- Nuevos datos de distribución de ranas de cristal (Amphibia: Centrolenidae) en el oriente de Ecuador, con comentarios sobre la diversidad en la región Mario H. Yánez-Muñoz Paúl Meza-Ramos H. Mauricio Ortega-Andrade J. Jairo Mueses-Cisneros Marco Reyes P Juan P. Reyes P. Juan Carlos Durán L Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Ecuador Diversity biogeography Centrolene audax Nymphargus siren We present new information on the latitudinal and altitudinal distribution of five species of recently-described or poorly-known glassfrogs from eastern Ecuador. We include novel data on its body size and natural history. Information on the diversity and biogeography of the centrolenid frogs of Eastern Ecuador is discussed, finding them associated with six vegetation formations distributed between the eastern Andean slopes and lowland Amazonia. We identify three important zones of diversity and endemism in Eastern Ecuador associated with the Napo, Pastaza, and Santiago river basins. The ecosystems of Low Montane and Foothill forests have the largest diversity and endemism of centrolenid frogs, however, 77 % are threatened. It is vital to join effort to research and preserve this particular group of the Ecuadorian fauna. 2010 artículo científico 1390-5384 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=726180823007 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7261 Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías application/pdf Universidad San Francisco de Quito Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías (Ecuador) Num.3 Vol.2
