Key words: Abstract Anura, This note is the first report of myiasis caused by Sarcophagidae flies in an anuran of Brazil, Leptodactylidae. The frog, identified asLeptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815), was Leptodactylus latrans, collected in Atlantic forest bioma, southern Brazil. The frog had extensive muscle parasitism. damage and orifices in the tegument caused by presence of 21 larvae, identified as Sarcophagidae. Ecological interactions between dipterans and anuran are poorly known. The impact of sarcophagid flies in anuran popuilations requires further study. Palabras Clave: Resumen Anura, Esta nota es el primer registro de ocurrencia de miasis generada por moscas Brasil, Sarcophagidae en anuro de la familia Leptodactylidae. El anfibio, identificado Leptodactylus latrans, como Leptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815), fue recolectado en el bioma Mata parasitismo. Atlântica, en el sur de Brasil. La rana presentaba extensas lesiones musculares y orificios en el tegumento generados por la presencia de 21 larvas, identificadas como Sarcophagidae. Las interacciones ecológicas entre insectos dípteros y anuros son poco conocidas. El impacto de las moscas Sarcophagidae en las poblaciones de anuros requiere más estudio. -
Reproductive Biology of the Endemic Toad Xanthophryne
JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2016.1200686 ‘On the rocks’: reproductive biology of the endemic toad Xanthophryne (Anura: Bufonidae) from the Western Ghats, India Nikhil Gaitondea,b, Varad Giria and Krushnamegh Kuntea aNational Centre for Biological Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, GKVK Campus, Bellary road, Bengaluru, India; bManipal University, Manipal, India ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY Xanthophryne is a toad genus endemic to the northern Western Received 21 November 2015 Ghats of India, with two extant sister species – Xanthophryne koy- Accepted 7 June 2016 nayensis and Xanthophryne tigerina. Both species are local ende- KEYWORDS mics and endangered. We studied reproductive biology of these Bet-hedging; endangered toads and found that they are specialized to the lateritic rocky species; endemic outcrops at mid-elevations in high rainfall areas. Xanthophryne amphibians; reproductive toads have sporadic, multiple spawning bouts lasting 2–4 days modes; rocky outcrops during early monsoon. In this explosive breeding behaviour, we observed male toads to engage in ‘pelvic thrusts’, a unique and novel behaviour among anurans. Females oviposit in shallow pools in depressions of lateritic boulders where their tadpoles metamorphose. These ephemeral rocky pools have limited resources and they desiccate rapidly with a break in the rains. To mitigate the stochastic risk of desiccation and subsequent large- scale egg/tadpole mortality, females may disperse their reproduc- tive investment spatially and temporally in multiple clutches, and tadpoles metamorphose rapidly. Here, we describe the amplexus, spawning and male advertisement call, and provide a comparative account of the life history traits of the two Xanthophryne species. -

The number and size of lobes is variable in Chthonerpeton indistinctum. Histologically, the testes are divided into structural units, locules separated by septa of connective tissue. Inside of each locule spermatogenesis takes place in cysts of germinal cells that divide synchronically. -

Seasonal Distribution and Circadian Activity in the Troglophile Long-Footed Robber Frog, Eleutherodactylus Longipes (Anura: Brac

DA´ VILA-MONTES1,3, MANUEL MIRANDA-ANAYA3,JUAN B. MORALES-MALACARA1,4,6, AND RICARDO PAREDES-LEO´ N5 Abstract: Los Riscos Cave belongs to the El Abra limestone and its geographical location is in the Sierra Gorda in the State of Quere´taro, Mexico. The cave has a high faunal diversity that includes arthropods and some vertebrates, such as vampire bats and anurans, and includes the robber frog Eleutherodactylus longipes (Baird, 1859). The abundance of the robber frog changes non-randomly between dry and rainy seasons and is related to the search for humid conditions inside the cave. In addition, the robber frog was located in areas where some scattered light may influence its dispersion inside the cave; and therefore, its activity. Frogs displayed spontaneous circadian rhythms of locomotor activity from the first days of the experimental observation in constant darkness. The average period of circadian rhythms was 24.85 6 0.93 h indicating, in isolated conditions, a diurnal activity. -
A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance
Chapter 21 A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance Juan C. Santos , Rebecca D. Tarvin , and Lauren A. O’Connell 21.1 Introduction Chemical defense has evolved multiple times in nearly every major group of life, from snakes and insects to bacteria and plants (Mebs 2002 ). However, among land vertebrates, chemical defenses are restricted to a few monophyletic groups (i.e., clades). Most of these are amphibians and snakes, but a few rare origins (e.g., Pitohui birds) have stimulated research on acquired chemical defenses (Dumbacher et al. 1992 ). Selective pressures that lead to defense are usually associated with an organ- ism’s limited ability to escape predation or conspicuous behaviors and phenotypes that increase detectability by predators (e.g., diurnality or mating calls) (Speed and Ruxton 2005 ). Defended organisms frequently evolve warning signals to advertise their defense, a phenomenon known as aposematism (Mappes et al. 2005 ). Warning signals such as conspicuous coloration unambiguously inform predators that there will be a substantial cost if they proceed with attack or consumption of the defended prey (Mappes et al. 2005 ). However, aposematism is likely more complex than the simple pairing of signal and defense, encompassing a series of traits (i.e., the apose- matic syndrome) that alter morphology, physiology, and behavior (Mappes and J.
