A Pan-Amazonian species delimitation: High species diversity within the genus Amazophrynella (Anura: Bufonidae)
Amphibians are probably the most vulnerable group to climate change and climatechange associate diseases. This ongoing biodiversity crisis makes it thus imperative to improve the taxonomy of anurans in biodiverse but understudied areas such as Amazonia. In this study, we applied robust integrative t...
