Ecuadorian Glass Frogs: Current state of knowledge, new research trends and conservation

2016-06-25

Abstract excerpt

Ecuador has the biggest number of amphibian species per unit of area in the world (427 species in 276,840 km 2 ). Glass frogs (Centrolenidae), with 30 species, constitute 7.06 % of the Ecuadorian anurans. However, the current state of knowledge of this family in Ecuador is still very basic. Several species of glass frogs are currently undescribed, confused with previously described taxa, not yet reported from the...
