Topographic and edaphic effects on the distribution of terrestrially reproducing anurans in Central Amazonia: mesoscale spatial patterns (2007, background): “Topography, climate and vegetation type are generally considered the most important factors determining distribution of anuran species on a macroscale (Duellman 1999).”
A large-scale phylogeny of Amphibia including over 2800 species, and a revised classification of extant frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. (2011, background): “%) described in the last 26 years (Duellman, 1999; Lannoo, 2005).”
Breeding activity patterns, reproductive modes, and habitat use by anurans (Amphibia) in a seasonal environment in the Pantanal, Brazil (2004, background): “The generalized mode 1 (sensu Duellman and Trueb, 1986), where eggs are deposited in lentic water and exotrophic tadpoles (sensu Thibaudeau and Altig, 1999) develop in water, was the most common mode, occurring in 15 species (62.5”
Amphibian population declines in montane southern Mexico: resurveys of historical localities (2004, background): “Given the high endemism and restricted ranges of many Latin American species (Campbell, 1999; Duellman, 1999; * Corresponding author.”
Phylogeny and comparative phylogeography of Sclerurus (Aves: Furnariidae) reveal constant and cryptic diversification in an old radiation of rain forest understorey specialists (2013, background): “This barrier is important for a number of unrelated taxa (e.g. Duellman, 1999; Marshall & Liebherr, 2000; Pérez-Emán, 2005).”
Verified non-indigenous amphibians and reptiles in Florida from 1863 through 2010: Outlining the invasion process and identifying invasion pathways and stages (2011, background): “The Javan File Snake, Acrochordus javanicus Hornstedt 1787, is indigenous to coastal areas from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and through Malaysia and the Greater Sunda Islands of Indonesia (Lillywhite & Ellis 1994; McDiarmid et al. 1999), although Trutnau (1986) claimed it occurs as far west as Indi”
Evolutionary history of the Paradoxurus palm civets – a new model for Asian biogeography (2010, background): “We thus suggest that this dichotomic pattern of distribution in this region may result from ecological partitioning across elevational gradients (Outlaw & Voelker, 2008; see also biogeographic ‘region 3’ in amphibians, Inger, 1999), although other factors need to be investigated.”
What Is Missing in Amphibian Decline Research: Insights from Ecological Sensitivity Analysis (2002, background): “Gathering detailed demographic data for many species in north-temperate latitudes is an achievable goal given the low species diversity (Duellman 1999) and relative wealth of many nations at these latitudes.”
Neotropical tadpoles influence stream benthos: evidence for the ecological consequences of decline in amphibian populations (2004, background): “In these regions, adult and larval amphibians can be found in many aquatic habitats including streams, ponds, wetlands, canopy epiphytes that hold water, and tree holes (Inger, Voris & Frogner, 1986; Alford, 1999; McDiarmid & Altig, 1999), and they are often the most abundant vertebrates in these sy”
Phylogenetic signals in the climatic niches of the world's amphibians (2010, background): “Madagascar harbours a rich amphibian fauna that is quite distinct from the Afrotropical fauna (Duellman 1999, Vieites et al. 2009b); therefore, we added Madagascar as a seventh region.”
The biogeographical relations of the frogs and snakes of Sundaland (2001, background): “Information on the distribution of these groups in Southeast Asia has appeared in several recent publications (How & Kitchener, 1997; Inger, 1999), but these papers do not consider the historical patterns in detail.”
Carnivory and resource‐based niche differentiation in anuran larvae: implications for food web and experimental ecology (2009, background): “However, observations of opportunistic oophagy, carnivory or necrophagy have led to recurrent questions concerning the actual sources of nutrition of tadpoles spanning over 100 years of herpetological literature (Boulenger, 1898; Savage, 1952; Wassersug, 1975; Duellman & Trueb, 1986; Petranka & Kenn”
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Freshwater paths across the ocean: molecular phylogeny of the frog Ptychadena newtoni gives insights into amphibian colonization of oceanic islands (2006, background): “A marked east–west divide of the amphibian fauna of the African Intertropical Montane Region exists whereby less than half the genera are shared (Poynton, 1999).”
A taxonomic revision of the Neotropical poison frog genus Ranitomeya (Amphibia: Dendrobatidae) (2011, background): “The Labial Tooth Row Formula (LTRF) follows Altig & McDiarmid (1999).”
Comparative phylogeography of pitvipers suggests a consensus of ancient Middle American highland biogeography (2009, background): “The Nicaraguan Depression has been identified as a major phylogeographical break for many taxa, including frogs (Savage, 1987; Duellman, 1999), salamanders (Parra-Olea et al.”
