Life history traits directly affect reproduction and survivorship of organisms. The complexity and interest in life history evolution are due to the fact that organisms exhibit different combinations among these trais, which in turn affect fitness. Amphibians, because the alternance, in general, between a larval aquatic phase and a terrestrial adult one, and because the strict dependence …
Parental care promotes offspring survival but entails some cost for parents. In anurans parental care is diverse, although displayed in only about 20% of species. Male egg attendance is the commonest form of care in anurans, mainly associated with egg protection from pathogens and desiccation. Although, several phylogenetic hypothesis and considerations about evolution of parental care in…
The Brazilian Cerrado is the second largest South American morphoclimatic domain and the largest savanna of the world. However, less than 10% of its area is legally protected. This formation houses about 204 species of anuran amphibians, which is currently one of the most threatened groups among vertebrates. Studies with landscape genetics - the combination of population genetics and land…

Alternative reproductive tactics refers to behaviors and other traits selected to maximize fitness in an intrasexual reproductive competition. Males compete to attract females but since it is an energetically demanding activity, in some cases individuals use strategies to offset these costs and gain access to mates. Here we will test if males of some centrolenid species adopt tactics or a…
Previous studies in fishes and anurans have evidenced that parentage within an egg clutch could influence the degree of paternal care and reproductive strategies because the cost of care for parents. Males of the glassfrog Hyalinobatrachium cappellei care their egg clutches in their territories to protect them from pathogens and desiccation. Here we are going to develop microsatellite DNA…
Landscape genetics - the combination of population genetics and landscape ecology - is an emergent field of study that focuses on the patterns and processes leading to population genetic differentiation throughout a species' geographical distribution. This project aims to study the genetic diversification in populations of Bokermannohyla ibitiguara, a stream-dwelling treefrog endemic to t…
