1 Distribution of anurans Distribution History of the anuran family groups is related with history of the land masses Distribution during Mesozoic and Cenozoic Mainly Gondwanaland d As early as Pangaea (Early Jurassic mya) Great extinction of the Permian The end of the Permian Bigger than the Cretaceous extinction Over 95% of marine species 70% of terrestrial 1

Why there is only one family of salamanders in southern hemisphere? Why the level of endemism is so high in Madagascar How you explain the presence of Hydromantis in Europe and of Criptobranchus in North America 12
