Brachycephalus are miniaturized amphibians whose body length is < 20 mm, which occur in the Atlantic Forest and range in distribution from the state of Bahia to the state of Santa Catarina. Most populations of Brachycephalus occur at 400 meters above sea level and this lower altitudinal limit induces allopatry between populations and species. A remarkable phenotypic trait of Brachycepha…
In this project we intend to carry out surveys of fauna of frogs in environments with high altitude, mainly from southeastern Brazil. The central objective is better understanding of species richness and the mechanisms of speciation. We intend to describe new species, extend geographic distributions and conduct studies of life cycles, cytogenetics, phylogeography, population genetics and …
The poecilidae fishes are excellent models for study of ecologic and evolutionary process associates with invasion and colonization of new environment. A good example is the occurrence of Poecilia vivipara populations in ponds at northern of state of Rio de Janeiro. The colonization of these ponds is probably recent due the recent geologic formation of ponds. The process of colonization (…
The genus Brachycephalus is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and currently fourteen species are described. Most species occur in isolation in the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira ranges, which suggests that the known diversity of Brachycephalus is underestimated. Currently, the species limits and the naming of new species is based on traits of external morphology and osteolog…
