Argenteohyla Siemersi
''Nyctimantis'' is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. The genus is found in south-eastern Brazil as well as in the Orinoco, Orinoco Basin in Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. These are tree-dwelling species usually hiding in the cisterns of epiphytic bromeliads. The top of the head carries a bony plate which is fused with the skin. In 2021, based on phylogenetic evidence, the genus was redefined to include most species previously included in genera ''Aparasphenodon'' and ''Argenteohyla,'' which are now treated as Synonym (taxonomy), synonyms of ''Nyctimantis''.

Pseudis Minuta
''Pseudis minuta'' (common name: lesser swimming frog) is a species of aquatic frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in northeastern Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil, and is likely to be found in southern Paraguay. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. The snout is truncate in lateral profile. The fingers are slender. Hind limbs are relatively long and slender. Dorsal coloration is light green or brownish, usually with small dark blotches; sometimes a distinct light middorsal band is present. A light longitudinal stripe runs through most of the flank. The thighs have usually three distinct stripes. Males call mostly during the night, floating on the water surface and holding to vegetation. They may also call from leaves of water hyacinths, with body completely out of water. The call repertoire consists of an advertisement call and two different aggressive calls. Male–male agonistic interactions involve both advertisement and aggressive calls, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lists Of Biota Of Uruguay
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of '' The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help us ...

Fauna Of Uruguay
The fauna of Uruguay is a part of the wildlife of Uruguay. Overview It is characteristic of the Uruguayan savanna. Grazing mammals include the Pampas deer ''(Ozotoceros bezoarticus)'', the ray brocketor Guazuvirá deer ''( Mazama gouazoubira)'', and the capybara ''(Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)'', the world's largest living rodent. Uruguay is home to a rich avifauna, including the Southern lapwing and the magnificent black-necked swan. As a result, birdwatching has become popular in selected locations. There are several snakes, with four venomous species: the rattlesnake ''( Crotalus durissus terrificus)'', coral snake ''( Micrurus altirostris)'', yarará ''( Bothrops pubescens)'', and crossed pit viper ''( Bothrops alternatus)''. Despite the humid climate of much of the country, the vast majority of Uruguay's land is made up of savannas, so there is not much amphibian diversity. However, the Argentine horned frog, '' Ceratophrys ornata'', thrives in the savannas of central a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rococo Toad
''Rhinella diptycha'', sometimes referred to as Cope's toad, Schneider's toad, cururu toad, or rococo toad, is a toad found in northern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, eastern Bolivia, and eastern and southern Brazil. Classification It is one of three rather similar species sometimes referred to as "cururu toads" in Brazil, the others being '' R. jimi'' and '' R. marina'' (cane toad). Like those, ''R. diptycha'' is a large toad, females up to in snout–to–vent length and males up to . ''Rhinella diptycha'' is a widespread and very common species that occurs in a variety of habitats but most commonly in open and urban ones. It breeds in permanent and temporary ponds, preferring ones without much vegetation. Its natural habitats include dry savanna, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its nat ...

Rhinella Achavali
''Rhinella achavali'' is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae that is found in Uruguay and southernmost Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul Rio Grande do Sul (, ; ; "Great River of the South") is a Federative units of Brazil, state in the South Region, Brazil, southern region of Brazil. It is the Federative units of Brazil#List, fifth-most populous state and the List of Brazilian s ...). ''Rhinella achavali'' are found in or near small forest streams.

Pseudopaludicola Falcipes
''Pseudopaludicola falcipes'' (Hensel's swamp frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Pampas of northeastern Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. It shows extensive variation in patterns of dorsal coloration and in morphology. Phylogeography ''Pseudopaludicola falcipes'' shows a high level of genetic diversity but, contrary to what might expected for a small frog, no significant differentiation across its distribution range. This situation is probably possible because of the homogeneity of its habitat, the Pampean grasslands, large population sizes, and passive mechanisms of dispersal (hydrochory). Molecular data nevertheless suggest that ''Pseudopaludicola falcipes'' is divided into two populations, the larger one in Argentina and Uruguay, and the smaller one in Brazil. These populations are estimated to have separated some 1 million years ago, and become into contact again s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pleurodema Bibroni
''Pleurodema bibroni'' is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. Its common name is four-eyed frog, although this name can also refer to the genus '' Pleurodema'' in general. The common name refers to two inguinal poison glands that resemble eyes. When threatened, the frog lowers its head and raises its rear. When the frog adopts this posture the poison glands are also raised toward the predator. The predator may also confuse the frog's raised posterior for the head of a larger animal. ''Pleurodema bibroni'' is found in Uruguay and southern Brazil. Its natural habitats are coastal sand plains, open savannas, rocky outcrops, grasslands and open montane habitats between 0 and 900 meters above sea level. Breeding takes place in temporary pools. It is a rare species that occurs in widely scattered populations. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to suppor ...

Dendropsophus Nanus
''Dendropsophus nanus'', commonly known as dwarf treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in northern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, eastern Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, and Suriname. It is very common frog occurring in many habitat types and adapting well to anthropogenic disturbance. It inhabits herbaceous vegetation at the edge of standing water. Breeding takes place in temporary waterbodies. The diet of Argentinean ''Dendropsophus nanus'' was found to consist mostly of dipterans and spiders. During the cold periods, these frogs partly rely on their fat reserves, more so than sympatric '' Hypsiboas pulchellus''. References nanus Nanus may refer to: * Nanus (beetle), ''Nanus'' (beetle), a genus of true weevils * Susan Nanus, the scriptwriter for the 1998 ''A Will of their Own'' romantic drama TV mini-series aired on the NBC network * Fort Nanus in Goa, India * one of the m ...

Melanophryniscus Pachyrhynus
''Melanophryniscus pachyrhynus'' is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is known from São Lourenço do Sul in southern Brazil and from Uruguay. Populations in Uruguay were until recently considered a different species (''Melanophryniscus orejasmirandai'') and assessed as being vulnerable. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater lakes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species.
