Balanço hídrico e a distribuição geográfica dos anfíbios.

Abstract: IntroduçãoQuando se pensa na ocupação do ambiente terrestre pelos vertebrados, os anfíbios enfrentam um desafio hídrico particularmente pungente devido à necessidade de manutenção de uma alta permeabilidade de seu tegumento, que representa um importante órgão de troca de gases respiratórios neste grupo. A alta permeabilidade tegumentar, característica da maior parte das espécies de anfíbios, acarreta em taxas de perda de água particularmente elevadas quando comparados a outros tetrápodes, e expõe estes animais… Show more

“…When comparing typical anurans, caecilians, salamanders, and newts, a different aspect of locomotion (e.g., speed, stamina, maneuverability, power, force, among others) may be most relevant. And, as said before, for terrestrial lifeforms, hydrothermal curves (e.g., [44,47,81]) may be far more informative and accurate than thermal curves alone, whereas, for a swimming species that breed in brackish water, including larval stages, temperature and salinity might be more useful.…”
