Dynamics of chromosomal evolution in the genus Hypsiboas (Anura: Hylidae)

M. A. Carvalho, Rodrigues, M. T., Siqueira, S., and Garcia, C., Dynamics of chromosomal evolution in the genus Hypsiboas (Anura: Hylidae), vol. 13, pp. 7826-7838, 2014.

Hylidae is one of the most species-rich families of anurans, and 40% of representatives in this group occur in Brazil. In spite of such remarkable diversity, little is known about this family and its taxonomical and systematic features. Most hylids have 2n = 24, even though most of the cytogenetic data are mainly obtained based on the conventional chromosomal staining and are available for only 16% of Hypsiboas species, a genus accounting for about 10% of the hylid diversity.

Karyoevolution of the toadfish Thalassophryne nattereri (Batrachoidiformes: Batrachoididae)

G. W. W. F. Costa and Molina, W. F., Karyoevolution of the toadfish Thalassophryne nattereri (Batrachoidiformes: Batrachoididae), vol. 8, pp. 1099-1106, 2009.

The Batrachoididae includes some venomous brackish and marine fish found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. This family is composed of 69 species, distributed among 19 genera. Species of the genus Thalassophryne have been reported along the coast of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil); T. nattereri has been responsible for a large number of human injuries. Little is known about the cytogenetic features of this family. We made a karyotypic characterization of T.
