FIG. 4 in State of the Amphibia 2020: A Review of Five Years of Amphibian Research and Existing Resources

FIG. 4. Additions of amphibian species over time. (A) Geographic heat map and point cluster of new species described between 2016 and 2020. The countries with the highest numbers of new species in this time period are China (100 species), Brazil (95 species), Ecuador (67 species), Madagascar (56 species), and Peru (56 species). Inset graphs indicate the cumulative number of new species described by region between 2007 and 2020; years 2016–2020 are highlighted with the blue rectangle; y-axis scale indicated for Latin America is the same for all insets. Total cumulative number of (B) species and (C) genera in AmphibiaWeb taxonomy database, split by order. (D) Cumulative numbers of formal and unspecified (informal) species names in the GenBank Taxonomy database. Examples of unspecified names are ''Hyla cf areniCOlOr'' or ''Hyla sp. B.''
