Topic: Mesobatrachia


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

Mesobatrachia is the second largest of the Anura suborders of amphibians.
The name suggests they are moderately old (compared to the prefixes archeo- "ancient" and neo- "new" of the other two suborders).
Mesobatrachia are a relatively new group, only having been identified as such in 1993.

Mesobatrachia (Node F) Ford and Cannatella (1993) applied the name Mesobatrachia to the node that is the most recent common ancestor of the living Pelobatoidea and Pipoidea.
Synapomorphies of Mesobatrachia include closure of the frontoparietal fontanelle by juxtaposition of the frontoparietal bones, partial closure of the hyoglossal sinus by the ceratohyals (=hyalia), absence of the taenia tecti medialis, and absence of the taenia tecti transversum (Cannatella, 1985; Sokol, 1981).
Mesobatrachia as proposed by Laurent (1979) was a paraphyletic group.

 Mesobatrachia | THG Lexikon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Mesobatrachia – zu Deutsch etwa „Mittlere Froschlurche“ oder „Mäßig entwickelte Froschlurche“ – ist eine phylogenetisch ältere Unterordnung aus der Ordnung Froschlurche, die wiederum zur Klasse der Lurche (Amphibien) gehört.
Die formale Abtrennung von der Unterordnung Archaeobatrachia ist allerdings ein recht neuer Vorschlag von 1993, der in vielen Übersichten noch nicht nachvollzogen wurde.
Mit 168 Arten aus sechs Familien werden nur rund drei Prozent aller Froschlurcharten zu den Mesobatrachia gerechnet.

Pipoid and pelobatoid frogs were generally considered transitional lineages, either paraphyletic with respect to Neobatrachia (Lynch, 1973; Duellman and Trueb, 1986), or forming a clade (Mesobatrachia; Laurent, 1979; Ford and Cannatella, 1993).
Intriguingly, this suggests that the last common ancestor of living frogs may have had an appearance that was very similar to those of present-day Ascaplnis and Leiopclma.
Molecular studies as well failed to reach a consensus on the phylogenetic position of pipoids and corroborated either the Mesobatrachia hypothesis (Hillis et al., 1993; Garcia-Paris et alv 2003), a sister group relationship with the Neobatrachia (Kjer, 1995; Hoegg et al., 2004), or a trichotomy with Amphicoela and Discoglossoidea (Hay et al., 1995).
