Resumen
RAMIREZ-CHAVES, Héctor E. et al. Amphibian Collection, Museo de Historia Natural of the Universidad de Caldas, Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.1, e1077. Epub 23-Ene-2023. ISSN 0124-5376. https://doi.org/10.21068/2539200x.1077.
In Colombia, amphibians are a vertebrate group with a high taxonomic richness, and an elevated representativity of species with restricted distributions. In recent years, regional collections have assisted to fill information gaps on the biogeography, intra- and interspecific variation, and systematics of the amphibians of the country. In this work we present the information of 1533 records deposited in the Amphibian Collection of the Museo de Historia Natural of the Universidad de Caldas, represented by 143 species, belonging to 49 genera and 19 families. Most of the records (n = 1194) come from the Department of Caldas, but there are records for 16 additional departments. The most representative order is Anura (n = 1487 records) followed by Caudata (n = 27 records), and Gymnophiona (n = 19 records). The collection houses 152 specimens that have been referenced in 13 national and foreign publications.
