Reproductive Modes in Frogs and Their Unexpected Diversity in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil
TL;DR: The highly complex topography of the Atlantic forest, breaking up the biome into many small micro-habitats, and the high humidity, which reduces desiccation risks, have enabled the evolution of reproductive specializations such as eggs or tadpoles that develop out of water.

TL;DR: It is shown that small-sized frogs often emit calls with frequency components in the ultrasound spectrum, although it is unlikely that these high frequencies are of biological relevance for the majority of them, and it is illustrated that detection of upper harmonics depends also on recording distance because higher frequencies are attenuated more strongly.

12. The Character and Dynamics of the Cerrado Herpetofauna
TL;DR: The earliest work on the herpetofauna of the cerrado is a list of 54 reptiles and amphibians from Lagoa Santa, state of Minas Gerais, prepared by Warming (1892) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results, at a spatial scale and resolution unprecedented for a Neotropical vertebrate, confirm that widespread amphibian species occur in lowland South America, yet at the same time a large proportion of cryptic diversity still remains to be discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of colour and pattern polymorphisms in anurans
TL;DR: Despite the wide occurrence of pattern or colour polymorphisms in anurans, surprisingly little conclusive work has been done on the inheritance and selective maintenance of this variation and anuran polymorphisms remain a rich but largely unexploited system for studying the evolution of phenotypic variation in nature.
