    What Do Tadpoles Really Eat? Assessing the Trophic Status of an Understudied and Imperiled Group of Consumers in Freshwater Habitats

    Freshwater Biology (2007) 52, 386–395 doi:10.1111/j.1365-2427.2006.01694.x OPINION What do tadpoles really eat? Assessing the trophic status of an understudied and imperiled group of consumers in freshwater habitats RONALD ALTIG,* MATT R. WHILES† AND CINDY L. TAYLOR‡ *Department of Biological Sciences, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS, U.S.A. †Department of Zoology and Center for Ecology, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, U.S.A. ‡Department of Biology, Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, TN, U.S.A. SUMMARY 1. Understanding the trophic status of consumers in freshwater habitats is central to understanding their ecological roles and significance. Tadpoles are a diverse and abundant component of many freshwater habitats, yet we know relatively little about their feeding ecology and true trophic status compared with many other consumer groups. While many tadpole species are labelled herbivores or detritivores, there is surprisingly little evidence to support these trophic assignments. 2. Here we discuss shortcomings in our knowledge of the feeding ecology and trophic status of tadpoles and provide suggestions and examples of how we can more accurately quantify their trophic status and ecological significance. 3. Given the catastrophic amphibian declines that are ongoing in many regions of the planet, there is a sense of urgency regarding this information. Understanding the varied ecological roles of tadpoles will allow for more effective conservation of remaining populations, benefit captive breeding programmes, and allow for more accurate predic- tions of the ecological consequences of their losses. Keywords: amphibian, assimilation, diet, feeding behaviour, omnivory Amphibians are disappearing from the planet at an of the functional roles and trophic status of general- alarming rate (Stuart et al., 2004; Lips et al., 2005).

Reserve. 3 Costa Rica is internationally recognized as one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet in total species numbers for many taxonomic groups of flora and fauna, one of those being amphibians. Costa Rica has 190 species of amphibians known from within its tiny 51,032 square kilometers territory. With 3.72 amphibian species per 1,000 sq. km. of national territory, Costa Rica is one of the richest countries in the world regarding amphibian diversity density. Amphibians are under constant threat by contamination, deforestation, climatic change, and disease. The majority of Costa Rica’s amphibians are surrounded by mystery in regards to their basic biology and roles in the ecology. Through intense research in the natural environment and in captivity many important aspects of their biology and conservation can become better known. The Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center (C.R.A.R.C.) was established in 2002, and is a privately owned and operated conservational and biological research center dedicated to studying, understanding, and conserving one of the most ecologically important animal groups of Neotropical humid forest ecosystems, that of the amphibians.

    Notes on the Natural History of Three Glass Frogs Species (Anura: Centrolenidae) from the Andean Central Cordillera of Colombia*

Centrolene quindianum presents clutches with 33–35 eggs (N= 2) located on the Upper of leaves at heights between 40–200 cm above water; one male was observed close to three egg-masses (< 1 m of distance of them in the same perch), suggesting the possibility of parental care. The spider Patrera armata (Anyphaenidae) is reported as a predator of the embryos of this species. In N. grandisonae both calling and oviposition occurs in the upper surfaces of large leaves, especially Araceas and Heliconias. These breeding sites are guarded territories by males for periods of up to six months. Their egg-masses have an average of 74 eggs (N = 4), located at a height and a distance from the edge of creeks between 57–218 cm (X = 113.21 ± 45.73 cm, N = 14) and 0–35 cm (X = 15.8 ± 6.7 cm, N = 14), respectively; males stay close to egg masses as they continue calling to attract females. In addition, we report for first timefly larvae (Drosophylidae) as parasitoid agent foregg-masses of N.grandisonae.

However, this number is likely an underestimate due to the presence of many unexplored areas that are diffcult to access. Between 2012 and 2017, a monitoring survey of amphibians was conducted in the Central Caribbean of Costa Rica, on the northern edge of the Matama mountains in the Talamanca mountain range, to study the distribution patterns and natural history of species across this region, particularly those considered as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The results show the highest amphibian species richness among Middle America lowland evergreen forests, with a notable anuran representation of 64 species.

Abstract We present new information on the latitudinal and altitudinal distribution of five species of recently-described or poorly-known glassfrogs from eastern Ecuador. We include novel data on its body size and natural history. Information on the diversity and biogeography of the centrolenid frogs of Eastern Ecuador is discussed, finding them associated with six ve- getation formations distributed between the eastern Andean slopes and lowland Amazonia.
