The Pristimantis trachyblepharis species group, a clade of miniaturized frogs: description of four new species and insights into the evolution of body size in the genus

Daniel Zumel et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the Pristimantis trachyblepharis species group consists of nine species, with four being newly discovered. Among them, Pristimantis nanus is currently known as the smallest species in the genus and the smallest vertebrate in Ecuador. The research also investigates the evolutionary origins and implications of body-size reduction in Pristimantis.

Our unknown neighbor: A new species of rain frog of the genus Pristimantis (Amphibia: Anura: Strabomantidae) from the city of Loja, southern Ecuador

Paul Szekely et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new species of rain frog, Pristimantis lojanus sp. nov., from the city of Loja, Southern Ecuador, utilizing an integrative taxonomy approach with molecular, morphological, and bioacoustics data. The unique characteristics of the medium sized species, along with the description of its sister species Pristimantis torresi and the current situation of amphibian species in the city of Loja and its surroundings, are provided in the research.
