Terrestrialization, miniaturization and rates of diversification in African puddle frogs (Anura: Phrynobatrachidae).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Zimkus Breda M, Lawson Lucinda, Loader Simon P, Hanken James

Abstract excerpt

Terrestrialization, the evolution of non-aquatic oviposition, and miniaturization, the evolution of tiny adult body size, are recurring trends in amphibian evolution, but the relationships among the traits that characterize these phenomena are not well understood. Furthermore, these traits have been identified as possible "key innovations" that are predicted to increase rates of speciation in those lineages in...
