ABSTRACT The western Amazonian treefrog Dendropsophus bifurcus (Andersson, 1945) is not as widespread as previously thought. Specimens from Bolivia and southern Peru, previously assigned to that species, are distinct and differ in calls, colouration and behaviour. The new species described here can be most easily distinguished from D. bifurcus from the northwestern part of the Amazon Basin in Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru by its tibial colour pattern, and from the sympatric D. leucophyllatus by adult size and ventral colouration. Molecular data (12S and 16S rRNA) indicate that this Amazonian species is not even closely related to the Amazonian D. bifurcus, but has its closest relative, D. elegans, in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Dendropsophus bifurcus appears to be only one of various species believed to be widespread in Amazonia, but actually consisting of groups of cryptic species that may not even, as in D. bifurcus and the new species, be closely related. We also discuss the inclusion of D. anceps in the D. leucophyllatus species group.

One of the most unexpected insights that followed from the completion of the human genome a decade ago was that more than half of our DNA is derived from transposable elements (TEs). Due to advances in high throughput sequencing technologies it is now clear that TEs comprise the largest molecular class within most metazoan genomes. TEs, once categorised as "junk DNA", are now known to influence genomic structure and function by increasing the coding and non-coding genetic repertoire of the host. In this way TEs are key elements that stimulate the evolution of metazoan genomes. This review highlights several lines of TE research including the horizontal transfer of TEs through host-parasite interactions, the vertical maintenance of TEs over long periods of evolutionary time, and the direct role that TEs have played in generating morphological novelty.
