Book excerpt: The first major synthesis of marsupial frogs, this book is the magnum opus of renowned herpetologist William E. Duellman. This scientific masterpiece reveals many aspects of the lives of marsupial frogs and closely allied genera. Native to Central and South America, these amphibians differ from other frogs in that they protect their eggs after oviposition by either adhering them to the female’s back or placing them in a specialized dorsal pouch (thus the common name, marsupial frog). During mating, the male typically collects the eggs from the female with his feet—often one at a time and always out of water—fertilizes them, and then tucks them into the female’s pouch or attaches them to her back. In some species these eggs hatch as tadpoles, but most emerge as miniatures of the adults. Even among the tadpoles there is remarkable divergence, with some behaving in the typical manner (feeding and metamorphosing), whereas others forego all feeding until they metamorphose. In Marsupial Frogs, William E. Duellman’s synthesis of all that is known about the unique family Hemiphractidae is largely based on decades of his own careful laboratory and field study. He reveals the diversity of exotic color patterns and the frogs' geographic distributions by providing more than 200 photographs, illustrations, and maps. This exceptional tome should find its way into the libraries of serious herpetologists, tropical biologists, and developmental biologists. Included in this book are • A molecular phylogeny of the family Hemiphractidae • A thorough osteological analysis • A review of external morphological features • An overview of the evolution of reproductive modes • A biogeographic synthesis • Keys to genera and species • Diagnosis and thorough description of each species of marsupial frog • Colored physiographic maps depicting species distributions

This book was released on 2019 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We review the systematics of the species of Gastrotheca (Anura: Hemiphractidae) in the highlands of the southern Ecuadorian Andes. We analyzed phylogenetic, morphological, ecological, and acoustic data from populations in the region. We provide an updated phylogenetic hypothesis inferred from a database that contains 42 species of Gastrotheca, and sequences from mitochondrial (12S, 16S, and ND1) and nuclear (POMC and RAG-1) genes. We describe four new endemic biphasic species for Ecuador (Gastrotheca cuencana, G. elicioi, G. turnerorum, and G. yacuri). In addition, we redefine G. lojana, recently resurrected from the synonymy of G. monticola, and redescribe G. litonedis. Furthermore, we describe the tadpoles and ontogenetic color changes in six species (G. cuencana, G. elicioi, G. litonedis, G. lojana, G. pseustes, and G. turnerorum). Also, we describe the calls of seven species (G. cuencana, G. elicioi, G. litonedis, G. lojana, G. pseustes, G. testudinea, and G. yacuri).

This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Species of Centrolenid Frogs From Northern Peru In the Departamento San Martin, a complex series of ridges reaching elevations of more than 1000 m extend eastward and southward from the Cordillera Central of the Andes. These steep, rocky ridges support lower montane rainforest and cloud forest, whereas the intervening valleys, most of which are extensively cultivated, contain remnants of dry tropical forest. Many small streams cascade down these slopes; major drainage systems flow south Rio Mayo) or east (e. G., Rio Cainarache) into the Rio Huallaga, which separates the Cordillera Central from the Cordillera Oriental. In northern Peru, the Cordillera Oriental terminates in a series of ridges with elevations of 1000 - 1200 m. The Rio Huallaga cuts a canyon through these front ranges between Shapaja and Chazuta, to the south of which is the northern end of the Cordillera Azul (fig.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Systematic Review of the Marsupial Frogs (Hylidae, Gastrotheca) Of the Andes of Ecuador I have examined 1125 preserved frogs (including type speci mens of all taxa), 24 skeletons, and 50 lots of tadpoles referable to the species discussed in this paper, and I have studied each of the species in the field. Terminology follows that of Duellman except for two additional measurements: length of third finger is the distance from the proximal edge of the palmar tubercle to the tip of the finger; length of thumb is the distance from the proximal edge of the prepollical tubercle to the tip of the thumb. Through out the text, specimens are listed by their catalogue numbers pre ceded by the appropriate museum abbreviations, as follows.
