Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

Evolutionary divergence in behavioural traits related to mating may represent the initial
stage of speciation. Direct selective forces are usually invoked to explain divergence in mate …

Aim Our aim was to investigate how the distance to water (flooding gradients) and riverine
barriers (Tapajós and Jamanxim rivers) influence the distributional patterns of amphibian …

Habitat connectivity is considered a central factor shaping ecological communities, and the
effects of waterway barriers such as natural waterfalls on fish movements are expected to …

At broad scales in the Amazon, it is often hypothesized that species distributions are limited
by geographical barriers, such as large rivers (river-barrier hypothesis). This hypothesis has …

Parental care systems are shaped by costs and benefits to each sex of investing into current
versus future progeny. Flexible compensatory parental care is mainly known in biparental …

Biogeographical history and current ecological interactions have usually been addressed
separately to explain the spatial distribution of patterns of biodiversity. In this study, we …

Aim The roles of dispersal limitation and environmental heterogeneity in structuring tropical
species composition can be better understood by accounting for dispersal barriers and …

We studied movement and site fidelity of males and females of the territorial frog Allobates
femoralis (Aromobatidae) in a population in the Nature Reserve “Les Nouragues” in French …

Phylogeographic perspectives incorporating multiple classes of characters, especially those
relating to sexual signals, are promising for the elucidation of recent evolutionary …
