“…Earlier in the Cenozoic, much of the basin was an epeiric sea in which there was a deposition of sediments from the erosion of the Andes (Oliveira, 1956). The savanna and open woodlands that now exits in southcentral Brazil were probably continuous with those in northern South America in the Pliocene and probably into the Pleistocene, as evidenced by isolated patches of this habitat throughout the eastern part of the Amazon Basin ( Ducke andBlack, 1953, andVeloso, 1947). If this was the case, the prototype of Phrynohyas must have adapted to sul^humid conditions.…”

hylids have been derived from several phyletic lines. In each case the individual lines have undergone similar types of modifications in response to similar environmental situations. These frogs, which seemingly represent a reversal in the evolutionary trend in hylids, show several unique morphological characteristics by which they are functionally adapted to specialized modes of existence, first alluded to by Cope (1865:194) in reference to Triprion petasatiis: "It is interesting that an animal living in rocky situations should present such a cranial bony development; this, in connection with its colors, no doubt, aids especially in concealment, and is another instance of the Creator's bountiful care for his humblest creatures." AcknowledgmentsThe completion of this study has been possible largely through the cooperation of museum curators and owners of private collections who have loaned, donated, or provided data for many valuable specimens. For their cooperation, I thank Mr.

“…Exceptional floods are rare, with only three registered in the last century, in 1905, 1988 and 1995. There is no information about patterns of mortality of trees in Pantanal riparian forests at these events. Studies on riparian forests of Rio Paraguai mainly deal with structure (Dubs 1994;Guarin-Neto et al 1996;Veloso 1947) or the effects of inundation on the structure and distribution of species (e.g. Adámoli & Pott 1999;Nunes da Cunha & Junk 1999;Nunes da Cunha & Junk 2001;Prado et al 1994).…”

Tree mortality in a riparian forest at Rio Paraguai, Pantanal, Brazil, after an extreme flooding

et al. 2004

A study was conducted in a riparian forest (Rio Paraguai, Brazil) to verify the vegetation mortality after an exceptional flooding in 1995. Individuals with diameter at breast height > 5 cm were sampled in 108 (10×10m) plots in 1994, and re-sampled in 1996. The total mortality rate was 4.1% per year. The mortality increased with the increasing of topographic positions, at community level, suggesting that places where the flooding is less frequent are more affected by extreme floods.
