Fig. 2: Taxonomic and geographic distribution of knowledge on anuran tadpoles.
Phylogenetic hypothesis after Jetz and Pyron64. Colored squares below each terminal name indicate the percentage of tadpoles described as in the scale at the bottom left, and numbers summarize the species content; labeled nodes on the tree show the clades mentioned in the text: (1) Neobatrachia, (2) Indianura, (3) Notogaeanura. The map displays percentages of species with described tadpoles per ecoregion. Note the uneven distribution of knowledge, which is concentrated in scarcely diverse families and in the Holarctic region, and scarcer in most families of Indianura and in geographic regions of the Tropical Andes and New Guinea.
