Altitudinales Subtropical oriental Identificación Machos Longitud Rostro-cloacal promedio = 55.7 mm (rango 49.8–61.1; n = 8) (Duellman 2015) Hembras Longitud Rostro-cloacal Promedio = 65.5 mm (rango 56.8–82.6; n = 23) (Duellman 2015) Es una especie grande con cabeza ancha, dorso variable entre café obscuro y verde, discos expandidos en los dedos, y membranas entre los dedos de los pies. Dos especies viven en las estribaciones orientales de los Andes de Ecuador, bajo los 2000 m: Gastrotheca andaquiensis y Gastrotheca weinlandii. Se diferencia de Gastrotheca andaquiensis por carecer de tubérculos carnosos, triangulares, en los párpados superiores (bien desarrollados en Gastrotheca andaquiensis). Se diferencia de ambas especies por carecer de calcares carnosos en los talones. Descripción La siguiente descripción se basa en Duellman (2015). El cuerpo es robusto. La cabeza es ligeramente más ancha que larga, pero no es tan ancha como el cuerpo. El hocico es redondeado en vista dorsal; inclinado desde los nostrilos a la punta, en vista lateral. El canthus rostralis es angular en sección transversal. La región loreal es cóncava; los labios son ligeramente redondeados. La parte superior de la cabeza es plana. La distancia interorbital es de aproximadamente el 200% del ancho del párpado superior. El área internarial vería entre plana y ligeramente convexa. Los nostrilos son ligeramente protuberantes. El diámetro del ojo es ligeramente menor que su distancia a los nostrilos. El tímpano es redondo, y se separa del ojo por una distancia aproximadamente 1.75 veces la longitud del tímpano. El anillo timpánico es evidente y tuberculado; el pliegue supratimpánico llega al flanco y oscurece el borde superior del tímpano. El brazo es moderadamente robusto y lleva una fila de tubérculos cubitales redondos. La mano es de tamaño moderado. Los dedos de la mano son moderadamente largos y tienen grandes discos redondos; el ancho del disco en el tercer dedo es mucho mayor que la longitud del tímpano. Los dedos de la mano no tienen membranas pero presentan rebordes cutáneos laterales a ambos lados. Los tubérculos subarticulares son grandes y redondos; ninguno es bífido. Los tubérculos supernumerarios son moderadamente grandes y redondos. El tubérculo palmar es bajo y bífido; el tubérculo prepolical es elíptico; en machos en época reproductiva, el pulgar lleva una excrecencia nupcial marrón. Las extremidades posteriores son moderadamente delgadas. La longitud de la tibia es alrededor del 54% de la longitud rostro-cloacal; la longitud de pie es de aproximadamente el 47% de la longitud rostro-cloacal. Un pequeño tubérculo por lo general (81%) está presente en el talón; una fila de tubérculos bajos es evidente en la superficie ventral del tarso. El tubérculo metatarsiano exterior es pequeño y subcónico; el tubérculo metatarsal interior es grande, elíptico y visible dorsalmente. Los dedos de los pies poseen membranas aproximadamente

  • Transformer Frog' in Ecuador 1 April 2015
    Scientists discover new 'transformer frog' in Ecuador 1 April 2015 discovery. The species, dubbed Pristimantis mutabilis, is described in the April issue of the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society. While some octopuses, an invertebrate animal, can change the color and structure of their skin, "no one had ever described a vertebrate species that changes skin texture," Guayasamin told AFP. "Reptiles that change skin color have been documented, like chameleons, but never had such dramatic changes in skin texture been seen," he said. Other frog species change the texture of their skin over the course of a season, but never had a frog been found that could transform its skin so quickly, Guayasamin and four co-authors wrote in their article. The tiny frog, dubbed Pristimantis mutabilis, which measures about two centimeters, was found in the misty They clocked the tiny green-and-brown frog's forests of the Andes mountains transformation at 330 seconds.

Accepted July 9, 2020. Published online at www.senckenberg.de/vertebrate-zoology on July 31, 2020. Published in print Q3/2020. Editor in charge: Raffael Ernst Abstract Dryaderces inframaculata Boulenger, 1882, is a rare species known only from a few specimens and localities in the southeastern Amazonia rainforest. It was originally described in the genus Hyla, after ~ 130 years transferred to Osteocephalus, and more recently to Dryaderces. These taxonomic changes were based solely on the similarity of morphological characters. Herein, we investigate the phylogenetic re­ lationships and generic placement of D. inframaculata using molecular data from a collected specimen from the middle Tapajós River region, state of Pará, Brazil. Two mitochondrial DNA fragments (16S and COI) were assessed among representative species in the sub­ family Lophiohylinae (Anura: Hylidae) to reconstruct phylogenetic trees under Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood criteria. Our results corroborate the monophyly of Dryaderces and the generic placement of D. inframaculata with high support.

The new species is most similar to Osteocephalus planiceps but differs by its smaller size (SVL 47.8–51.3 mm in males, 47.7–63.3 mm in females), absence of vocal slits, lack of sexual dimorphism in dorsal tubercles, single distal subarticular tubercle on the fourth finger, absence of dark spots on flanks, and by bicoloured iris with fine dark reticulate to radiate lines. The new species inhabits terra firme rainforest, breeds in water-filled fruit capsules of the Brazil nut tree and has oophagous tadpoles.

  • A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance
    Chapter 21 A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance Juan C. Santos , Rebecca D. Tarvin , and Lauren A. O’Connell 21.1 Introduction Chemical defense has evolved multiple times in nearly every major group of life, from snakes and insects to bacteria and plants (Mebs 2002 ). However, among land vertebrates, chemical defenses are restricted to a few monophyletic groups (i.e., clades). Most of these are amphibians and snakes, but a few rare origins (e.g., Pitohui birds) have stimulated research on acquired chemical defenses (Dumbacher et al. 1992 ). Selective pressures that lead to defense are usually associated with an organ- ism’s limited ability to escape predation or conspicuous behaviors and phenotypes that increase detectability by predators (e.g., diurnality or mating calls) (Speed and Ruxton 2005 ). Defended organisms frequently evolve warning signals to advertise their defense, a phenomenon known as aposematism (Mappes et al. 2005 ). Warning signals such as conspicuous coloration unambiguously inform predators that there will be a substantial cost if they proceed with attack or consumption of the defended prey (Mappes et al. 2005 ). However, aposematism is likely more complex than the simple pairing of signal and defense, encompassing a series of traits (i.e., the apose- matic syndrome) that alter morphology, physiology, and behavior (Mappes and J. C. Santos (*) Department of Zoology, Biodiversity Research Centre , University of British Columbia , #4200-6270 University Blvd , Vancouver , BC , Canada , V6T 1Z4 e-mail: [email protected] R. D.

Retos, procesos, construcciones, destrucciones, aprendizajes, ojalá infinitos, ojalá interminables.

A mis padres a su confianza y su amor, Tayta guerrero y caminante, Mama magia y fortaleza. Que su ejemplo ha sido la semilla que ha hecho crecer el cariño por el mundo y el entregarse a los demás.
