Alsodes
''Alsodes'' is a genus of alsodid frogs found in Chile and Argentina. It is the most species-rich frog genus in Patagonia. Common name spiny-chest frogs has been coined for them.Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 70 Description Characteristic for this genus is that during the reproductive season, adult males have thorny structures on the fingers and rounded spiny patches on the chest. Breeding takes place in high-elevation streams, and tadpole A tadpole is the larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian. Most tadpoles are fully aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are terrestrial.

Alsodes Pehuenche
''Alsodes pehuenche'' (common name: Pehuenche spiny-chest frog) is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Pehuenche Valley in the Andes of southern Mendoza Province, Argentina, and the adjacent Chile. At the time of the assessment by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2012 (published 2013), the species was known from six streams (five in Argentina and one in Chile) in an area encompassing some 9 km². A study published in 2013 extended the known range a few kilometers west and included another Chilean stream. Habitat ''Alsodes pehuenche'' is an aquatic frog. It is found primarily in galleries inside small permanent snowmelt streams with stony banks, covered by herbaceous vegetation; it can also be found in ponds and swamps derived from snowmelt. The altitude of its habitat is between asl. Description Males in two Chilean locations measured on average and females in snout–vent length. The body is bulky and extremities are ...

Alsodes Gargola
''Alsodes gargola'', with the common name Tonchek spiny-chest frog, is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Argentina, where it occurs in northern Patagonia. This species is a semi-aquatic frog living around alpine lakes and streams. It overwinters for 8 months of the year and the tadpoles overwinter beneath the ice and snow. The species is threatened by exotic trout Trout are species of freshwater fish belonging to the genera '' Oncorhynchus'', ''Salmo'' and ''Salvelinus'', all of the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae. The word ''trout'' is also used as part of the name of some non-salmoni ..., but the populations are probably not yet in decline. ''Alsodes gargola'' adults and tadpoles have the ability to tolerate and adapt to low conductivity water and extreme overwintering conditions indicating that it could have the highest tolerance to overwintering compared to other frogs.

Alsodes Vanzolinii
''Alsodes vanzolinii'' is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. Geographic range ''A. vanzolinii'' is endemic to the western slopes of the Nahuelbuta Range, Arauco Province, Chile. Habitat The natural habitats of ''A. vanzolinii'' are temperate forests and rivers. Conservation status ''A. vanzolinii'' is threatened by habitat loss. Alsodes vanzolinii is one of the 18 Alsodes species, 16 of which are present in Chile. Currently, they are considered a critically endangered species by the IUCN (2010) and one of the most threatened Chilean anuran species due to the habitat destruction and expanding exotic tree plantations. It is necessary to increase survey efforts of new populations and how plantation managements, like herbicides and fertilisers are affecting them. Etymology The specific name ''vanzolinii'' honors Paulo Vanzolini, a Brazilian herpetologist Herpetology (from Greek ἑρπετόν ''herpetón'', meaning "reptile" or "creeping animal") is the branch o ...
