However, this number is likely an underestimate due to the presence of many unexplored areas that are diffcult to access. Between 2012 and 2017, a monitoring survey of amphibians was conducted in the Central Caribbean of Costa Rica, on the northern edge of the Matama mountains in the Talamanca mountain range, to study the distribution patterns and natural history of species across this region, particularly those considered as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The results show the highest amphibian species richness among Middle America lowland evergreen forests, with a notable anuran representation of 64 species.

We obtained data on the local species composition 5 of 123 sites throughout the range of Hylidae (Tables S1–S3). Our major source of 6 data was published studies of the amphibian faunas of local sites. We focused on 7 well-studied site, typically of several km2 in size, that represent a single biome or 8 habitat (e.g. tropical lowland rainforest), but include multiple microhabitats (e.g. 9 forest, stream edge, pond). We generally excluded sites spanning multiple 10 biomes, and from poorly known regions in which the observed hylid richness 11 was much lower than for other sites in the same region (possibly reflecting poor 12 sampling or human impacts). In some cases, we also included species lists from 13 national parks or reserves, particularly for regions where we could corroborate 14 these lists with published range maps (e.g. U.S., Australia). For some areas 15 having few obvious sites, we picked localities where large numbers of hylid 16 species have been collected, based on literature or museum records. For areas 17 with very low hylid diversity (e.g., Europe, Asia, Western North America), we 18 used museum records. 19 For most analyses, we used a single, well-studied locality to represent 20 each major biogeographic region (Table 1), in order to reduce potential problems 21 of uneven numbers of sites among biogeographic regions, spatial 22 autocorrelation, and inadequately surveyed sites. For a given region, we used Wiens et al.

E-mail: [email protected]. 2 Pennsylvania State University, Department of Biology, Shenango Campus, Sharon, Pennsylvania 16146, USA. Abstract Helminths from fifteen species of frogs (Anura, Hylidae) from Costa Rica. Fifteen species of Costa Rican hylid frogs were examined for helminths: Agalychnis annae, Agalychnis callidryas, Agalychnis spurrelli, Dendropsophus ebraccatus, Dendropso- phus phlebodes, Duellmanohyla uranochroa, Hylomantis lemur, Hypsiboas rosenbergi, Isthmohyla pictipes, Isthmohyla rivularis, Isthmohyla tica, Scinax elaeochrous, Smilisca phaeota, Smilisca sordida, Tlalocohyla loquax. The frogs were found to harbor twelve species of helminths including one species of Monogenea, (Polystoma naevius), two species of Digenea (Gorgoderina diaster and Mesocoelium monas), eight species of Nematoda (Cosmocerca podicipinus, Falcaustra costaricae, Ochoterenella digiticauda, Oswaldocruzia costaricensis, Oxyascaris mcdiarmidi, Rhabdias savagei, Physaloptera sp. and Acuariidae gen. sp.) and one species of Acanthocephala (Anuracanthorhynchus lutzi). Mean number of helminth species per infected host species was 2.7 ± 0.3 SE (range 1-5). Thirty-nine new host records are reported. Keywords: Anura, Hylidae, helminths, Monogenea, Digenea, Nematoda, Acantho- cephala, Costa Rica. Introduction Brooks (2004) described Parapharyngodon duniae from Phrynohyas venulosa (currently The helminth biodiversity of Neotropical Trachycephalus venulosus). Brooks et al. vertebrates is virtually unknown (Salgado- (2006) listed platyhelminth parasites from 6 Maldonado et al. 2000) and consequently little Costa Rican hylid species, Isthmohyla information is available on the helminths of lancasteri, Scinax boulengeri, Smilisca baudinii, Costa Rican hylid frogs.

San Pedro, San José, Costa Rica, e-mail: [email protected] 2Asociación para la Conservación y el Estudio de la Biodiversidad, San Pedro, Costa Rica 3Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales 210, Australia Abstract.The Craugastor rugulosus species series has been one of the most affected clades by the decline of amphibian populations in Mesoamerica. These stream-dwelling frogs are threatened at all altitudinal ranges throughout their distribution. Craugastor ranoides is categorized as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to the disappearance of populations in the highlands and lowlands of Costa Rica. Currently the species is only found on the Santa Elena Peninsula. Additional ecological and natural history studies are necessary to formulate conservation plans for this species, which should include captive breeding programs and continuous monitoring of wild populations. We conducted a study of density, habitat use, and morphometrics of C. ranoides in three streams on the Santa Elena Peninsula Guanacaste, Costa Rica, during two consecutive dry seasons. The density of adult frogs and the probabilities of detection were similar during both dry seasons but we found differences in both parameters between streams. Counts of juveniles and subadults differed between seasons and between streams.

  • Cerrophidion Wilsoni Jadin, Townsend, Castoe, and Campbell, 2012. The
    Cerrophidion wilsoni Jadin, Townsend, Castoe, and Campbell, 2012. The Honduran Montane Pitviper is a priority one species with an EVS of 15, placing it in the high vulnerability category (see this paper). This pitviper is distributed primarily in lower montane rainforest at elevations from 1,400 to 3,491 m, but can occur peripherally in premontane rainforest and pine-oak forest as low as 1,220 m (Jadin et al. 2012). As indicated by Jadin et al. (2012: 10), this snake “occurs in at least 13 isolated highland forest areas across Eastern Nuclear Central America…and all known populations…are found within the borders of Honduras and El Salvador.” This juvenile individual was found in Refugio de Vida Silvestre Texíguat, in north-central Honduras. One of the describers of this taxon is the dedicatee of this paper, and the snake was named in honor of one of the authors. Photo by Josiah H. Townsend. Amphib. Reptile Conserv. 1 January 2019 | Volume 13 | Number 1 | e168 DEDICATION We are happy to dedicate this paper to our friend and Josiah H. Townsend. 2018. An integrative assessment colleague, Josiah H. Townsend, Associate Professor of of the taxonomic status of putative hybrid leopard frogs Biology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, in Indiana, (Anura: Ranidae) from the Chortís Highlands of Central Pennsylvania. Over the last two decades, since he was America, with description of a new species. Systematics a student in one of Larry Wilson’s classes, Joe has built and Biodiversity 2018: 1–17. This paper is an example an imposing reputation as the principal authority on the of the seminal work being conducted by Joe Townsend herpetofauna of the biogeographically significant Chortís and his colleagues, which is exposing the underestimated Highlands of northern Central America.

Alteration of the microbiome by anthropogenic factors, like pesticides, Citation: Jiménez, R.R.; Alvarado, G.; can impact this protective trait, disrupting its functionality. Chlorothalonil is a widely used fungicide Ruepert, C.; Ballestero, E.; Sommer, S. that has been recognized as having an impact on amphibians, but so far, no studies have investigated The Fungicide Chlorothalonil its effects on amphibian microbial communities. In the present study, we used the amphibian Changes the Amphibian Skin Lithobates vibicarius from the montane forest of Costa Rica, which now appears to persist despite Microbiome: A Potential Factor ongoing Bd-exposure, as an experimental model organism.
