Vitreorana parvula was the first glassfrog described for the Atlantic Forest. The species, however, has become a taxonomic puzzle as the only known individual is the lectotype from the 19th century, which is not particularly well-preserved or accompanied by a detailed original description.  Leer más.

We did not find any statistical correlation between sexual size dimorphism and body size across the two studied regions. Such contradictory outcomes reveal complex geographic size patterns within T. graeca and raise conservation questions about demographic viability at smaller-sized sites. Leer más.

Using genome-scale molecular datasets, the extent of admixture across hybrid zones can now be effectively assessed and the evolutionary independence of lineages inferred, leading to more reliable and comparable species delimitation criteria. Leer más.

Conservation planning in freshwaters should consider the dynamic effects of climate change and the ability of species to cope with it. In this study, we developed a framework for incorporating climate-driven dispersal barriers into conservation planning taking into account the medium and long-term impacts of climate change and species with obligatory interactions.

We present a taxonomic review and systematic revision of the Eyelash Palmitviper Bothriechis schlegelii (Berthold, 1846) based on examination of 400 museum specimens, a phylogeographic analysis of 818 locality records, and 80 individuals sampled for molecular characters. Leer más.
