Climate change is one of the key drivers of the dramatic erosion of global biodiversity.
Poikilothermic organisms, such as amphibians, are particularly prone to alterations in …

Although anuran tadpoles are widely distributed and abundant in tropical aquatic habitats,
there is a lack of taxonomic keys for the Atlantic Forest. Herein, we developed a …

Given the speed at which humans are changing the climate, species with high degrees of
endemism may not have time to avoid extinction through adaptation. We investigated …

Extinction risk assessments are valuable conservation tools, especially for sensitive groups
like amphibians, which are facing escalating threats from habitat loss and degradation. In …

Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic Forest harbors high levels of anuran diversity and endemism,
including several taxa restricted to small geographic ranges. Here, we provide a multilocus …

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 …

We present a synthesis of anuran diversity and distribution in the Mantiqueira Mountain
Range, one of the largest mountain ranges occurring within the Atlantic Forest biome of …

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

Abstract In the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest (AF), amphibians (625 species) face habitat
degradation leading to stressful thermal conditions that constrain animal activity (eg …

A checklist of the amphibians of Santa Teresa municipality, in southeastern Brazil is
presented based on fieldwork, examination of specimens in collections, and a literature …
