We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison.

This study provides information on the composition, richness and abundance of the amphibian fauna in varzea environments and floating meadows of the oxbow lakes of the Middle Purus River between the Boca do Acre and Pauinı´ municipalities, Amazonas, Brazil. We sampled six oxbow lakes using forty-seven 200-meter transects, distributed among the ‘‘floating meadows,’’ ‘‘high varzea’’ and ‘‘low varzea,’’ from April to January 2014.

Survey of a Neotropical anuran assemblage (Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, Peru). The Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve of Peru is one of the largest protected areas of the Amazon rainforest, yet it has hosted only a few studies of frogs and toads (anurans). The primary goals of my study are: 1) To conduct an inventory of the local anuran species, 2) to quantify richness among habitats, 3) to compare differences in beta diversity across a river versus a continuous landscape, and 4) to compare difference in body size between nocturnal and diurnal individuals. After eight weeks of daytime and nighttime surveys during the dry season, a total of 601 individuals were identified across 28 species and 6 families.

Herein, molecular, morphological, and bioacoustic evidence are combined to assess species limits within D. parviceps, a widely distributed species in the Amazon Basin. Phylogenetic relationships were assessed using 3040 bp sequences of mitochondrial DNA, genes 12S, ND1, and CO1.

  • Anurans of Amapá National Forest, Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 10: 627-633 (2017) (published online on 10 November 2017) Anurans of Amapá National Forest, Eastern Amazonia, Brazil Ronildo Alves Benício1,* and Jucivaldo Dias Lima2 Abstract. Eastern Amazonia has an elevated biological diversity and a relatively high degree of preservation. However, there are still considerable gaps in knowledge about the herpetofauna of the area. The anuran fauna of the Brazilian Amapá State is little known and the studies are scarce. Here, we present the first list of species of anurans of Amapá National Forest, Eastern Amazonia. We recorded a total of 53 species of anurans, being the inventory with the second highest number of specimens registered in Amapá State. We present the conservation status of the species and discuss species diversity in comparison to other areas. Amapá State presents a knowledge gap about its anurans with only five published inventories from localities throughout the State. Keywords: Amphibians, Conservation Unit, Conservation Status, FLONA Amapá, Guiana Shield Introduction conservation status, little is known about the diversity of amphibians of this part of Eastern Amazonia. Currently there are 7,729 species of amphibians in To date, 156 species of amphibians have been the world, and the Neotropical region is home to the recorded for Tumucumaque Mountains National Park greatest diversity of amphibians (Frost, 2017). Brazil (Amapá State), being one of the regions with elevated is the country with the greatest richness of the world’s species richness in the Guiana Shield (Lima, 2008). amphibians, with 1,080 species described to date, of Specifically, Amapá State was little studied in relation to which 60% are endemic (Segalla et al., 2016).

  • Myxosporean Parasites in Australian Frogs and Tadpoles

Mgmt) Thesis by published works This thesis is submitted in full satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney. Faculty of Veterinary Science University of Sydney March 2012 Statement of authentication This thesis is submitted to the University of Sydney in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Signed: Date: ii Abstract The investigation of new threats to amphibian conservation is a priority of researchers and wildlife managers. Emerging infectious diseases are one of the most threatening processes to wildlife around the world including amphibians. Australian frogs have suffered large scale declines and extinctions from pathogens such as chytrid fungus (Batrochochytrium dendrobatidis). The once overly abundant Green and golden bell frog (Litoria aurea) has declined over 90% of its range with disease listed as a key threat. A routine pathogen screen of tadpoles from a captive breeding population of Green and golden bell frogs found an unknown parasitic infection in the brains, bile ducts and gallbladders of tadpoles (later confirmed as Myxosporea). It was this preliminary identification that was the impetus for my thesis. Myxosporean parasites found in Australian frog gallbladders were thought to be Cystodiscus immersus from Central and South America.
