The musculoskeletal system and natural history of Barygenys maculata (Anura, Microhylidae) a burrowing frog of New Guinea
ABSTRACT The complete skeleton and muscular systems of the burrowing microhylid frog, Barygenys maculata, are described and are compared to that of the morphologically similar burrowing African frog, Hemisus marmoratus. Based on morphological similarities it is assumed that their burrowing methods are similar though no direct observations have been made on Barygenys in life. What little is known about other aspects of the natural history of Barygenys species is also recounted.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1880, the Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to publish high quality, peer-reviewed papers of particular relevance to Australasia.
There is a particular focus on natural history topics such as: botany, zoology, geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, meteorology, geophysics, biophysics, soil science and environmental science, and environmental health. However, the journal is not restricted to these fields, with papers concerning epidemiology, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics, and the history of science and exploration also welcomed.
Submissions are welcome from all authors, and membership of the Royal Society of South Australia is not required.
The following types of manuscripts are welcome: Reviews, Original Research Papers, History of Science and Exploration, Brief Communications, Obituaries.
