The vocal sac of Hylodidae (Amphibia, Anura): Phylogenetic and functional implications of a unique morphology
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-11)
Anuran vocal sacs are elastic chambers that recycle exhaled air during vocalizations and are present in males of most species of frogs. Most knowledge of the diversity of vocal sacs relates to external morphology; detailed ...
Convergence to the tiniest detail: vocal sac structure in torrent-dwelling frogs
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-07)
Cascades and fast-flowing streams impose severe restrictions on acoustic communication, with loud broadband background noise hampering signal detection and recognition. In this context, diverse behavioural features, such ...
Vocal sac development and accelerated sexual maturity in the lesser swimming frog, Pseudis minuta (Anura, Hylidae)
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2016-12)
Sexual maturity involves the differentiation of the reproductive system, the maturation of germ cells, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Even though this topic has received much attention, little is ...
Diversity and evolution of the extraordinary vocal sacs of casque-headed treefrogs (Anura: Hylidae)
(2021-10-01)
Vocal sacs are among the most conspicuous features of anurans and are particularly striking in casque-headed treefrogs (Hylidae: Hylinae: Lophyohylini) with their wide array of morphologies. In this paper, we assessed the ...

A New Species of the Scinax catharinae Group (Anura: Hylidae) From the Highlands of Santa Catarina, Brazil
(Soc Brasileira Herpetologia, 2019-12-01)
We describe a new species of the Scinax catharinae group from the highlands of the State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from the other species of the group for having a trapezoid ...
Evolution of the strikingly diverse submandibular muscles in Anura
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02)
The most ventral muscles of the head (the mm. submentalis, intermandibularis, and interhyoideus) provide support to the gular region and lift the buccal floor during ventilation and feeding. These muscles show limited ...

(Brazilian Society of Herpetology, 2019-09)
We describe a new species of the Scinax catharinae group from the highlands of the State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from the other species of the group for having a trapezoid ...
A new species of hylodes (Anura, Hylodidae) and its secretive underwater breeding behavior
(Herpetologists League, 2015-03-01)
We describe a new species of Hylodes from the Atlantic forest of Serra do Japi, Municipio de Jundiai, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The new species belongs to the Hylodes lateristrigatus group, characterized by light oblique ...
