Alsodes tumultuosus is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Farellones in central Chile. Its natural habitats are temperate grassland and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss. [1]
Alsodes is a genus of alsodid frogs found in Chile and Argentina. It is the most species-rich frog genus in Patagonia. Common name spiny-chest frogs has been coined for them.
Alsodes australis is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae found in western Argentina and eastern Chile from 46°25′S to 42°25′N. Its natural habitat is cold mountain streams of austral temperate Nothofagus forest. A potential threat to this species are introduced predatory salmonid fishes, but so far little is known about its population status.
Alsodes barrioi, the Cabreria spiny-chest frog, is a species of frog in the Alsodidae, endemic to Chile; it is only known from its type locality in the Cordillera de Nahuelbuta, Malleco Province. The specific name barrioi honors Avelino Barrio, a Spanish botanist and zoologist who lived in Argentina.
Alsodes gargola, with the common name Tonchek spiny-chest frog, is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Argentina, where it occurs in northern Patagonia.
Alsodes hugoi is a species of frogs in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile and only known from its type locality, Río Lircay, in Alto de Vilches, Talca Province, on the western slopes of the Andes. The specific name hugoi honors Professor Hugo Campos Cereceda, for his "remarkable contributions to the development of the natural sciences in Chile".
Alsodes igneus is a species of frogs in the family Alsodidae endemic to Chile; it is only known from its type locality, Tolhuaca National Park, Malleco Province, on the western slopes of the Andes. The specific name igneus, meaning "something that is of fire", was chosen to symbolize the survival of the population from a great forest fire that affected the type locality in 2000.
Alsodes kaweshkari is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. This rare species is endemic to southern Chile where it is known from two specimens, the holotype that was collected from Puerto Edén, and one paratype from Seno Huemules on the mainland.
Alsodes montanus is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae found in Chile and possibly Argentina. Its natural habitats are temperate shrubland and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Alsodes monticola is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is found in southern Chile and western Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, though its presence in Argentina is disputed. Its habitat preferences are not known, but the region of the type locality has tundra and islands of Nothofagus forest.
Alsodes nodosus is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae endemic to central Chile; records from Argentina are not considered valid.
Alsodes pehuenche is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Pehuenche Valley in the Andes of southern Mendoza Province, Argentina, and the adjacent Chile. At the time of the assessment by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2012, the species was known from six streams in an area encompassing some 9 km². A study published in 2013 extended the known range a few kilometers west and included another Chilean stream.
Alsodes valdiviensis is a species of frogs in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile and only known from its type locality, Cerro Mirador in the Cordillera Pelada, Valdivia Province. The specific name refers to this province.
Alsodes vanzolinii is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae.
Alsodes verrucosus is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is found in the Andes of Chile and Neuquén and Río Negro Provinces, Argentina. These frogs inhabit temperate Nothofagus forest where they occur under logs and near damp areas. Tadpoles develop in cold, deep streams. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging.
Alsodes vittatus is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile and only known from its type locality, San Ignacio de Pemehue, Malleco Province. It may be threatened by habitat loss through pine plantations and it is not known from any protected areas. It has not been seen since its discovery and searches in 1995, 1996 and 2002 failed to find it.
The plum-crowned parrot is a South American species of parrot from the humid Andean forests from centra Peru, to Bolivia. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the white-capped parrot. Before the split the common name of the combined taxa was "speckle-faced parrot". The two were originally described as separate species, are morphologically distinctive, and there is no evidence of intergradation, but this in itself is not remarkable, as their distributions are separated by a gap of approx. 150 km.
Alsodes norae is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae endemic to the Chilean Coast Range in the Valdivia Province, Chile. It is only known from the type series collected from a temperate Nothofagus forest. The threats are not formally known but it may be ongoing deforestation, however, the species may be protected by Oncol Park.
The white-capped parrot is a bird in the family Psittacidae formerly considered conspecific with the plum-crowned parrot. Before the split the common name of the combined taxa was "speckle-faced parrot".
