Organophosphate pesticides, especially chlorpyrifos, are one of the most widely used insecticides in agriculture, but their toxicity and potential sensitivity effects on Anura, Fejervarya limnocharis still unknown. The purpose this investigation is to study F. (Anura: Dicroglossidae) tadpole lethal (survivability) sublethal (morphological alterations swimming activity) chlorpyrifos Dursban 200E...

We describe a new species of the Boophis albilabris group (Anura: Mantellidae) from north-western Madagascar. Boophis tsilomaro sp. nov. is most similar to B. occidentalis from the Isalo Massif, but differs by substantial genetic differentiation, larger size, absence of a turquoise iris colour, presence of a more distinct white stripe along upper lip in life, and longer note duration and lower ...

H A P L O I D vertebrates may occur spontaneously but are very rare (Fankhauser, 1941; Humphrey & Fankhauser, 1957); however, haploids may be experimentally produced in fish (Swarup, 1959) and in mammals (Beatty, 1953), while amphibian eggs may be so treated that all developing embryos are haploid (Porter, 1939; Gurdon, 1960). The full descriptions of the development of haploid Rana pipiens (Po...

Phylogenetic reconstruction using the mitochondrial 16S marker shows that geographically separated populations of the poorly known Hyperolius cinereus (Anura: Hyperoliidae) from Angola form two distinct clades. The description of H. cinereus was originally based on only a single preserved adult male. Fresh material of both sexes allowed a detailed redescription of the species, which is restrict...

A lungworm of the genus Rhabdias (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae) was recovered from Scinax staufferi (Anura: Hylidae) collected in Guadalupe Victoria Mapastepec, Chiapas, Mexico (15°28’28”N, 92°53’26”W, 102 m). Morphology of the nematode is briefl y described and compared with other species of the genus, and mainly with parasites of hylids in the Neotropical Realm. This study represents the fi rst rec...
