled litter frogs in an 1800‐ha mid‐elevation seasonal forest in southeastern Brazil.
One hundred 8* 8‐m plots were sampled during the dry/cold season and wet/warm season …

Most studies of amphibian communities are restricted to aquatic environments, which
precludes sound descriptions of changes in composition throughout entire habitats …

Many species of tropical amphibians are restricted to very small ranges, and this
microendemism coupled with ongoing habitat loss and susceptibility to emerging pathogens …

Abstract: Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates in the world and this is
also true for those inhabiting the Atlantic Forest hotspot, living in ecosystems that are highly …

Abstract The Atlantic Rainforest originally covered much of the Brazilian coast and is now
reduced to approximately only 7% of its original area. Data on abundance distribution and …

Mountains of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest can act as islands of cold and wet climate, leading
to the isolation and speciation of species with low dispersal capacity, such as the toadlet …

Aim Patterns of diversity along elevational gradients are driven by species characteristics
but remain poorly understood. Filling this gap is imperative given the deteriorating …

Estimates of forest leaf litter frog density, mass, richness and diversity given by the widely
used 8 m× 8 m large plot method (LPM) were compared with estimates obtained by a newly …

We studied the leaf-litter frog community of the Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu (REGUA), in
Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil, and present data on species composition and frog …

We studied the herpetofaunal community from the Atlantic forest of Morro São João, in Rio
de Janeiro State, Brazil, and present data on species composition, richness, relative …
