“…In regard to the male reproductive system, testes have been studied in certain anuran species (Oliveira et al, 2002;Oliveira, Sant'Anna, Munhoz de Omena, Souza Santos, Zieri, 2003;Oliveira and Zieri, 2005;Asenjo, Siu Ting, and Pino, 2011;Leite et al, 2015; among many other). Particularly, sperm morphology and ultrastructure have been used to infer taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships in Ascaphus (Jamieson, Lee, and Long, 1993), Colostethus (Veiga-Menoncello, Lima, and Recco-Pimentel, 2006), certain Hylidae species, (Lee and Jamieson, 1993), Leiopelma (Scheltinga, Jamieson, Eggers, and Green, 2001), Leptodactylinae (Salles, Zara, and Prado, 2017), Myobatrachids (Lee and Jamieson, 1993), Pleurodema (Cruz, Ferraro, Farías, Santos, Recco-Pimentel, Faivovich, and Hermida, 2016); Pseudopaludicola (dos Santos, Orlandi Introíni, Prado Veiga-Menoncello, and Recco-Pimentel, 2015), and Pseudinae (Garda, Costa, Colli, and Báo, 2004). Spermiogenesis has also been studied in association with different types of fertilisation since spermatozoon morphology is thought to be the result of evolutionary pressure from the fertilisation environment (Jamieson et al, 1993;Lee and Jamieson, 1993).…”
