A new species of Osteocephalus is described from lowland Amazonia the Departamento Pando, northern Bolivia. The most similar to planiceps but differs by its smaller size (SVL 47.8–51.3 mm in males, 47.7–63.3 females), absence vocal slits, lack sexual dimorphism dorsal tubercles, single distal subarticular tubercle on fourth finger, dark spots flanks, and bicoloured iris with fine reticulate radiate lines. inhabits terra firme rainforest, breeds water-filled fruit capsules Brazil nut tree has...
Abstract The South American lizard genus Liolaemus comprises > 260 species, of which 60 are recognized as members the montanus group, distributed throughout Andes in central Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. Despite its great morphological diversity complex taxonomic history, a robust phylogenetic estimate is still lacking for this group. Here, we study molecular L. group present most complete quantitative hypothesis to date. Our phylogeny includes 103 terminal taxa, 91 (58 assigned...
Se registran las dos poblaciones mas altas de lagartijas pertenecientes al genero Liolaemus grupo montanus en la Republica Bolivia, departamento La Paz, provincia Franz Tamayo, municipio Pelechuco, 4.8 km este comunidad Puyo Puyo, Cordillera Apolobamba, cerro Moraruni y provincia Los Andes, Pucarani a 5 noroeste represa Tuni, Paco Thojo.
We collected two specimens of the genus Hyalinobatrachium during fieldwork expeditions to Departamento Pando—the northernmost region Bolivia situated in south-western Amazonian basin, within zone tall evergreen lowland rainforest. The are deposited Colección Boliviana de Fauna, La Paz (CBF 6453) and National Museum, Prague (NMP6V 74059). Because species identification based only on morphological characters is many cases problematic (Kok & Castroviejo-Fisher 2008; et al. 2009), we took...
Pragmatic methods to assess the status of biodiversity at multiple scales are required support conservation decision-making. At intersection several major biogeographic zones, Bolivia has extraordinary potential develop a monitoring strategy aligned with objectives Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON). Bolivia, GEO Observer since 2005, is already working adequacy national earth observations towards Global System Systems (GEOSS). However, still an...
We describe a new species of small Dendropsophus from lowland Amazonia the Departamento Pando, northern Bolivia. The is mainly characterized by smooth dorsal skin, indistinct tympanic annulus, lack tarsal folds, yellowish-tan to reddish-brown dorsum with obscure dark brown markings, colouration loreal-tympanic region and flanks sharply outlined contrasting against yellowish-green bluish-green vocal sac in life. advertisement call consists series very short pulsed notes, note repetion rate...
A new species of Telmatobius is described from humid paramo southeastern Peru and western Bolivia. Males the differ those sanborni, only other in area, mainly by lacking hypertrophied forearms having smaller nuptial spicules; addition, color patterns are different. The apparent low diversity forest southern may be an artifact lack research on this group frogs region.
A new small species of Dendrospsophus is described from lowland Amazonia the Departamento Pando, northern Bolivia. The mainly characterized by smooth dorsal skin with scattered minute tubercles, relatively large distal subarticular tubercle on first toe, lack tarsal folds, light brown to dark reddish or purple dorsum numerous markings and spots, colouration loreal-tympanic region sharply outlined contrasting against head colouration, one two white spots below eye, yellow vocal sac in life,...
The Liolaemus montanus group is a diverse of lizards that ranges from central Peru to southwestern Mendoza, Argentina, including much the Plurinational State Bolivia ("Bolivia") and Chile. species this mainly inhabit high elevation areas with cold temperatures. In last years, several have been described, mostly in Argentina Bolivia, there are at least thirteen valid belonging L. group. study, we describe new marked endemism Cordillera de Sama Tarija Department, combination unique character...
Eleutherodactylus olivaceus sp. n., a member of the E. unistrigatus group is described. The new species known from montane rainforests Departamento Cochabamba, Bolivia, as well lowland rainforest Madre de Dios, Perú. mainly characterized by its predominantly olive green dorsal color and papilla on tip snout. Advertisement call habitat are occurrence mendax in Bolivia briefly discussed.
La revision exhaustiva en los ejemplares del grupo Liolaemus montanus depositados la Coleccion Boliviana de Fauna permite ampliar distribucion geografica especie pleopholis oeste a este llegando territorio boliviano y considerarla como un primer registro para el pais.
Abstract We used radio-telemetry to record how Caiman yacare (Cy) and Melanosuchus niger (Mn) responded the intrusion of Maniqui river into Cedral Lagoon in Bolivian Amazon. Nine M. 3 C. were followed between December 2015 May 2016. Both species showed a gradual reduction mean monthly range from (19.96 ha Mn 1.74 Cy) 2016 (0.08 0.24 Cy). Habitat use was fairly constant throughout months for both species, mainly open swampy forests Cyperaceae Marshes, while more islands flooded grasslands....
La revision rigurosa de especimenes del genero Liolaemus , depositados en la Coleccion Boliviana Fauna, permite ampliar distribucion especie endemica variegatus a mas 500 km al sur pais el departamento Tarija.
Abstract We studied Tachymenis peruviana `s thermoregulatory strategy, and microhabitat use selection in an open enclosure at 3400 m elevation during the wet season. expected that thermal conditions a high locality would result differences efficiency within microhabitats through their along day. obtained preferred temperatures critical tolerance limits of field-captured individuals. Some individuals were kept with access to four types retreats where hide. measured individuals’ field-body...
A new species of Bufo is described from cloud forests the Cordillera de Apolobamba, La Paz, Bolivia. The has large glands on dorsal surfaces shanks and forearms tentatively included in B. spinulosus group.
We expanded the known distribution of leaflitter frog Pristimantis ockendeni (Boulenger, 1912) with a new record from Madidi National Park, La Paz, Bolivia. This represents southernmost along Andes for this species. Individuals were found in montane savanna and gallery forest at about 1800 m above sea level close to Machariapo River near community Sarayo.
La vulnerabilidad de las serpientes al cambio climático, la pérdida hábitats naturales y el conflicto con los humanos hacen imperiosa necesidad conocer más sobre su diversidad en territorio boliviano. Además, debido temor que personas les tienen a serpientes, muchas ellas son eliminadas intencionalmente otras mueren atropelladas carreteras, por lo estos ejemplares una fuente importante para registro especies. Esta información fue obtenida alrededores ciudad San Borja Beni- Bolivia se comparó...
