Darwin's frogs Rhinoderma darwinii and Rhinoderma rufum are the only known species of amphibians in which males brood their offspring in their vocal sacs. We propose these frogs as flagship species for the conservation of the Austral temperate forests of Chile and Argentina. This recommendation forms part of the vision of the Binational Conservatio...

Telmatobius dankoi is a species described from only one locality in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile and therefore is considered to be critically endangered. There has been no information on its biology or ecology since its original description in 1999. Here we provide information on its distribution, habitat, density, diet and threats. The hab...

Based on morphological and molecular evidence (mitochondrial and nuclear sequences) we describe a new species of spiny-chest frog, Alsodes cantillanensis, from central Chile (around 34 degrees S). The type locality, Quebrada Infiernillo, is located in the Coastal Range at approximately 65 km from Santiago (Metropolitan Region), the capital of Chile...
Senda Darwin Biological Station (SDBS) is a field research center immersed in the rural landscape of northern Chiloé island (42° S), where remnant patches of the original evergreen forests coexist with open pastures, secondary successional shrublands, Sphagnum bogs, Eucalyptus plantations and other anthropogenic cover types, constituting an agricul...

We record for the first time arboreal habits in amphibians from the temperate rainforests of southern South America. In April 2006 we collected an individual of Eupsophus calcaratus at 16 m height, in a large Eucryphia cordifolia tree of old-growth forest of Chiloé Island, southern Chile. This species was considered until now as a terrestrial speci...
NOTA First record on an amphibian in the canopy of temperate rainforests of southern South America: Eupsophus calcaratus (Cycloramphidae) Primer registro de un anfibio en el dosel del bosque templado del sur de Sudamérica: Eupsophus calcaratus (Cycloramphidae) SUMMARY We record for the first time arboreal habits in amphibians from the temperate rai...
Este es el primer registro de hábitos arbóreos en una especie de anfibio de los bosques templados del sur de Sudamérica. En abril de 2006 fue colectado un individuo de Eupsophus calcaratus a 16 m de altura, en un gran árbol de la especie Eucryphia cordifolia en bosques antiguos de la Isla de Chiloé. Hasta ahora, esta especie era considerada como un...
