Anisocoria, Braquidactilia, heterocromía ocular, metales pesados, Ribeiroia sp., deformidadResumen
Presentamos el primer registro de anomalías esqueléticas y no esqueléticas en cuatro especies de anuros recolectadas en el distrito minero abandonado de Huautla y el embalse Lorenzo Vázquez, dentro de la Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra de Huautla (estado de Morelos, México). Documentamos casos de braquidactilia en individuos de Rhinella horribilis y Lithobates spectabilis, eritrismo y heterocromía ocular en un individuo de Smilisca baudinii y anisocoria en dos individuos de Dryophytes arenicolor. Estas anomalías morfológicas se registraron en sitios previamente reportados como contaminados por residuos derivados de actividades mineras históricas.
