Scarthyla Vigilans (Grass Frog)
UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology Scarthyla vigilans (Grass Frog) Family: Hylidae (Tree Frogs) Order: Anura (Frogs and Toads) Class: Amphibia (Amphibians) Fig. 1. Grass frog, Scarthyla vigilans. [http://herpetologytt.blogspot.com/2017/01/grass-frog-scarthyla-vigilans-family.html, downloaded 4 March 2017] TRAITS. Scarthyla vigilans, commonly known as the grass frog (or as ranita vigilante in Spanish) is a small frog of snout-vent length up to approximately 21mm. The snout protrudes beyond the lip margin and the tympanun (eardrum) is very noticeable, about half the diameter of the eye. The hind limbs are long and slender, the fingers are unwebbed (Fig. 1) and the toes are nearly fully webbed, with small round discs at the end (Solano, 1971). In the day it appears pale brown with broken stripes (Fig. 2), compared to plain lime green in the night. The first two toes in Scarthyla vigilans are completely webbed, which separates it from the similar brown tree frog, Scinax ruber, which has reduced or no webbing present between its first two toes (Murphy, 2017). DISTRIBUTION. S. vigilans is abundant in northern Colombia and western and northern Venezuela. This species has been found in Llanos ecosystems in both countries, east of the Andes mountains (Fig. 3), mainly below 500m a.s.l. (IUCN, 2004). Recent reports have found Scarthyla UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology vigilans in Trinidad, specifically in the south-west region between Icacos and Point Fortin (Smith et al., 2011). HABITAT AND ACTIVITY. It has been known to be a Llanos ecosystem species, regularly found sitting on plants, mostly those with numerous leaves and branches (Fig. -

Biota Neotropica. 16(1): e20150093. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2015-0093 Abstract: Despite the historical knowledge on amphibians of the Purus River basin, basic information on assemblages is fragmented, with gaps in knowledge existing at various scales, which limits conservation strategies. This study provides information on the composition, richness and abundance of the amphibian fauna in varzea environments and floating meadows of the oxbow lakes of the Middle Purus River between the Boca do Acre and Pauinı´ municipalities, Amazonas, Brazil. We sampled six oxbow lakes using forty-seven 200-meter transects, distributed among the ‘‘floating meadows,’’ ‘‘high varzea’’ and ‘‘low varzea,’’ from April to January 2014. -

FONSECA-PÉREZ¹²³ CÉSAR MOLINA¹† ZAIDA TÁRANO²⁴ ABSTRACT The coexistence of species with similar ecological requirements (food, space, time) has typically drawn attention of researchers because competition for resources is expected to be high. The diet and microhabitat occupation of two morphologically and ecologically similar species of Hylidae (Anura), Dendropsophus microcephalus and Scarthyla vigilans, were analyzed at a locality in north- western Venezuela, with the aim of addressing the potential for space and food competition between them. Diet was estimated through the analysis of stomach contents and microhabitat occupation was estimated through recordings of perch type, height and horizontal distance to water. Thirty-six prey categories (32 families, 4 orders) of arthropods were identified: 30 categories in D. microceph- alus and 21 categories in S. vigilans. The most important prey (RII) in D. microcephalus were Agelenidae (11.1%), Tachinidae (9.32%) and Lepidoptera-larvae (7.96%). Gryllidae (14.13%), Cicadidae (9.1%), Cicadellidae (8.3%) and Delphacidae (8.02%) were the most important in S. vigilans. Diet overlap was relatively low (0.32). Both species have relatively generalist diets. Both species occupied the same type of perches (leaves and stems of Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons) and heights (average: S. vigilans, 24 ± 16.2 cm; D. -
