TI  - Comparative cytogenetic analysis on four tree frog species (Anura, Hylidae, 
      Hylinae) from Brazil.
PG  - 155-62
AB  - A comparative cytogenetic analysis was carried out on four Hylinae tree frogs 
      from Brazil ((Aparasphenodon brunoi, Corythomantis greeningi, Osteocephalus 
      langsdorffii, and Scinax fuscovarius) using Giemsa staining, BrdU replication 
      banding, Ag-NOR staining, C-banding, DAPI and CMA(3) fluorochrome staining, and 
      fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with an rDNA probe. All the species 
      share closely similar 2n = 24 karyotypes, almost indistinguishable by standard 
      staining. The technique of BrdU incorporation allowed the identification of each 
      pair of homologs and the establishment of extensive homeology for the great 
      majority of the chromosomes, mainly of A. brunoi, C. greeningi, and O. 
      langsdorffii. Despite highly conserved replication banding patterns, the use of 
      the other banding techniques disclosed some minor differences, which reinforces 
      the importance of extensive cytogenetic analyses for the karyotypic 
      characterization of Anuran species. The present cytogenetic data confirm the 
      closer proximity of A. brunoi, C. greeningi, and O. langsdorffii, whereas S. 
      fuscovarius is phylogenetically more distant.
