Download or read book Frogs of the Fitzingeri Group of Eleutherodactylus in Eastern Panama and Chocoan South America (Leptodactylidae) written by John D. Lynch and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Based on field data and on examination of more than 3000 preserved specimens, species limits and distributions are defined for the frogs currently assigned to the fitzingeri group of Eleutherodactylus in the Chocoan lowlands (mainly below 1000 m. elev. in eastern Panama, western Colombia, and western Ecuador). Several of the species are abundant, ecologically important animals that have been repeatedly confused in the literature. Nine species are treated in detail and described and illustrated from living as well as preserved material, with natural history notes added where possible. Eleutherodactylus achatinus (Boulenger) occurs from Panama south to southwestern Ecuador; the names E. brederi Dunn and Hylodes pagmae are assigned to its synonymy (although brederi might yet prove to be a valid sibling species with a different call). Eleutherodactylus caprifer Lynch is known from west-central Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. These two species lack appreciable toe webbing. The following four species have moderate toe webbing: Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri (O. Schmidt) occurs from Nicaragua to west-central Colombia, being here treated primarily in the southern part of its range, where it has been confused with Eleutherodactylus raniformis (Boulenger)--a larger frog that occurs from eastern Panama south to west-central Colombia. Eleutherodactylus longirostris (Boulenger) occurs from the Darién highlands of extreme eastern Panama throughout western Colombia to southern Ecuador. All previous reports of longirostris in lower Central America seem to have been based on specimens either of fitzingeri or especially of Eleutherodactylus crassidigitus Taylor, whose range is extended out of Costa Rica and throughout the Isthmus of Panama to the Colombian border. However, the variation of crassidigitus remains inadequately studied and the redefined species might be a composite. E. crassidigitus differs from longirostris in color pattern, smaller size, and in a greater extent of toe webbing, although all specimens do not show these differences to the same degree. A closer relative (sister species) of longirostris may be the Central American E. talamancae Dunn. The remaining three species are streamside frogs having extensive toe webbing: Eleutherodactylus anomalus (Boulenger) is common in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Eleutherodactylus anatipes, new species, is known only from northwestern Ecuador, and Eleutherodactylus zygodactylus, new species, is described from west-central Colombia. The fitzingeri group of Eleutherodactylus is especially diverse in the Chocoan lowlands. At most localities in South America, only two or three species are ever sympatric, but west of the Andes as many as seven species of the group co-occur in geographic sympatry, with species density being greatest in the region of the Río San Juan drainage of Colombia. Natural history data are fragmentary. The vocalizations and/or calling behavior of several species have characteristics that may reduce the frogs' vulnerability to sound-responsive predators"--P. 484.

Book Synopsis The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica by : Jay M. Savage
Download or read book The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica written by Jay M. Savage and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-08 with total page 1076 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World renowned for its biological diversity and model conservation system, Costa Rica is home to a wide variety of amphibians and reptiles, from the golden toad to the scorpion lizard and the black-headed bushmaster. Jay M. Savage has studied these fascinating creatures for more than forty years, and in The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica he provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of their biology and evolution ever produced. Savage begins with detailed discussions of the natural and cultural history of Costa Rica, setting the stage for a detailed treatment of each of the 396 species of amphibians and reptiles that may be found there. Each species account synthesizes and analyzes everything that is known about the animal's anatomy, behavior, geographic distribution, systematics, and evolutionary history and provides keys for identifying amphibians and reptiles in the field. In addition to distribution maps and systematic and morphological illustrations, the book includes color photographs of almost every known species, many taken by the distinguished nature photographers Michael and Patricia Fogden. Because Costa Rica has played, and continues to play, a pivotal role in the study of tropical biology as well as in the development of ecotourism and ecoprospecting, and because more than half of the amphibians and reptiles in Costa Rica are also found elsewhere in Central America, The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica will be an essential book for a wide audience of nature lovers, naturalists, ecotourists, field biologists, conservationists, and government planners.

Book Synopsis The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians by : Kentwood D. Wells
Download or read book The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians written by Kentwood D. Wells and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 1400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consisting of more than six thousand species, amphibians are more diverse than mammals and are found on every continent save Antarctica. Despite the abundance and diversity of these animals, many aspects of the biology of amphibians remain unstudied or misunderstood. The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians aims to fill this gap in the literature on this remarkable taxon. It is a celebration of the diversity of amphibian life and the ecological and behavioral adaptations that have made it a successful component of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Synthesizing seventy years of research on amphibian biology, Kentwood D. Wells addresses all major areas of inquiry, including phylogeny, classification, and morphology; aspects of physiological ecology such as water and temperature relations, respiration, metabolism, and energetics; movements and orientation; communication and social behavior; reproduction and parental care; ecology and behavior of amphibian larvae and ecological aspects of metamorphosis; ecological impact of predation on amphibian populations and antipredator defenses; and aspects of amphibian community ecology. With an eye towards modern concerns, The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians concludes with a chapter devoted to amphibian conservation. An unprecedented scholarly contribution to amphibian biology, this book is eagerly anticipated among specialists.

Book excerpt: "Amphibians are facing an extinction crisis, but getting to the facts has been difficult. "Threatened Amphibians of the World" is a visual journey through the first-ever comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of the world's 6,000 known species of frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians. All 1,900 species known to be threatened with extinction are covered, including a description of threats to each species and an evaluation of conservation measures in place or needed. Each entry includes a photograph or illustration of the species where available, a distribution map, and detailed information on range, population and habitat and ecology. Introductory chapters present a detailed analysis of the results, complemented by a series of short essays written by many of the world's leading herpetologists. Appendices include annoted lists of lower risk species and a country-by-country listing of threatened amphibians."--pub. desc.
