| rediscovery of rhacophorus yaoshanensis and theloderma kwangsiensis at their type localities after five decades. | rhacophorus yaoshanensis liu hu, 1962 and theloderma kwangsiensis liu hu, 1962 were described by liu hu (1962) based on two specimens and one specimen, respectively, from the dayaoshan ranges, guangxi, china. since these two species were described, no additional specimens have been collected from their type localities, presenting an issue for phylogenetic studies of the genera. five decades later, we have rediscovered r. yaoshanensis and t. kwangsiensis from their type localities. in this paper, ... | 2018 | 29689961 |
| ophthalmic examination findings and intraocular pressure measurements in six species of anura. | a complete ophthalmic exam, including intraocular pressure (iop) measurement, is key to diagnosing ocular diseases such as uveitis and glaucoma in frogs. we performed complete ophthalmic anterior segment examinations and iop rebound tonometry measurements using two different settings (other "p" and canine "d") for six anuran species. the objectives were to describe common ocular abnormalities found in these species, to compare iop values between different tonometer settings, and to compare iops ... | 2020 | 31926514 |
| dna barcoding revises a misidentification on mossy frog: new record and distribution extension of theloderma corticale boulenger, 1903 (amphibia: anura: rhacophoridae). | as an endangered animal group, mossy frog (genus theloderma) has attracted the attention of biologists and wildlife conservationists. clarifying the taxonomic status and distribution of each species in theloderma is important to determine the conservation status for each species, establish appropriate conservation strategies and probe the speciation process. recently, we discovered a medium-sized species of mossy frog of the genus theloderma in april 2015 during municipal surveys of amphibians i ... | 0 | 28278693 |
