• Abstract

  Prof. Edmund Brodie Jr. is a well-known researcher in the field of herpetology, considered as a pioneer in the integrative study of natural history, behaviour and chemical defence in amphibians. In recent years, he began his interest in models of defensive behaviour of the South American fauna, establishing partnerships mainly with the groups of Prof. Carlos Jared, from Instituto Butantan…

• Abstract

  Caecilians (order Gymnophiona) are apodan, serpentiform amphibians, distributed in most of the tropical regions of the planet. Due to the generally fossorial habit and the low diversity of species, the caecilians constitute the least known group of tetrapods in all biological aspects. As in other amphibians, their skin has a multifunctional role, participating in several vital activities.…

• Abstract

  In order to survive in adverse environmental conditions, amphibians developed behavioral, physiological, morphological and functional adaptations that act together to reduce water loss by evaporation through the skin. Amphibian skin is characterized by the presence of glands scattered throughout the body, producing toxins mostly used in the defense against predators. Over the past 30 year…

• Abstract

  The presence of venom glands in the skin is a feature shared by all current amphibians. These glands are distributed throughout the body or grouped together in large numbers, forming macroglands, such as the parotoids, which are structures used for defense against predators mainly found in toads (Anura: Bufonidae) and salamanders (Caudata). In addition to the parotoids, some frogs display…
