Summary
In megadiverse regions, such as the Amazon, the identification of species generally requires specialists that are often not available. Therefore, the use of new species-recognition tools is necessary to streamline surveys and avoid errors in species identification that lead to ineffective decision-making. Near infrared spectroscopy is a quick and non-destructive tool that has been widely used in the recognition of biodiversity. In addition to being used as an indicator group, anurans have species with high morphological diversity, which make them the focus of studies and application of new tools that help in the identification and recognition at the species level. In this study, the viability of recognition of species of live Amazonian frogs under field conditions using the near infrared
