| well known does not mean well studied: morphological and molecular support for existence of sibling species in the javanese gliding frog rhacophorus reinwardtii (amphibia, anura). | morphological, morphometrical and molecular data support the existence of two sibling species in the taxon previously known as rhacophorus reinwardtii. the two species can be distinguished by the coloration pattern of webbing, the size of adult specimens and the relative size of various morphometric characters. this long and commonly known taxon should be separated into two species. as a consequence, the conservation status of the new species rhacophorus kio n. sp. as well as of the redefined sp ... | 2006 | 16439338 |
| larval morphology and complex vocal repertoire of rhacophorus helenae (anura: rhacophoridae), a rare flying frog from vietnam. | we present new data on the distribution, reproduction, larval morphology and vocalization of rhacophorus helenae (rhacophoridae), a narrowly distributed frog from southern vietnam. two new populations of r. helenae were discovered during field surveys in the lowland monsoon forests in dong nai and ba ria-vung tau provinces in 2010-2013. spawning was observed in may 2013. egg clutches containing small (2.3±0.1 mm) unpigmented eggs were embedded in a foam nest and suspended high on trees above tem ... | 2016 | 27395638 |
