Reproduction takes place during the rainy months (September–March). During courtship, females emit reciprocal calls and both sexes perform vibratory movements of the body; the latter is described for the first time in anurans. Amplexus and oviposition occurred inside subterranean chambers. The temperature in closed chambers was lower than outside chambers, which may aid in reducing desiccation risks of eggs and tadpoles. Females were larger than males, but males had longer heads and shorter tibias, which may be related to digging. The study reinforces the importance of ongoing discoveries on anuran natural history. Keywords: Chaco, natural history, sexual size dimorphism, subterranean chamber, vibratory movements INTRODUCTION 1988; Haddad & Giaretta, 1999; Haddad & Sawaya, 2000; Lucas et al., 2008; Kokubum et al., 2009). he genus Leptodactylus Fitzinger, 1826, comprises 74 Species in the L. fuscus group reproduce in sub- species distributed from southern Texas to Argentina, terranean chambers which may vary in size, shape, includingT Caribbean islands (Frost, 2015).

E-mails: [email protected] (*corresponding author); [email protected]; juniorvalerio19@gmail. com; [email protected] Abstract: Herein, we present an updated inventory and the variations of frog communities’ composition from five areas of humid Chaco and Cerrado in municipality of Porto Murtinho, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. This municipality is located in an area with three ecoregions: Chaco, Cerrado and Pantanal. Through acoustic and visual nocturnal/diurnal and pitfall evaluations from a period of over five years, we recorded 31 species in the Cerrado and 29 species in the humid Chaco. About 90% of the species were previously registered in the municipality of Porto Murtinho. A non-metric multidimensional analysis based on a presence/absence matrix revealed a separation in our sampling sites and communities with Cerrado and humid Chaco characteristics. This peculiarity in the species composition must be related to the transition zone, with the presence of mixed species characteristics of Cerrado and humid Chaco in both areas in the municipality of Porto Murtinho experiences a high degree of deforestation pressure, which threatens both the Cerrado and humid Chaco vegetation.

  • Diet and Natural History Notes of Leptodactylus Laticeps (Anura: Leptodactylidae) in the Gran Chaco of Paraguay
    Diet and natural history notes of Leptodactylus laticeps (Anura: Leptodactylidae) in the Gran Chaco of Paraguay THOMAS ZIEGLER Zusammenfassung Ernährung und Lebensweise von Leptodactylus laticeps (Anura: Leptodactylidae) im Gran Chaco Paraguays. Es werden Freilandbeobachtungen zur Lebensweise von Leptodactylus laticeps im Gran Chaco von Paraguay vorgestellt, die im Rahmen faunistischer Studien in der Regenzeit erfolgten. Neben Angaben zu Habitat, Abmessungen, Eiergröße und -zahl, liegt der Schwerpunkt dieses Artikels auf der Ernährungsökologie. Sowohl Magen-, als auch Darminhalte von 26 eröffneten subadulten (mittelgroßen) bis adulten L. laticeps aus der paraguayischen Oberen (Trockenen) und Unteren (Feuchten) Chaco-Region wurden getrennt voneinander analysiert. Insgesamt befanden sich unter den erkennbaren wirbellosen Beuteresten (in absteigender Anzahl) Termiten, Käfer (u. a. Curculionidae und Scarabaeoidea), Schaben, Tausendfüßer, Hautflügler (Ameisen und eine Wespe), Springschrecken, Spinnen (darunter eine au sgewachsene männliche Vogelspinne) und Wanzen; unter den erbeuteten Wirbeltieren befanden sich sechs Frösche (zumindest vier davon Bufo granulosus) und eine Maus. Die Ernährungsökologie der A1i wird unter besonderer Berücksichtigung vertebrater und giftiger Beutetiere diskutiert. Schlagwörter: Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leptodactylus laticeps; Paraguay: Gran Chaco; Ernäh• rung; Lebensweise. Abstract Field observations on the natural history of Leptoclactylus laticeps made during faunistic studies in the rainy season in the Gran Chaco of Paraguay are presented. Besides information on the habitat, measurements, and egg size as well as egg number, this paper focuses on feeding ecology. Stomach and gut contents of 26 dissected sub-adult (medium-sized) to adult L. laticeps from the Paraguay an Upper (Dry) and Lower (Wet) Chaco region were analyzed separately.

Using different staining techniques, we describe the cranial and poscranial elements development in two hylid species, Scinax ruber and Dendropsophus labialis, providing new data for more comprehensive ontogenetic studies in Neotropical frogs. We examined specimens from Gosner stages 25 to 45. We found differences in the infrarostral and suprarostral cartilages, optic foramen, planum ethmoidale, and the gill apparatus. In the ossification sequence, one of the first elements to ossify were the transverse process of spinal column and atlas in both species, and the parasphenoid in the skull.

