The discovery of P. sancristobali confirms the high levels of endemism and beta diversity of Phrynopus in the moist puna grasslands and montane forests of the high Andes of Peru, and suggests that further work will reveal the presence of additional species in southern Peru. Leer más.
We found that body temperature reflected substrate temperatures, and that the proportion of melanistic coloration has no influence on heating or cooling rates or on color changes. These findings suggest that, in E. macularius, melanistic coloration may not be used for thermoregulation. Leer más.
Desde el proyecto “Corredores ecológicos para anfibios, conectando arco verde con los espacios RB” que desarrolla la AHE, financiado íntegramente por la Unión Europea con fondos NextGenerationEU y enmarcado dentro del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, os explicamos en un breve video un ejemplo de sustitución de la fauna autóctona por especies exóticas invasoras “EEI” en charcas o lagunas permanentes.
Esperamos que os guste.
Our results highlight strong seasonal patterns in both host clinical signs and Oo prevalence and support the efficacy of using gross clinical signs of disease in combination with qPCR on skin swabs to assess disease dynamics in free-living snakes. Leer más.
Body size tends to exert a negative effect on the dispersal capacity of island squamates, but this relationship is positive in a subgroup of recently introduced commensal species. Leer más.
