Amphibian chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is reported in Uruguayan native amphibians for the first time. Histological evidence of infection was observed tadpoles Hypsiboas pulchellus, Odontophrynus maisuma, Physalaemus henselii, and Scinax squalirostris. The effects on these species are still unknown. However, disease potential concern conservation apparently declining P. henselii also O. given its restricted distribution habitats which being increasingly disturbed.
This paper analyses the lichen flora of Navarino Island (Tierra del Fuego, Cape Horn Region, Chile), identifying species shared with South Shetland Islands (Antarctic Peninsula). In this common flora, are grouped by their biogeographic origin (Antarctic–subantarctic endemic, austral, bipolar, and cosmopolitan), habitat on (coastal, forest, alpine), morphotype (crustaceous, foliaceous, fruticulose, cladonioid), substrate from which they were collected (epiphytic, terricolous humicolous,...
Two strict polar-alpine Umbilicaria species (U. aprina and U. virginis) are reported growing together in Los Peñones de San Francisco. Other localities known on the highest summits of Alps Pyrenees considered. We discussed meaning these isolated populations as glacial relicts.
