Physiological responses of Brazilian amphibians to an enzootic infection of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Inter-research, 2016-01-13)
Pathophysiological effects of clinical chytridiomycosis in amphibians include disorders of cutaneous osmoregulation and disruption of the ability to rehydrate, which can lead to decreased host fitness or mortality. Less ...
Visceral mycobacteriosis in amphibians from the Brazilian Caatinga region
(Inter-research, 2021-01-01)
Emerging infectious diseases in wild animals related to humans have received greater attention in recent years. Mycobacteriosis is a bacterial disease of animal and human importance. Mycobacterium gordonae infects the skin ...
Amphibian conservation in the caatinga biome and semiarid region of Brazil
(Herpetologica, 2012)
The Brazilian Ministry of the Environment (Ministe´ rio Do Meio Ambiente, MMA) proposed defining priority areas for Brazilian biodiversity conservation in 2007, but to date, no definitions of priority areas for amphibian ...
A functional perspective for global amphibian conservation
(2020-05-01)
In anurans, habitat requirements strongly influence morphological evolution, resulting in ecomorphological groups. Current policy for amphibian conservation usually builds on species, without considering to the distinct ...

Environmental DNA as a non-invasive alternative for surveying aquatic communities in tank bromeliads
(2021-01-01)
Tank bromeliads provide a freshwater microhabitat for a rich aquatic community, including amphibian species. Some of these amphibians are threatened, among other factors, because their host plants are also threatened. DNA ...

Notes on vocalizations of Brazilian amphibians IV: advertisement calls of 20 Atlantic Forest frog species
(Peerj Inc, 2019-09-13)
Bioacoustics is a powerful tool used for anuran species diagnoses, given that advertisement calls are signals related to specific recognition and mate attraction. Thus, call descriptions can support species taxonomy. In ...
Humidity levels drive reproductive modes and phylogenetic diversity of amphibians in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-09-01)
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 distribution patterns on a broad scale. We ...
