چکیده
We extend by 300 m the known upper elevational range of Marsupial frog, Gastrotheca marsupiata (Dumeril & Bibron, 1841), to 4,660 a.s.l. This record makes G. highest occurring frog in its genus, which is already characterized high-elevation distributions. suggest that this may represent a case climate-induced shifting and discuss context our still limited understanding how amphibian distributions are being affected climate change.

Cryptic species diversity in marsupial frogs (Anura: Hemiphractidae: Gastrotheca) in the Andes of northern Peru.
Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed the existence of two undescribed species of the hemiphractid genus Gastrotheca in the Andes in northern Peru. Both species are similar morphologically to Gastrotheca dysprosita and G. monticola, but they differ from these species and from one another in subtleties of coloration and minor variances in size and proportions. Gastrotheca aguaruna sp. nov. (6...
متن کاملThe expression of Brachyury (T) during gastrulation in the marsupial frog Gastrotheca riobambae.
Gastrulation in the marsupial frog Gastrotheca riobambae has been analyzed by the distribution of the Brachyury (T) protein. Comparison with other amphibians provides mechanistic insights, since G. riobambae develops slowly and has the most divergent mode of amphibian gastrulation, producing an embryonic disk. The T pattern indicates that the prospective mesoderm is superficial, as in many amph...
متن کاملThe pattern of early cleavage of the marsupial frog Gastrotheca riobambae.
Comparison of early development of the marsupial frog Gastrotheca riobambae with Xenopus laevis suggests that the cleavage pattern of Xenopus and the tight coupling of events at the midblastula transition are features of the accelerated development of small amphibian eggs with aquatic reproduction, rather than generalized features of amphibian development. The large eggs of the marsupial frog G...
متن کاملNew records about helminth parasites of the marsh frog, Rana ridibunda ridibunda (Anura: Ranidae) from the north of Iran
A field trials were conducted to assess the helminth parasites of 12 marsh frogs (Rana ridibunda ridibunda) in the Anzali, Astara and Aghbaba regions in the north of Iran in May 1994. Experimental results showed that 83.8% of the Anzali marsh frogs were infected by one or two kinds of metacercarian cysts of digenetic trematodes. The helminth parasites were included Skrjabinoeces breviansa, S. s...
