We describe a new species of Pristimantis from the Tinajillas-Rio Gualaceño Ecological Conservation Area, Morona Santiago province, an area montane forest in southeastern Andes Ecuador. nimbus sp. nov. is similar to P. altamazonicus, ardyae, bambu, bellator, caeruleonotus, cethospilus, churuwiai, croceoinguinis, cryptomelas, diadematus, flavobracatus, gualacenio, nigrogriseus, ventrimarmoratus, and versicolor which it can be distinguished by presence flash marks on flanks, groin, arm...
Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in world, but faces severe pressures and threats to its natural ecosystems. Numerous species have declined require be objectively evaluated quantified, as a step towards development conservation strategies. Herein, we present an updated National Red List Assessment for amphibian Ecuador, with detailed complete coverages any Ecuadorian taxonomic group date. Based on standardized methodologies that integrate work, spatial analyses, ecological...
Leptodeira is one of the most widespread and taxonomically problematic snake taxa in Americas. Here we describe a new species from Andes southern Ecuador based on morphological molecular data. The geographically close morphologically similar to L. ornata larcorum, which it can be distinguished by having smaller dorsal body blotches, longer tail, shorter spines hemipenial body. shortest genetic distances between its congeners are 0.02 (16S), 0.05 (cytb), 0.18 (ND4). restricted Jubones River...
Abstract Edge effects change biodiversity patterns and ecological processes, particularly in tropical forests. To understand the synergistic impact of multiple edges, this study examines how edge influence (EI) is associated with life-history traits (snout-vent length body temperature), diversity microhabitat amphibians as well habitat characteristics a forest Ecuador. We used EI, metric that calculates cumulative across all nearby combination five environmental variables are part...
A new species of Pristimantis is described from the highland paramos on eastern slopes Cajas Massif, southern Andes Ecuador, at 3400 m. This characterized by having a distinctive reddish color, cutaneous macroglands in suprascapular region and surfaces arm legs, lacking dentigerous processes vomers. The are similar to those exhibited several orcesi group, may suggest close phylogenetic relationship. could be latitudinal substitution Ecuador.ResúmenDescribimos una nueva especie de desde las...
