evolutionary and developmental considerations of the diet and gut morphology in ceratophryid tadpoles (anura).	before metamorphosis, almost all anuran tadpoles are omnivores. larval carnivory occurs in some species and, it is associated with distinctive morphotypes. obligatory carnivorous tadpoles exhibit structural changes in the gastrointestinal tract compared to larvae that are predominately omnivores. the most distinctive feature of the anuran family ceratophyridae (three genera) overall is the enormous gape of adults. this feature increases their ability to capture extremely large and active prey. t ...	2020	32723314
what happened in the south american gran chaco? diversification of the endemic frog genus lepidobatrachus budgett, 1899 (anura: ceratophryidae).	the chaco is one the most neglected and least studied regions of the world. this highly-seasonal semiarid biome is an extensive continuous plain without any geographic barrier, and in spite of its high species diversity, the events and processes responsible have never been assessed. miocene marine introgressions and pleistocene glaciations have been mentioned as putative drivers of diversification for some groups of vertebrates in adjacent biomes of southern south america. here we used multilocu ...	2018	29476908
