Book Description
Excerpt from A Synopsis of Neotropical Hylid Frogs, Genus Osteocephalus We have examined 893 preserved frogs, including the type speci mens of all included nominal taxa, 8 skeletons, 1 lot of eggs, and 3 lots of tadpoles that we refer to the genus Osteocephalus; in addi tion skulls were removed from five preserved specimens, and radiographs were made of 12 other preserved specimens. We have been fortunate in seeing living individuals of all species, except 0. Pearsom', but we have colored photographs of a living specimen of that species. Figures 1 and 2 were drawn from projected colored transparencies of living frogs. Terminology follows that of Duell man (1970b). On the distribution maps solid symbols indicate lo calities from which we have examined specimens open symbols rep resent additional locality records based on the literature. Through out the text specimens are listed by their catalogue numbers pre ceded by the appropriate museum abbreviation, as follows.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
In "A Synopsis of Neotropical Hylid Frogs, Genus Osteocephalus," editors William Edward Duellman and Linda Trueb curate a comprehensive exploration of one of the most vibrant amphibian genera in the Neotropical realm. The collection stands as a seminal work, melding rigorous scientific research with a clear, accessible presentation, making it an invaluable resource for herpetologists, ecologists, and conservationists alike. This anthology not only delineates the vast diversity within the Osteocephalus genus but also underscores the ecological significance of these creatures within their respective ecosystems, offering vital insight into their behavior, physiology, and the urgent conservation challenges they face. The contributions from Duellman and Trueb, both esteemed figures in the field of herpetology, reflect a deep understanding and passion for amphibian studies. Their work is part of a broader scholarly endeavor to catalog and conserve the rich biodiversity of the Neotropical region. This anthology aligns with contemporary movements in biological conservation and biodiversity studies, merging detailed scientific descriptions with broader ecological contexts, thereby illustrating the interconnectedness of species and their habitats. "A Synopsis of Neotropical Hylid Frogs, Genus Osteocephalus" is recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Neotropical amphibian diversity and conservation. Through its engaging narrative and meticulous research, it offers readers a unique opportunity to explore the complexities of the Osteocephalus genus, highlighting the collaborative effort required to preserve our planet's biodiversity. This collection is a testament to the richness of life and the critical need for continued scientific inquiry into the natural world.

Ecology of Amphibian-Microbial Symbioses
Author: Eria A. Rebollar
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889459055
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The field of amphibian microbial ecology has greatly advanced in recent years. The work published to date has shown that amphibian skin bacterial communities can be influenced by host species, host life-history stage, environmental conditions, surrounding bacterial communities that serve as reservoirs and external biotic agents such as pathogens. As the ecology of amphibian-microbial symbiosis is a relatively new field, there are still many unanswered questions. The aim of this Research Topic is to highlight recent research on amphibian microbiomes that addresses relevant questions on the ecology of amphibian-microbe interactions. The publications gathered in this Research Topic have expanded our knowledge on the role of microbial symbionts of amphibians and have revealed novel insights that can direct the next set of research questions. We suggest that soon the field will move from the basic (and necessary) descriptions of microbial communities to more experimental approaches that include the use of omics methods and a variety of novel analytic and multivariate approaches. In addition to providing more insights into the microbial and disease ecology of amphibians, these studies may lead to effective ways to manipulate the microbiome to achieve protection from diseases, such as chytridiomycosis.
