TL;DR: The results showed that the available existing base still does not allow us to define the structural patterns of the anuran communities in sandy coastal plains in Brazil, and the relative lack of studies about the anurofauna in “restingas” and the high rate of degradation are negative factors that can cause extinctions in these environments even before the authors understand the patterns and processes that act on anurans in restinga environments.

TL;DR: The relationship between frog body mass and frog abundance was significant, suggesting that a general biological trend in this relationship occurs in the study area, and five of the litter frog species recorded are considered endemic to the Atlantic Forest.

TL;DR: The diet of two populations of this anuran in two states in southeast Brazil presented a rich diet composition, preying 19 prey types, and the females of the species were larger than the males, which may result from the production of larger eggs.

TL;DR: The composition of the amphibian communities was not related systematically to habitat structure in general, but rather to the availability of spawning sites (sources of freestanding water), which appears to be the most important ecological factor structuring these communities.

TL;DR: This work reports geographic range extensions for two anuran species, Brachycephalus didactylus (Bachycephalidae) and Zachaenus parvulus (Cycloramphidae), recorded during a short-term herpetofaunal survey at mid-elevation Atlantic Forest sites in Espirito Santo.
