Chromosome spreading of the (TTAGGG)n repeats in the Miranda-Ribeiro, 1937 (Pipidae, Anura) karyotype.

Pipidae is a clade of Anura that diverged relatively early from other frogs in the phylogeny of the group. Pipids have a unique combination of morphological features, some of which appear to represent a mix of adaptations to aquatic life and plesiomorphic characters of Anura. The present study describes the karyotype of Miranda-Ribeiro, 1937, including morphology, heterochromatin distribution, and location of the NOR site.