Abstract: We used skeletochronology to compare age, size, reproductive parameters and growth patterns of two related, anuran amphibians from Northern Argentina: Leptodactylus bufonius (n=69) and L. latinasus (n=56), in order to better understand their coexistence in syntopy. Previous studies showed that the two species overlap in their dietary requirements and utilize the same habitats for feeding and breeding.

  • Community Structure of Helminth Parasites of Leptodactylus Bufonius
    Zoological Studies 51(8): 1454-1463 (2012) Community Structure of Helminth Parasites of Leptodactylus bufonius (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Northeastern Argentina Monika Inés Hamann*, Arturo Ignacio Kehr, and Cynthya Elizabeth González Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Centro de Ecología Aplicada del Litoral, Ruta 5 Km 2.5, W 3400 AMD, Corrientes, Argentina (Accepted September 19, 2012) Monika Inés Hamann, Arturo Ignacio Kehr, and Cynthya Elizabeth González (2012) Community structure of helminth parasites of Leptodactylus bufonius (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from northeastern Argentina. Zoological Studies 51(8): 1454-1463. The main goals of this study were to determine the richness and diversity of helminth parasites of Leptodactylus bufonius at the component and infracommunity levels and evaluate whether the composition of the parasite community is determined by biotic and abiotic factors. In total, 76 specimens were collected near the city of Corrientes, Corrientes Province, Argentina. The helminth component community in L. bufonius in this area was comprised of 16 species. The predominant groups of helminth parasites (larval and adult) were trematodes (50%) followed by nematodes (38%); other groups of parasites were represented by only 1 species (Cestoda: Cylindrotaenia sp. and Acanthocephala: Centrorhynchus sp.). Helminth species showed unequal abundances with a typical aggregated pattern of distribution. The prevalence of infection was 93% in specimens of L. bufonius examined. The main helminth species in the community was Aplectana hylambatis (importance value: I = 96.41), followed by Catadiscus inopinatus (I = 2.32). At the infracommunity level, the mean individual species richness was no more than 3 helminth species per infected host; the diversity and equitability of helminths were 0.18 ± 0.14 and 0.44 ± 0.32, respectively.

Miller Fall 2013 The Developmental Basis of Variation in Tooth and Jaw Patterning: Evolved Differences in the Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis Dentition Copyright © 2013 by Theresa Marie Grieco Abstract The Developmental Basis of Variation in Tooth and Jaw Patterning: Evolved Differences in the Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis Dentition by Theresa Marie Grieco Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Leslea Hlusko, Chair Perhaps the most evident conversion of genomic information into functional, morphological phenotypes in an animal occurs during organogenesis, and the study of vertebrate tooth development provides a phenotypically diverse system for which the mechanisms for patterning and morphogenesis have been extensively studied. An understanding of the developmental basis for evolved differences between teeth in different anatomical and phylogenetic contexts brings complementary information to our knowledge of odontogenic mechanisms. Examining difference, or variation, allows for the validation of hypothesized developmental mechanisms, identification of mechanistic flexibility that could be available to evolution or bioengineering, and the redefinition of phenotypes to better align with the natural biological variation available. This dissertation examines the development of the dentition in the frog and emerging developmental model Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis, including the first gene expression data for odontogenesis in any amphibian.

    COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY OF NEOTROPICAL FROGS ACROSS ECOLOGICAL SCALES A Dissertation by CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL SCHALK Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Lee A. Fitzgerald Committee Members, Thomas E. Lacher Amanda Stronza Kirk O. Winemiller Head of Department, Michael Masser August 2016 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2016 Christopher M. Schalk ABSTRACT Ecological communities are organized by historical, biotic, and abiotic factors and the strengths of these factors vary across multiple spatial and temporal scales. I sought to disentangle the drivers of community assembly in frogs of the Bolivian Gran Chaco. This research was conducted within the framework of Applied Biodiversity Science that incorporates collaborations with local institutions to achieve biodiversity conservation. I used functional traits to examine the relationship between species distribution in niche space and community diversity of post-metamorphic frogs. Community organization was non-random, and species-packing significantly increased with increasing community diversity, a pattern indicative of response to environmental filters. I quantified the spatiotemporal dynamics of pond food webs and observed that consumers were trophic generalists, with many species occupying more than one trophic position. Breeding ponds are patchy and ephemeral across the landscape, and being trophic generalists enables consumers to exploit various resources within a pond. I conducted an experiment to examine predator-induced plastic responses in tadpoles of an arid-adapted species, Leptodactylus bufonius, a species with terrestrial oviposition and aquatic development. Tadpoles in the predator treatments exhibited the strongest responses when exposed to both predator and conspecific alarm cues.
