Mario Yánez-Muñoz

Reptiles & Amphibians
Ecuador

Mario has dedicated the last ten years to studying Ecuador’s amphibians and reptiles. His contributions range from discovering new species to studies broadening our understanding of the Ecuadorean fauna, from macroecology to altitudinal diversity patterns and conservation status of threatened species. In Dureno, during his most recent inventory with The Field Museum, Mario discovered a new glass frog, a beautiful Hyalinobatrachium.

This was his first inventory with The Field Museum.
