Poison frogs, quick guide
(2015)
What are poison frogs? Poison frogs, also commonly called ‘dart poison frogs’ or ‘poison arrow frogs’, are charismatic amphibians forming a spectacular adaptive radiation, comparable to that of African cichlids. Many of ...
Description of a new reproductive mode in Leptodactylus (Anura, Leptodactylidae), with a review of the reproductive specialization toward terrestriality in the genus
(2002-12-31)
The genus Leptodactylus provides an example among anurans in which there is an evident tendency toward terrestrial reproduction. Herein we describe a new reproductive mode for the frog Leptodactylus podicipinus, a member ...

Reproductive cycle, sexual maturity and longevity ofOdontophrynus americanus(Anura: Odontophrynidae) in South Brazil
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-10-14)
Studies on the reproductive biology and age of amphibians provide primary information about the life history and population demographic parameters of species. Here, we describe the reproductive cycle, size-fecundity ...
Polyandry, Predation, and the Evolution of Frog Reproductive Modes
(Univ Chicago Press, 2016-09-01)
Frog reproductive modes are complex phenotypes that include egg/clutch characteristics, oviposition site, larval development, and sometimes, parental care. Two evident patterns in the evolution of these traits are the ...
Reproductive modes in frogs and their unexpected diversity in the Atlantic forest of Brazil
(2005-03-01)
Amphibians, and especially the anurans (frogs and toads), exhibit a greater diversity of reproductive modes than other tetrapod vertebrates. Twenty-nine reproductive modes have been recognized for the anurans; we propose ...

Differences in escape behavior between a cryptic and an aposematic litter frog
(2011)
Clay models have been used to investigate the relative antipredator effectiveness of cryptic and of aposematic coloration in litter frogs, but such studies do not account for possible differences in prey escape behavior. ...
