Long-term studies on amphibians, especially those on population dynamics, are rare, despite being crucial for establishing effective conservation strategies. Studies in demographic dynamics allow us to understand how biotic and abiotic variables influence the survival on populations. Population size can be estimated through birth, death, migration and emigration rates that may be directly…
Usually tadpoles are classified in ecomorphological guilds based on analyses that relate their morphology and the local in the habitat where they are collected. However, morphological characters are often considered functional traits without testing their actual functions. Also, the use of microhabitats by tadpoles can be influenced by several factors, increasing complexity in classificat…
Tadpoles present large morphological diversity in the shape of the body, in the oral apparatus and in the configuration of the fins. The morphology of tadpoles may represent the position they occupy in the water column, which allowed them to be classified into ecomorphological guilds, such as benthic and nektonic tadpoles. In spite of this great diversity and of being considered organisms…
The metacommunity concept encompasses processes that occur in local and regional scale. However, the same processes may result in different metacommunity structures, so we can not infer processes studying patterns of species distributions. For this reason, the structure-based approaches have being better considered than the process-based ones. With so it is important to identify patterns …

Trait-based community assembly is mostly driven by non-random processes of species sorting: habitat filtering and niche differentiation. The theories of community assembly have focused on interspecific difference between co-occurring species, disregarding intraspecific functional variability. Tadpoles metacommunities offer an excellent system to understand the relative influence of intra-…
