Freshwater resources originating here are vital for all of Suriname. (T. Larsen) Glass frogs (Hyalinobatrachium cf. taylori) lay their eggs on leaves overhanging flowing streams, and are an indicator of the high water quality of the Upper Palumeu River Watershed. (S.

Silva & Celine de Melo Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, R. Ceará s/n, CEP. 38400-902, Uberlândia - MG, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] Resumo. – Frugivoria e dispersão de sementes por soldadinho (Antilophia galeata) em matas do Cerrado brasileiro. – Antilophia galeata é uma ave frugívora da família Pipridae que tem sido registrada como uma boa dispersora de sementes de diversas espécies vegetais do Cerrado. O objetivo do tra- balho foi determinar o comportamento alimentar de A. galeata para avaliar seu potencial de dispersão de sementes em três fragmentos florestais. Foram registradas a tática de captura de frutos, o tempo gasto, o número de frutos consumidos e a espécie do fruto. Capturas com rede neblina foram usadas para coleta de material defecado. Foi registrado o consumo de 16 espécies de plantas, sendo Rubiaceae e Melastomataceae, as famílias mais representativas. As táticas de captura de fruto em vôo foram as mais frequentes, sendo que foram consumidos 3,86 ± 1,52 frutos por minuto em cada visita e em 88% dos registros, os frutos foram engolidos inteiros. No conteúdo fecal foram identificados três morfotipos de sementes. Os dados permitem afirmar que A. galeata é uma espécie importante nas interações frugívoro-planta e na dispersão de sementes. Abstract. – The Helmeted Manakin (Antilophia galeata) is a frugivorous bird of the Pipridae family and has been registered as a good seed disperser for several plants species from Cerrado.

    Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)

    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N.

    On the Uncertain Taxonomic Identity of Adenomera Hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) and the Composite Type Series of A

    Copeia 107, No. 4, 2019, 708–723 On the Uncertain Taxonomic Identity of Adenomera hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) and the Composite Type Series of A. andreae (Muller,¨ 1923) (Anura, Leptodactylidae) Thiago R. de Carvalho1, Ariovaldo A. Giaretta2, Natan M. Maciel3, Diego A. Barrera4,Cesar´ Aguilar-Puntriano4,5,Celio´ F. B. Haddad1, Marcelo N. C. Kokubum6, Marcelo Menin7, and Ariadne Angulo4,5 Adenomera andreae and A. hylaedactyla are two widespread Amazonian frogs that have been traditionally distinguished from each other by the use of different habitats, toe tip development, and more recently through advertisement calls. Yet, taxonomic identification of these species has always been challenging. Herein we undertake a review of type specimens and include new phenotypic (morphology and vocalization) and mitochondrial DNA information for an updated diagnosis of both species. Our morphological analysis indicates that the single type (holotype) of A. hylaedactyla could either belong to lineages associated with Amazonian forest-dwelling species (A. andreae clade) or to the open-formation morphotype (A. hylaedactyla clade). Given the holotype’s poor preservation, leading to the ambiguous assignment of character states for toe tip development, as well as a vague type locality encompassing a vast area in eastern Ecuador and northern Peru, the identity of this specimen is uncertain. Morphology of toe tip fragments and the original species description suggest that A. hylaedactyla could correspond to at least two described species (A. andreae or A. simonstuarti) or additional unnamed genetic lineages of the A. andreae clade, all bearing toe tips expanded into discs. Analysis of morphometric data, however, clustered the holotype with the Amazonian open-formation morphotype (toe tips unexpanded).
