  • Description of a New Reproductive Mode in Leptodactylus (Anura, Leptodactylidae), with a Review of the Reproductive Specialization Toward Terrestriality in the Genus
    U'/Jeia,2002(4), pp, 1128-1133 Description of a New Reproductive Mode in Leptodactylus (Anura, Leptodactylidae), with a Review of the Reproductive Specialization toward Terrestriality in the Genus CYNTHIA P. DE A. PRADO,MASAO UETANABARO,AND Ctuo F. B. HADDAD The genus Leptodactylusprovides an example among anurans in which there is an evident tendency toward terrestrial reproduction. Herein we describe a new repro- ductive mode for the frog Leptodactyluspodicipinus, a member of the "melanonotus" group. This new reproductive mode represents one of the intermediate steps from the most aquatic to the most terrestrial modes reported in the genus. Three repro- ductive modes were previously recognized for the genus Leptodactylus.However, based on our data, and on several studies on Leptodactylusspecies that have been published since the last reviews, we propose a new classification, with the addition of two modes for the genus. T HE concept of reproductive mode in am- demonstrated by species of the "fuscus" and phibians was defined by Salthe (1969) and "marmaratus" groups. Heyer (1974) placed the Sallie and Duellman (1973) as being a combi- "marmaratus" species group in the genus Aden- nation of traits that includes oviposition site, omera.Species in the "fuscus" group have foam ovum and clutch characteristics, rate and dura- nests that are placed on land in subterranean tion of development, stage and size of hatch- chambers constructed by males; exotrophic lar- ling, and type of parental care, if any. For an- vae in advanced stages are released through urans, Duellman (1985) and Duellman and floods or rain into lentic or lotic water bodies.

THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR CIRCULATION TO WORKSHOP ATTENDEES AND RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS ONLY. A FINAL DRAFT OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, INCORPORATING COMMENTS AND AMENDMENTS RECEIVED ON THIS DRAFT, WILL BE PRODUCED FOLLOWING AN ADDITIONAL WORKSHOP IN EARLY 2008. DRAFT CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE LESSER ANTILLES REGION: MINIMISING THE RISK OF SPREAD, AND MITIGATING THE EFFECTS, OF AMPHIBIAN CHYTRIDIOMYOSIS. © Arlington James Dominican mountain chicken frog (Leptodactylus fallax) with chytridiomycosis. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE DRAFT CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE LESSER ANTILLES REGION: MINIMISING THE RISK OF SPREAD, AND MITIGATING THE EFFECTS, OF AMPHIBIAN CHYTRIDIOMYOSIS WORKSHOP, 21-23 MARCH 2006. The threat of chytridiomycosis to amphibian biodiversity throughout the Caribbean region is great. The issue needs to be communicated to all groups in society, including government, scientific community, farmers, hunters and general public. The disease first emerged in the Lesser Antilles in 2002, when a fatal epidemic affecting the mountain chicken frog (Leptodactylus fallax) in Dominica was recognised. This epidemic has since decimated the mountain chicken frog population on Dominica. The mountain chicken frog is endemic to the Lesser Antilles and, following the onset of the chytridiomycosis epidemic, has been reclassified as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). There are many other amphibian species endemic to the Lesser Antilles and, although the potential effect of chytridiomycosis on these other species is unknown, the disease should be considered an imminent threat to the survival of all endemic amphibians in the Caribbean.
