A phylogenetic analysis of sequences from 503 species of hylid frogs and four outgroup taxa
resulted in 16,128 aligned sites of 19 genes. The molecular data were subjected to a …

Anurans, along with urodeles and caecilians are the extant representatives of the clade
Lissamphibia. Nowadays, lissamphibians are widely distributed in all continents, except …

Frogs (Anura) are one of the most diverse vertebrate orders, comprising more than 7,000
species with a worldwide distribution and extensive ecological diversity. In contrast to other …

The Maastrichtian intertrappean beds of Kisalpuri and Kelapur, India, have yielded new
amphibian and squamate reptile fossils that increase our knowledge of these groups. In …

Molecular dating studies typically need fossils to calibrate the analyses. Unfortunately, the
fossil record is extremely poor or presently nonexistent for many species groups, rendering …

Abstract The South American and West Indian Casque‐headed Treefrogs (Hylidae: Hylinae:
Lophyohylini) include 85 species. These are notably diverse in morphology (eg disparate …

Cenozoic ectothermic continental tetrapods (amphibians and reptiles) have not been
documented previously from Antarctica, in contrast to all other continents. Here we report a …

The Maevarano Formation in northwestern Madagascar has yielded a series of exceptional
fossils over the course of the last three decades that provide important insights into the …

The horned frog family, Ceratophryidae, currently comprises three genera and 12 extant
species, distributed from the Caribbean lowlands to the Pampean grasslands. Horned frogs …

We present new disarticulated cranial elements of the Eocene frog Thaumastosaurus from
several localities in the Phosphorites du Quercy, France, providing novel information about …
