Abstract

Research on tadpole morphology has grown rapidly in recent decades, but many larval anurans remain unknown. We made a literature survey of all studies that describe free-swiming larvae of anuran species occurring in Brazil in order to identify major gaps and provide a searchable bibliographical source about these descriptions. We found that 61.25% of tadpoles of species with free-swiming larvae have already been described. We hope that this paper will foster future tadpole descriptions by providing easy access to the literature. (AU)
