Audiovisual collections in traditional private or public institutions are crucial for preserving and safeguarding natural recordings of biodiversity. These archives represent a snapshot invaluable moments, behaviours, interactions among species, often representing the last only existing recordings. Therefore, animal vocalisation essential future generations to understand past preserve remaining In this study, we examined largest Latin American sound archive, Fonoteca Neotropical Jacques...
Anurans of the genus Brachycephalus are among smallest vertebrates in world, due to an extreme process miniaturization. As example this process, species show loss fingers, eardrum and middle ear, bone fusions, presence paravertebral plates parotic plaque. However, no studies addressing consequences miniaturization on internal organs, such as lungs heart, currently available. Thus, study aimed investigate if overall small body size has affected cardiorespiratory system. We investigated, via...
The genus Brachycephalus includes miniaturized toadlets with two distinct morphotypes: brightly colored species a bufoniform phenotype and smaller, cryptic leptodactyliform phenotype. diversity of is still underappreciated, we generally lack fundamental information about their biology. Recent sampling efforts, including DNA analyses recordings advertisement calls, have improved our understanding this group. In the present study, describe new , one smallest vertebrates known. This...
