Example of search string in box |
What that means to the database |
* = "wildcard". Allows a partial letter string to be entered and implies either no or various extension on this letter string |
Hyl* |
Will find all uses of "Hyl . . ." anywhere in a record: e.g., Hylarana, Hyla, Hylidae, Hylinae, Hylaedactyla. |
* = "wildcard". Allows a partial letter string to be entered and implies either no or various extension on this letter string |
*Hyla |
Will find all uses of ". . . hyla" anywhere in a record: e.g., Hyla, Hylidae, Plectrohyla, Ptychadena hylaea, Adenomera hylaedactyla |
|
Hyla |
Will find all records that contain stand-alone uses of Hyla: e.g., Hyla, Hyla arenicolor |
Strings of words without quotation marks |
Lithobates pipiens |
Interprets this as "Lithobates OR pipiens" so will find the union of all records that contain either "Lithobates" or "pipiens": e.g., Lithobates omiltemanus, Hylorana pipiens |
Strings of word with quotation marks |
"Lithobates pipiens" |
Interprets this as "Lithobates AND pipiens" so will return all records that have the character string "Lithobates pipiens" anywhere within a record: e.g., all members of the Lithobates pipiens complex. |
AND statement. Means that the results of the search must include both words held together by an AND |
Lithobates AND pipiens |
Same as "Lithobates pipiens" |
OR statement. Means that the results of the search will all records that have either of the terms held together by an OR |
Lithobates OR "Costa Rica" |
Recovers all records that contain the word "Lithobates" or "Costa Rica": 402 records inasmuch as this will include all records for the entire amphibian fauna of Costa Rica |
Combining Boolean operators within the Basic Search box (AND, OR, NOT, quotation marks) |
Lithobates AND "Costa Rica" NOT forreri |
Recovers only records that contain the word Lithobates AND "Costa Rica", but excludes any record that contains the word "forreri" in any part of the record: 9 records |

Southern Brazil in the Distrito Federal and states of Paraná, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Goiás, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina.
Comment
This genus is composed of the former Hyla circumdata, Hyla martinsi, and Hyla pseudopseudis groups of previous authors. Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 83-84, recognized three species groups noted in the individual accounts, the Bokermannohyla circumdata group, Bokermannohyla claresignata group, Bokermannohyla martinsi group, and Bokermannohyla pseudopseudis group. In Cophomantini of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 75. See comments by Faivovich, Lugli, Lourenço, and Haddad, 2009, Herpetologica, 65: 303-310, on various diagnostic characters of species of Bokermannohyla. Leite and Eterovick, 2010, J. Herpetol., 44: 431-440, discussed aspects of comparative morphology of larvae. Catroli, Faivovich, Haddad, and Kasahara, 2011, J. Herpetol., 45: 120-128, reported on the remarkable homogeneity of karyotypes among three species groups of Bokermannohyla and Aplastodiscus and Hypsiboas. Pinheiro, Blotto, Ron, Stanley, Garcia, Haddad, Grant, and Faivovich, 2022, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 195: 995–1021, provided an osteological synapomorphy for the Bokermannohyla martinsi group.
