Interspecific variation in the phenology of advertisement calling in a temperate Australian frog community
Spatial and temporal partitioning of resources underlies the coexistence of species with similar niches. In communities of frogs and toads, the phenology of advertisement calling provides insights into temporal partitioning of reproductive effort and its implications for community dynamics. This study assessed the phenology of advertisement calling in an anuran community from Melbourne, in sout...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of the Australian frog genera Crinia, Geocrinia, and allied taxa (Anura: Myobatrachidae).
We present a mitochondrial gene tree for representative species of all the genera in the subfamily Myobatrachinae, with special emphasis on Crinia and Geocrinia. This group has been the subject of a number of long-standing taxonomic and phylogenetic debates. Our phylogeny is based on data from approximately 780 bp of 12S rRNA and 676 bp of ND2, and resolves a number of these problems. We confir...
متن کاملDistribution and Potential Spread of Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area
Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and has been linked to the decline and extinction of amphibian species throughout the world. B. dendrobatidis was first detected in Tasmania in 2004 and subsequently found in a range of urban and rural habitats in eastern and northern parts of the State. We report on a survey of the distribu...
متن کاملA new frog species (Myobatrachidae: Uperoleia) from the Northern Deserts region of Australia, with a redescription of U. trachyderma.
The frog genus Uperoleia (Myobatrachidae) is species rich, with the greatest diversity in the northern monsoonal region of Australia. Due in part to their small body size, conservative morphology and distribution in diverse habitats, the genus is likely to harbor cryptic species. A recent study (Catullo et al. 2013) assessed region-wide genetic, acoustic and phenotypic variation within four spe...
متن کاملTerrestrial Development in the Tasmanian Frog, Bryobatrachus Nimbus (anura: Myobatrachinae): Larval Development and a Field Staging Table
The moss froglet Bryobatrachus nimbus is a recently described terrestrial and direct anuran from southwestern Tasmania. A 17-stage table based on changes in external was developed in order to calculate development rates and larval This staging demonstrated that development was not predominantly intracapsular as earlier reported. Instead, larvae hatch from the capsule two to three months after o...
