Herpetology Notes, volume 13: 573-577 (2020) (published online on 26 July 2020) Update on the geographic distribution of three poorly known frog species in the Mantiqueira mountain range Edelcio Muscat¹, Daniel Stuginski¹, Ivan Nunes², Itamar Martins³, Guilherme Augusto-Alves4,5, Stenio Eder Vittorazzi6,7, Luís Felipe Toledo4, and Matheus de Toledo Moroti1,8,* In megadiverse countries, such as Brazil, the species the most speciose mountain areas for anurans in South diversity (the Linnean shortfall), as well as their America (Silva et al., 2018). geographical distributions (the Wallacean shortfall), According to estimates, only 11-16% of the Atlantic remain poorly known for most taxa (Bini et al., 2006; Forest’s original coverage remains, composed mainly Andreone et al., 2008). There are more than 650 of small and isolated fragments (Ribeiro et al., 2009; amphibian species in the Atlantic Forest biome (LF Pompeu et al., 2018; Peixoto et al., 2020). In the Toledo, unpublished data). In the Mantiqueira mountain Monte Verde plateau of the Mantiqueira mountains, range alone, 234 species are recorded, corresponding the original vegetation was replaced by grazing land, to nearly ~37.5 % of the amphibians known for the monoculture reforestation and constructions, or has biome (Silva et al., 2018). Of these, 88 species are suffered intense logging (Golfari, 1975). This scenario endemic to this mountain range (Silva et al., 2018). The is even more worrisome as amphibians are considered high diversity and endemism make the Mantiqueira the most threatened vertebrates on the planet (Stuart et mountains a hotspot. They are also considered one of al., 2004). Factors such as fragmentation, habitat loss, climate change, diseases as chytridiomycosis, and the introduction of exotic species are the main causes of this decline (Stuart et al., 2004; Carvalho et al., 2017).

Availability of pure cultures of Bd isolates is essential for experimental studies to understand the ecology of this pathogen. We evaluated the relationships of body length of Hylodes cf. ornatus and Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles to depigmentation of mouthparts and determined if dekeratinization indicated an infection by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. A strong association existed for both species, one from South America (Brazil: São Paulo) and one from North America (USA: Maine). We believe it prudent not to kill adult amphibians if avoidable, thus obtaining tissue for isolating Bd from tadpoles is reasonable because infected specimens of some species can be selectively collected based on depigmentation of mouthparts.

    Natural History of Holoaden Luederwaldti (Amphibia: Strabomantidae: Holoadeninae) in Southeastern of Brazil

    ZOOLOGIA 27 (1): 40–46, February, 2010 Natural history of Holoaden luederwaldti (Amphibia: Strabomantidae: Holoadeninae) in southeastern of Brazil Itamar A. Martins Laboratório de Zoologia, Universidade de Taubaté. Avenida Tiradentes 500, 12030180 Taubaté, São Paulo, Brasil. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. This study reports the rediscovery of Holoaden luederwaldti Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 and provides information on the distribution, sexual dimorphism, reproduction and vocalization of a population of this species in Campos do Jordão, São Paulo (southeastern Brazil). Sampling was carried out in the Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão (PECJ) from October 2005 through December 2008. Collecting was conducted using pitfall traps with a drift-fence on different altitudinal gradients (1,540 m, 1,780 m and 2,000 m a.s.l.). Fifty-two specimens of H. luederwaldti were collected in the PECJ. The mean snout-vent length (SVL) was 36.17 mm for males and 42.61 mm for females, indicating sexual dimor- phism in body size. Holoaden luederwaldti occurred during the warm-rainy months. The population was distributed between 1500 and 2000 m, and the greater abundance was registered in well preserved forest areas. Mature females contained from 36 to 41 oocytes and the mean of oocyte diameter was 3.72 mm. The advertisement call of H. luederwaldti consists of simple notes composed of three harmonics. The record of the population of H. luederwaldti in the PECJ has reinforced the importance of investigating different areas of the forest when conducting faunal surveys. KEY WORDS.

A precipitação anual varia entre 1000 mm no norte do estado do Rio de Janeiro e 2000 mm sobre a Serra da Mantiqueira. Aproximadamente 80% da precipitação da bacia concentra-se nos meses de outubro a março, sugerindo um regime monçônico na região. A média anual da temperatura média diária varia entre 16°C no extremo sudoeste e 22°C no extremo norte da BRPS. Essa grande variação se deve a localização da BRPS na região de transição entre latitudes médias e tropicais.

Walker, Jon Bielby, Trenton W. J. Garner, George Weaver, the Bd Mapping Group, and Matthew C. Fisher Supplemental Information Taxonomic Notes Genera were assigned to families for summarization (Table 1 in main text) and analysis (Table 2 in main text) based on the most recent available comprehensive taxonomic references (Frost et al. 2006, Frost 2008, Frost 2009, Frost 2011). We chose recent family designations to explore patterns of Bd susceptibility and occurrence because these classifications were based on both genetic and morphological data, and hence may more likely yield meaningful inference. Some North American species were assigned to genus according to Crother (2008), and dendrobatid frogs were assigned to family and genus based on Grant et al. (2006). Eleutherodactylid frogs were assigned to family and genus based on Hedges et al. (2008); centrolenid frogs based on Cisneros-Heredia et al. (2007). For the eleutherodactylid frogs of Central and South America and the Caribbean, older sources count them among the Leptodactylidae, whereas Frost et al. (2006) put them in the family Brachycephalidae. More recent work (Heinicke et al. 2007) suggests that most of the genera that were once “Eleutherodactylus” (including those species currently assigned to the genera Eleutherodactylus, Craugastor, Euhyas, Phrynopus, and Pristimantis and assorted others), may belong in a separate, or even several different new families. Subsequent work (Hedges et al. 2008) has divided them among three families, the Craugastoridae, the Eleutherodactylidae, and the Strabomantidae, which were used in our classification.
