Projects

2018

Development of amphibians

This project is based on breeding and data collection of the larval development of tropical amphibians. We are especially working with neotropical poison frogs (Dendrobatidae, especial Epipedobates and Ranitomeya).

Unit:

Herpetology

Project lead:

PD Dr. Dennis Rödder

Funding:

Herpetofauna PNCAZ

This project is based on the acquisition of the herpetofaunal composition within the "Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul" in the western amazon basin. The main focus is the structure of amphibian communities.

Unit:
