13 We need to know the species to conservate DNA barcoding has emerged at the forefront of efforts to accelerate the rates of taxonomic discovery

14 We need to know the species to conservate DNA barcoding has emerged at the forefront of efforts to accelerate the rates of taxonomic discovery Amphibians COI DNA barcoding main problems: 1- the high variability of priming sites that hinder the application of universal primers 2- the observed distinct overlap of intraspecific and interspecific divergence values, which implies difficulties in the definition of threshold values to identify candidate species Vences et al 2005; Smith et al. 2007

15 Objectives 1- Design new primers for standard COI amplifications in Anurans 2- Preliminary analysis of inter and intraspecific diversity in anurans from Brazilian atlantic forest: COI and 16S 3- Case study in Leptodactylus ocellatus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) 4- Case study in Scinax fuscovarius (Anura: Hylidae)
