	abstract = {<p>The East African rainforests are areas of prime biogeographical importance. The significance of the amphibian fauna of the region as a biogeographical indicator group, first recognized by Schiotz (1981) is reiterated. Schiotz\&rsquo; 1981 list of East african rainforest amphibians is corrected and updated. A new species of dwarf toad [Nectophrynoides wendyae sp. nov.] from the rainforest of the Uzungwe Mountains, Tanzania is described. The new species is tentatively assigned to the genus Nectophrynoides Noble 1926, and comment on the relationships of the new species and of the Nectophrynoides-Didynamipus group is included. It is suggested that many of the African bufonid genera, especially those including dwarf forms, are currently poorly defined; primitive characters, characters involving the loss of structures and characters subject to a high level of homoplasy often being used. Some possible solutions to this problem are given. The need for a better understanding of the biology of rainforest Amphibia, especially the dwarf species, is seen to be of more immediate importance than the question of their relationships.</p>

Body length was 12 to 13 mm at the end of metamorphosis, and reached two to three times this length at sexual maturity. Hind-limb growth corresponded closely in natural and laboratory populations and served to indicate pre- and pro-metamorphic phases. Rapid increase in hind-limb length occurred only after tadpoles had reached 30 mm in total length.},

	abstract = {Evolutionary morphologists and paleontologists have long questioned whether there are general historical patterns to the distribution of morphological types. Few studies have rigorously addressed that question. This study tests the decoupling hypothesis, which predicts an increase in the number of morphological constraints with a reduction in the number of independent elements. Eight cases of historical transformation of the epicoracoid cartilages of frogs were selected for analysis. Similar morphological shape changes occurred across the independently derived historical transformations as determined by a triangle analysis of shape. These results support the decoupling hypothesis and indicate that there may be generalized historical pathways of structural change. This finding is important for the development of a predictive theory in evolutionary morphology.},
