A Solution to the Large Black Salamander Problem (Genus Bolitoglossa) in Costa Rica and Panamá
Several populations of large (adult standard length, 43–134 mm) black salamanders of the widespread neotropical genus Bolitoglossa (Plethodontidae) are known from the cordilleras of western Panamá and Costa Rica. These populations constitute at least seven species, including two recently described (B. anthracina, B. copia), one described long ago that remains poorly known (B. nigrescens), and t...
متن کاملOsteological Variation among Extreme Morphological Forms in the Mexican Salamander Genus Chiropterotriton (Amphibia: Plethodontidae): Morphological Evolution And Homoplasy
Osteological variation is recorded among and within four of the most distinctive species of the Mexican salamander genus Chiropterotriton. Analysis of the data is consistent with the monophyletic status of the genus and documents previously unrecorded intraspecific and interspecific variation. Most of the recorded variation involves qualitative and quantitative proportional differences, but fou...
متن کاملTaxonomy and distribution of the salamander genus Bolitoglossa Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854 (Amphibia, Caudata, Plethodontidae) in Brazilian Amazonia.
For nearly 40 years Bolitoglossa paraensis has been synonymized with Bolitoglossa altamazonica. This fact has been mainly related to taxonomic ambiguities arising from the morphological similarities between these species and the scarcity of material deposited in collections. However, during the past 30 years new material of Bolitoglossa has been collected in many places throughout the Brazilian...
متن کاملMorphological variation in the atlantic genus SideraStrea (anthozoa, scleractinia)
Siderastrea is a small genus of scleractinian corals, composed by zooxanthellate massive colonial forms. Besides contributing to the consolidation of the reef structure, represent a group with significant resistance to environmental stress. Until the 70’s, its taxonomy was a complicated task, limited by the difficulty in identifying morphotypes. More recently, interspecific boundaries were rede...
متن کاملTHE GENUS MEDICAGO IN IRAN: BIODIVERSITY AND VARIATION CENTERS
Biodiversity of the genus Medicago in Iran was studied. Distribution of two perennial species M. sativa and M. lupulina mainly conforms to the mountainous regions of Iran. Among the other annual species of this genus, M. rigidula has the most similar distribution to the distribution of perrenial species in mountainous regions. Most species of Medicago (apart from M. sativa and M. lupulina) are ...
