Revision of the Boophis majori group (Amphibia: Mantellidae) from Madagascar, with descriptions of five new species
- Biology
- 2001
Morphological differentiation within the B. majori group is low, although some species can be distinguished by characters such as snout–vent length, relative tympanum size, or coloration, and the most reliable character for species identification are advertisement calls which are strikingly different between most species of the group.
