Diversidade ecológica e genética em populações de Hypsiboas puchellus (Hylidae) de dois biomas da América do Sul
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2013-11-29)Biological diversification generates patterns of genetic diversity, be it driven by neutral biogeographic (variance and dispersal) or populational (demographic fluctuation) or even adaptive processes mediated by natural ...

Evolutionary history of Scinax treefrogs on land-bridge islands in south-eastern Brazil
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-09-01)Aim We investigated how Pleistocene refugia and recent (c. 12,000 years ago) sea level incursions shaped genetic differentiation in mainland and island populations of the Scinax perpusillus treefrog group. Location Brazilian ...

Gene and species trees of a Neotropical group of treefrogs: Genetic diversification in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and the origin of a polyploid species
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-12-01)The Neotropical Phyllomedusa burmeisteri treefrog group includes four diploid (P. bahiana, P. burmeisteri, P. distincta and P. iheringii) and one tetraploid (P. tetraploidea) forms. Here we use mitochondrial and nuclear ...

One step forward: contrasting the effects of Toe clipping and PIT tagging on frog survival and recapture probability
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-04-01)Amphibians have been declining worldwide and the comprehension of the threats that they face could be improved by using mark-recapture models to estimate vital rates of natural populations. Recently, the consequences of ...
