Aim The diversity of reproductive modes among amphibians constitutes a striking example
of how differences in the biology of species provide important explanations for species …

Due to their highly permeable skin and ectothermy, terrestrial amphibians are challenged by
compromises between water balance and body temperature regulation. The way in which …

Anurans are a highly diverse group in the Atlantic Forest hotspot (AF), yet distribution
patterns and species richness gradients are not randomly distributed throughout the biome …

We all met each other sharing the personal interest of studying anuran communities from
Southeastern Brazil, specifically, anurans from the northwestern region of the São Paulo …

We hypothesized that the environmental heterogeneity of breeding ponds influences the
species composition and species richness of anuran assemblages from southeastern Brazil …

Because anuran species are highly dependent on environmental variables, we
hypothesized that anuran species richness and the number of reproductive modes from …

Anurans are endangered worldwide and declining populations are in need of urgent
conservation management. Optimal conservation actions ideally rely on basic ecological …

A última lista de espécies do Estado de São Paulo foi atualizada, totalizando 236 espécies

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 …

O presente trabalho consiste em um inventário da herpetofauna do Parque Estadual Carlos
