Fossils are indispensible in understanding the evolutionary origins of the modern fauna. Crown-group spadefoot toads (Anura: Pelobatoidea) are the best-known fossorial frog clade to inhabit arid environments, with species utilizing a characteristic bony
GenBank database. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to sequence, assemble and annotate the complete mitogenome ofO. pama. The assembled mitogenome was compared with that of other croakers from the same family. This comparison aimed to identify the most suitable mitochondrial DNA reg...

Dental similarities between South American condylarths and litopterns were previously noted by several authors, whom indicate that they may form a monophyletic clade4,8,16,18,20, for which the name Panameriungulata is available. Present results partially agree with such proposal, being congruent in...
Amphibian habitats are easily contaminated by several pollutants, and in agricultural landscapes the likely exposure scenario is represented by pesticides. Many of these substances are known or suspected to act as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). T
