Sueltan en la Serra de Tramuntana un centenar de ferrerets criados en el Zoo de Barcelona

Este pequeño anfibio anuro pertenece a la familia Alytidae endémico de las Baleares, concretamente de la isla de Mallorca. Hoy en día ya no está presente en el resto de las Baleares; en Menorca sólo se han encontrado restos óseos. Leer más.

The Second Specimen of the Ghost Leaf-Frog Phrynomedusa fimbriata Miranda-Ribeiro, 1923 (Hylidae: Phyllomedusinae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

While examining the specimens deposited in the herpetological collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, we discovered a second specimen of P. fimbriata, an adult male collected in the “Serra do Araraquara,” state of Paraná, Brazil, previously identified as Phrynomedusa appendiculata.

De novo genome assemblies of two cryptodiran turtles with ZZ/ZW and XX/XY sex chromosomes provide insights into patterns of genome reshuffling and uncover novel 3D genome folding in amniotes

We hypothesize that the divergent pattern found in turtles originated from an amniote ancestral state defined by a nuclear configuration with extensive associations among microchromosomes that were preserved upon the reshuffling of the linear genome. Leer más.

High phenotypic diversity correlated with genomic variation across the European Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans epizootic

Our findings help to explain observed Bsal epidemiology and provide insights into how strain identity strongly influences when and which host populations are most at risk, with important implications for Bsal research and amphibian conservation efforts. Leer más.
