Usually, predation the Atlantic Rain Forest domain and its influence areas, on anurans by invertebrates occurs mostly during from the municipality of Santa Teresa, state of Espírito larval and adult stages, but they also attack on anuran Santo, southern region of the states of Minas Gerais and spawns (Downie et al., 1995; Santos, 2009). Among São Paulo (Cassini et al. 2010). Ctenid spiders of the the invertebrates that may feed on anurans, there are genus Phoneutria have already been reported as anuran records of beetles, waterbugs, ants, spiders and crabs predators (Rego et al., 2005, Santana et al., 2009, Caldart (Duellman and Trueb, 1994; Toledo et al., 2005; Caldart et al., 2011, Pacheco et al., 2016), and are nocturnal with et al., 2011). Predation events, involving anurans and wandering habits, which actively seek their prey (Lucas, invertebrates, may be trivial in nature, however these 1988). According to Brazil et al.

Cyclone Enawo MADAGASCAR
Madagascar: Cyclone Enawo Situation Report No. 2 12 March 2017 This report is issued by the Bureau National de Gestion des Risques et des Catastrophes (BNGRC) and the Humanitarian Country Team in Madagascar. It covers the period from 9 to 12 March. The next report will be issued on or around 14 March 2017. Highlights • The remnants of Intense Tropical Cyclone Enawo exited Madagascar on the morning of Friday 10 March 2017. The storm traversed nearly the length of the island over two days, affecting communities from north to south across Madagascar’s eastern and central regions. • Wind damage and widespread flooding in cyclone- affected parts of the north-east, and heavy rains and widespread flooding in eastern, central and south- eastern parts of the country has been recorded. • Favourable weather conditions since 10 March have permitted national authorities and humanitarian partners to initiate rapid assessments in north- eastern, eastern and south-eastern parts of the country. • Initial humanitarian impacts in the areas of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter, Health, Food Security, Protection and Education, as well as Logistics have been identified. • Field coordination hubs are being jointly reinforced by national authorities and humanitarian partners in Maroantsetra and Antalaha. 295,950 84,660 83,100 58 Affected people Displaced people Damaged houses Affected districts Source: Bureau National de Gestion des Risques et des Catastrophes (BNGRC) de Madagascar, 12 March 2017 Situation Overview Intense Tropical Cyclone Enawo made landfall in north-eastern Madagascar’s Sava region on 7 March and then moved southward in an arc across central and south-eastern parts of the country as a tropical depression before exiting the country on the morning of 10 March. -
Congolius, a New Genus of African Reed Frog Endemic to The
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Congolius, a new genus of African reed frog endemic to the central Congo: A potential case of convergent evolution Tadeáš Nečas1,2*, Gabriel Badjedjea3, Michal Vopálenský4 & Václav Gvoždík1,5* The reed frog genus Hyperolius (Afrobatrachia, Hyperoliidae) is a speciose genus containing over 140 species of mostly small to medium-sized frogs distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. Its high level of colour polymorphism, together with in anurans relatively rare sexual dichromatism, make systematic studies more difcult. As a result, the knowledge of the diversity and taxonomy of this genus is still limited. Hyperolius robustus known only from a handful of localities in rain forests of the central Congo Basin is one of the least known species. Here, we have used molecular methods for the frst time to study the phylogenetic position of this taxon, accompanied by an analysis of phenotype based on external (morphometric) and internal (osteological) morphological characters. Our phylogenetic results undoubtedly placed H. robustus out of Hyperolius into a common clade with sympatric Cryptothylax and West African Morerella. To prevent the uncovered paraphyly, we place H. robustus into a new genus, Congolius. The review of all available data suggests that the new genus is endemic to the central Congolian lowland rain forests. The analysis of phenotype underlined morphological similarity of the new genus to some Hyperolius species. This uniformity of body shape (including cranial shape) indicates that the two genera have either retained ancestral morphology or evolved through convergent evolution under similar ecological pressures in the African rain forests. African reed frogs, Hyperoliidae Laurent, 1943, are presently encompassing almost 230 species in 17 genera. -

Amphibians from the Centro Marista São José Das Paineiras, in Mendes, and Surrounding Municipalities, State of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Herpetology Notes, volume 7: 489-499 (2014) (published online on 25 August 2014) Amphibians from the Centro Marista São José das Paineiras, in Mendes, and surrounding municipalities, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Manuella Folly¹ *, Juliana Kirchmeyer¹, Marcia dos Reis Gomes¹, Fabio Hepp², Joice Ruggeri¹, Cyro de Luna- Dias¹, Andressa M. Bezerra¹, Lucas C. Amaral¹ and Sergio P. de Carvalho-e-Silva¹ Abstract. The amphibian fauna of Brazil is one of the richest in the world, however, there is a lack of information on its diversity and distribution. More studies are necessary to increase our understanding of amphibian ecology, microhabitat choice and use, and distribution of species along an area, thereby facilitating actions for its management and conservation. Herein, we present a list of the amphibians found in one remnant area of Atlantic Forest, at Centro Marista São José das Paineiras and surroundings. Fifty-one amphibian species belonging to twenty-five genera and eleven families were recorded: Anura - Aromobatidae (one species), Brachycephalidae (six species), Bufonidae (three species), Craugastoridae (one species), Cycloramphidae (three species), Hylidae (twenty-four species), Hylodidae (two species), Leptodactylidae (six species), Microhylidae (two species), Odontophrynidae (two species); and Gymnophiona - Siphonopidae (one species). Visits to herpetological collections were responsible for 16 species of the previous list. The most abundant species recorded in the field were Crossodactylus gaudichaudii, Hypsiboas faber, and Ischnocnema parva, whereas the species Chiasmocleis lacrimae was recorded only once. Keywords: Anura, Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, Gymnophiona, Inventory, Check List. Introduction characteristics. The largest fragment of Atlantic Forest is located in the Serra do Mar mountain range, extending The Atlantic Forest extends along a great part of from the coast of São Paulo to the coast of Rio de Janeiro the Brazilian coast (Bergallo et al., 2000), formerly (Ribeiro et al., 2009). -
