This page has some taxonomy and phylogeny resources, including some cladograms from various sources, to aid editing Amphibia articles.

Amphibian references

[edit]

Some useful taxonomy and phylogeny references.

  • Amphibia
    • Frost et al (2006) [Frost/ASW4][1]
    • Pyron & Wiens (2011)[2]
    • ASW6. Amphibian Species of the World Online 6.0[3]
    • AmbphibiaWeb[4]
  • Major groups of amphibia
    • Gymnophiona: Wilkinson and colleagues.[5][6][7]
    • Caudata (salamanders)  ?
    • Anura: Feng et al. (2017)[8] (also Zhang et al, 2013[9]).
    • Anura/Hyloidea: Streicher et al (2018)[10]
    • Anura/Ranoidea: Yuan et al (2018)[11]

Notes on superfamilies used by Feng et al (2017):

[edit]
  • Leiopelmatoidea: only needed if Ascaphidae considered a separate family from [[Leiopelmatidae. Frost et al (2006) suggest the name Amphicoela Noble, 1931 would be available if treating as two families.
  • Discoglossoidea: including Alytidae and Bombinatoridae. Not sure why the Discoglossus family group name is the superfamily and the Alytus name for the family. Frost et al (2006) use Costata Lataste, 1879.
  • Pipoidea: including Pipidae and Rhinophrynidae. This is consistent with taxonomies of Ford & Cannatella (1993) and Frost et al (2006), althought the latter prefers Xenoanura Savage 1973.
  • Pelobatoidea: including Pelobatidae, Scaphiopodidae, Megophryidae, and Pelodytidae. This is consistent with taxonomy of Ford & Cannatella (1993), although scaphiopodids were still then included within pelobatids. Frost et al (2006) prefers Anomocoela for the four family group and uses Pelobatoidea more narrowly.
  • Neobatrachia
    • Sooglossoidea: including Sooglossidae and Nasikabatrachidae
    • Hyloidea or Hyloides. Hyloides was defined by Frost at al (2006) to include Sooglossidae (including nasikabatrachids) and Australobatrachia. Subsequent authors use Hyloidea for the taxon that Frost et al (2006) called Nobleobatrachia.
      • Hyloidea (sensu stricto) of Biju and Bossuyt (2003) and Darst and Cannatella (2004) (according to Frost et al, 2006). Now general agreement on composition of Hyloidea with Heleophrynidae excluded from the earlier paraphyletic taxon.
        • Terrarana or Brachycephaloidea
        • Several newly proposed taxa: Amazorana, Neoaustrarana, and Commutabirana (Streicher et al 2018). Some have support in previous phylogenetic studies, but names are new.
      • Australobatrachia – introduced by Frost at al (2006) as a monophyletic taxon composed Batrachophrynidae Cope, 1875 (including Calyptocephalellinae Reig, 1960) and Myobatrachoidea Schlegel, 1850 (including Limnodynastidae Lynch, 1971, and Myobatrachidae Schlegel, 1850).
    • Ranoidea – general agreement on the circumscription (with Sooglossoidea excluded) since Ford & Cannatella (1993); and on three main divisions:
      • Microhylidae
      • Afrobatrachia [=epifamily Brevicipitoidae] – includes Brevicipitidae, Hemisotidae, Hyperoliidae, and Arthroleptidae. Originally described by Frost et al (2006).
      • Natatanura [=epifamily Ramoidae] – includes remaining ranoid families (~14 families). Originally described by Frost et al (2006).
        • Some recent evidence for African, Indian and cosmopolitan clades, but not named.

N.B. Zhang et al (2013)[9] have a taxonomy section where they justify the current use of Ranoidea and Hyloidea. They also argue use of some existing and well-established names: Pelobatoidea rather than Anomocoela; Leiopelmatoidea rather than Amphicoela; Pipoidea rather than Xenoanura. Unfortunately they are muddled about Discoglossoidea or Bombinatoroidea, using the first in the text and the latter in the figures.

Wilkinson group:[5][6][7]

  • Jetz & Pyron (2018) and AmphibiaWeb (2019) also follow this topology.
  • Hime et al (2021) follow the same topology without Chikila
  • Dubois et al (2021) follow the same topology, and split off Uraeotyphlusinto family Uraeotyphlidae as sister Ichthyophiidae


Caudata
*Abbreviations: Crypto. Cryptobranchoidei, Diadecto. Diadectosalamandroidei, Hydatino. Hydatinosalamandroidei, Perenni. Perennibranchia, Trepto. Treptobranchia, Pletho. Plethosalamandroidei, Xeno. Xenosalamandroidei
  • Jetz & Pyron (2018), AmphibiaWeb (2019), Dubois et al (2021) and Hime et al (2021) all follow the same topology as Pyron & Wiens (2011). While their is agreement on the relationships, there are differences is families recognised.
  • ASW6 and Dubuis-2021 don't recognise family Dicamptodontidae and include Dicamptodon within Ambystomatidae (along with Ambystoma).
  • Amphibiaweb-2019 and Dubois-2021 don't recognised families Salamandrinidae and Pleurodelidae, which are both subfamilies of Salamandridae (along with Salamandrinae).


Anura (Frost et al, 2006)

  • Frost et al (2006) differ from subsequent studies in several ways:
    • The pipoids (Xenoanura) branch off second instead of third
    • Non-family group names are used instead of the superfamilies used by others. Pelobatoidea is used more narrowly for two families.
    • Leiopelmatidae also includes Ascaphidae, which is treated as a separate family by others.


Anura (Pyron & Wiens, 2011)

Anura (Feng et al, 2017):

  • Pyron-Wiens (2011), Feng et al (2017), Jetz-Pyron-2018, AmphibiaWeb-2019, Dubois-2021 and Hime-2021 agree on the toplogy.
  • Discoglossidae is variously recognised as a family (Pyron-Wiens-2011, Dubois-2021) or included in Alytidae (Frost-2006, Feng-2017, Hime-2021; as a subfamily in Amphibiaweb-2019).
