Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 14(1): 117–128. https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e34841 Abstract Reproductive strategies are the combination of physiological, morphological, and behavioural traits interacting to increase species reproductive success within a set of environmental conditions. While the reproductive strategies of Leiuperinae are known, few studies have been conducted regarding the reproductive behaviour that underlies them. The aim of this study was to document the structural characteristics of nesting microsites, to describe the process of foam nest construction, and to explore the presence of male agonistic and chorus behaviour in Pleurodema tucumanum. Nests were found close to the edge of a temporary pond and the mean temperature of the foam nests was always close to the mean temperature of the pond water.

En este Editor Asociado: M. Vaira trabajo se presenta una síntesis sobre el conocimiento de la diversidad y distribución altitudinal de la fauna de anuros de las Sierras de Córdoba y San Luis. El listado de especies de anfibios de las SPC se compiló utilizando diversas fuentes de información (datos de campo, colecciones biológicas y registros bibliográficos). Utilizando esta información se caracterizó el rango de distribución altitudinal de cada especie y se analizaron las asociaciones entre la riqueza y com- posición de anfibios y el gradiente de altura de las SPC. Se registró un total de 24 especies de anfibios pertenecientes a cinco familias. Dicha fauna se distribuye de forma heterogénea en el gradiente de altura de las SPC observándose una disminución lineal de la riqueza en función de la altura y ensambles asociados a sectores altitudinales definidos.

  • Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, Departmento San Pedro
    Russian Journal of Herpetology Vol. 23, No. 1, 2016, pp. 25 – 34 RESERVA NATURAL LAGUNA BLANCA, DEPARTAMENTO SAN PEDRO: PARAGUAY’S FIRST IMPORTANT AREA FOR THE CONSERVATION OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES? Paul Smith,1,2 Karina Atkinson,2 Jean-Paul Brouard,2 Helen Pheasey2 Submitted December 30, 2014. Geographical sampling bias and restricted search methodologies have resulted in the distribution of Paraguayan reptiles and amphibians being patchily known. Available data is almost entirely based on brief collecting trips and rapid ecological inventories, often several decades apart, which inevitably struggle to detect more inconspicuous species and patterns of abundance. This has led to a deficit in our knowledge of the true distribution and abun- dance of Paraguayan reptiles and amphibians. The establishment of the NGO Para La Tierra at Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca (RNLB), Depto. San Pedro, Paraguay allowed the first modern sustained, multi-method inventory of Paraguayan reptiles and amphibians to be performed at a single site. Despite the small size of the reserve (804 ha), a total of 57 reptiles (12 of national conservation concern) and 32 amphibians (one of national conserva- tion concern) were collected during five years of random sampling, qualifying RNLB as the most biodiverse re- serve for reptiles and amphibians in the country. Six species occurring at RNLB have been found at no other Para- guayan locality. Legal protection for this private reserve expired in January 2015 and the conservation implica- tions of the inventory results are discussed. It is proposed that the long term legal protection of the reserve be con- sidered a national conservation priority and that the diversity of the herpetofauna be recognized with the designa- tion of RNLB as Paraguay’s first Important Area for the Conservation of Amphibians and Reptiles.

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.

  • DNA Barcoding for Identification of Anuran Species in the Central Region of South America
    DNA barcoding for identification of anuran species in the central region of South America Ricardo Koroiva1, Luís Reginaldo Ribeiro Rodrigues2 and Diego José Santana3 1 Departamento de Sistemática e Ecologia, Universidade Federal da Paraíba, João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil 2 Instituto de Ciências da Educacão,¸ Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará, Santarém, Pará, Brazil 3 Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil ABSTRACT The use of COI barcodes for specimen identification and species discovery has been a useful molecular approach for the study of Anura. Here, we establish a comprehensive amphibian barcode reference database in a central area of South America, in particular for specimens collected in Mato Grosso do Sul state (Brazil), and to evaluate the applicability of the COI gene for species-level identification. Both distance- and tree- based methods were applied for assessing species boundaries and the accuracy of specimen identification was evaluated. A total of 204 mitochondrial COI barcode sequences were evaluated from 22 genera and 59 species (19 newly barcoded species). Our results indicate that morphological and molecular identifications converge for most species, however, some species may present cryptic species due to high intraspecific variation, and there is a high efficiency of specimen identification. Thus, we show that COI sequencing can be used to identify anuran species present in this region.

Abstract The Rhinella margaritifera complex is characterisized by the presence of many cryptic species throughout its wide distri- bution, ranging from Panama to Bolivia and almost entire Amazonia. French Guiana has long been thought to harbor two species of this group (Rhinella margaritifera and one unnamed species), though a recent survey using molecular data indicated as many as five lineages. At least three of these lineages do not appear to interbreed despite broad sympatry and thus could be easily regarded as distinct species according to both the biological and phylogenetic species concepts. We examined morphological variation of four of these lineages, along with acoustic data to determine whether these charac- ters discriminate these goups. These analyses, combined with published data of other Rhinella species, indicated that two of these lineages represent previously unnamed species.

Somos parte de la tierra, el producto de todo lo que vino antes, y por tanto emparentados con todo lo que hoy existe. Nuestro cuerpo es testimonio de los lazos que nos unen con el planeta. Nuestra médula espinal no es más que una forma elaborada del simple conducto nervioso de un organismo marino de unos siete centímetros y aspecto de anguila, el anfioxo, que se considera la encarnación moderna del primer vertebrado. Cada uno de los huesos del cráneo humano es un reflejo de una placa ósea de un pez primitivo. En lo más profundo de nuestra carne y nuestros huesos llevamos trazas de nuestros orígenes más elementales legados de la atmósfera y los océanos primitivos: el hierro de nuestra sangre, el carbonato de calcio de nuestros huesos, el mar en miniatura dentro de cada célula, menos salado que el mar actual pero que recuerda una era en la que algún pez mutó para convertirse en reptil y se arrastró a tierra firme.

  • Predation of Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) by Amphibians
    Insects 2012, 3, 653-667; doi:10.3390/insects3030653 OPEN ACCESS insects ISSN 2075-4450 www.mdpi.com/journal/insects/ Review Predation of Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) by Amphibians John J. Sloggett Maastricht Science Programme, Maastricht University, P.O. Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 25 April 2012; in revised form: 6 July 2012 / Accepted: 6 July 2012 / Published: 18 July 2012 Abstract: Studies of predation of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae) have focused on a limited number of predator taxa, such as birds and ants, while other potential predators have received limited attention. I here consider amphibians as predators of ladybirds. Published amphibian gut analyses show that ladybirds are quite often eaten by frogs and toads (Anura), with recorded frequencies reaching up to 15% of dietary items. Salamanders (Caudata) eat ladybirds less frequently, probably as their habits less often bring them into contact with the beetles. Amphibians do not appear to be deleteriously affected by the potentially toxic alkaloids that ladybirds possess. Amphibians, especially frogs and toads, use primarily prey movement as a release cue to attack their food; it is thus likely that their ability to discriminate against ladybirds and other chemically defended prey is limited. Because of this poor discriminatory power, amphibians have apparently evolved non-specific resistance to prey defensive chemicals, including ladybird alkaloids. Although amphibian-related ladybird mortality is limited, in certain habitats it could outweigh mortality from more frequently studied predators, notably birds. The gut analyses from the herpetological literature used in this study, suggest that in studying predation of insects, entomologists should consider specialized literature on other animal groups.
