Article Synopsis
- Amazonian white-sand ecosystems feature sandy soils and high levels of unique species adapted to drought, yet little is understood about the diversity of frogs (anurans) in these areas.
- Researchers studied how vegetation structure and soil characteristics, particularly clay content and root depth, affect the diversity and distribution of frog species in these ecosystems.
- Findings revealed that areas near water bodies support more diverse frog populations, while more arid Campina landscapes restrict species presence, highlighting that environmental factors sift out certain species in these habitats.
