Abstract Aim For many taxa, inaccuracy of species boundaries and distributions hampers inferences about diversity evolution. This is particularly true in the Neotropics where prevalence cryptic has often been demonstrated. The frog genus Adenomera suspected to harbour more than 16 currently recognized. These small terrestrial occur Amazonia, Atlantic Forest ( AF ), open formations Dry Diagonal DD : Chaco, Cerrado Caatinga). widespread taxonomically complex taxon provides a good opportunity...
Abstract The relationships of the hyline tribe Dendropsophini remain poorly studied, with most published analyses dealing few species groups Dendropsophus . In order to test monophyly Dendropsophini, its genera, and currently recognized in , we performed a total evidence phylogenetic analysis. molecular dataset included sequences three mitochondrial five nuclear genes from 210 terminals, including 12 outgroup species, two Xenohyla 93 108 phenomic includes 46 one per (34 11 species). Our...
Physalaemus olfersii was described by M.H.K. Lichtenstein and E.K. Martens in 1856 based on two syntypes collected I.M. Olfers between the years 1818 1819. Due to brevity of it’s original description high interpopulational variation, a taxonomic review material assigned species is proposed. Morphological comparisons allowed us associate syntype P. populations distributed state Espírito Santo São Paulo which southern limit municipality Paulo. Historical documents define an area within Serra...
We describe a new species of Adenomera from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest corresponding to one candidate indicated in published phylogeny genus ("sp. R"). The differs all 18 congeners by combination small size, absence toe discs, and advertisement call composed single nonpulsed note with pronounced frequency upsweep. From closest related morphologically cryptic araucaria, is distinguished only its (multipulsed A. araucaria). distributed Serra do Tabuleiro mountain range Santa Catarina...
Taxonomists always have had intense discussions about how species should be delimited and recently many studies used integrative approaches by combining molecular, morphological, bioacoustic data. Although these are paramount for understanding diversity, few of them actually formalize delimitations to the final step nomenclatural acts. Historically, Neotropical frog genus Adenomera has been considered as a difficult taxonomic group because it comprises morphologically similar exhibiting high...
A new species of the genus Physalaemus is described from Serra da Pedra Branca do Araraquara, Municipality Guaratuba, State Paraná, southern Brazil. Belonging to P. olfersii group, insperatus sp. nov. closely related aguirrei and presents well-developed vocal sacs expanded laterally supratympanic fold, digits very thin, large inguinal glands.
This study describes for the first time female of Leptodactylus cupreus and provides new information concerning its geographical distribution, male’s morphology bioacustics. cupreus, a poorly known species from Brazilian Atlantic Forest, was originally allocated in L. mystaceus complex fuscus group. Based on morphological observations, we infer that should be fact related to mystacinus, that, although assigned group, is not complex. Therefore, comment phylo-genetic relationships mystacinus.

The use of molecular data for documenting biodiversity has become more common over time as larger datasets can be generated faster. Nevertheless, studies addressing phenotypical have not common. As a collateral effect, many samples used in are assigned to species without checking phenomic characters the vouchers. Correct specific assignment is paramount any biological hypothesis. A recent review Phyzelaphryninae, while producing interesting results, specified how some vouchers analyses were...
The genus Adenomera Steindachner, 1867 currently comprises 29 nominal species, some of which are suggested to be cryptic species complexes. present study was carried out with specimens the “ thomei ” clade that encompasses three taxa distributed in Atlantic Forest biome: Almeida et Angulo, 2006, sp. L., and M. We used classical cytogenetics describe diploid number karyomorphology these collected two different locations state Bahia, Brazil. Our results revealed 2n = 24 (FN 34) pairs...
