  • Vocalisations and Reproductive Pattern of Boana Pombali (Caramaschi Et Al., 2004): a Treefrog Endemic to the Atlantic Forest
    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 1121-1131 (2019) (published online on 03 November 2019) Vocalisations and reproductive pattern of Boana pombali (Caramaschi et al., 2004): a treefrog endemic to the Atlantic Forest Marina dos S. Faraulo1,*, Caroline Garcia1 and Juliana Zina1 Abstract. Boana pombali is an endemic species of the Atlantic Forest whose biology and ecology are still little known. In the present study we aimed to describe the reproductive patterns adopted by the species and characterise the behaviours associated with reproduction, including the description of its advertisement and territorial calls. From April 2016 to March 2017 we conducted 96 nocturnal field trips in which we collected data on habitat use, abundance and behaviours in two water bodies located in the interior of the Parque Estadual Serra do Conduru, municipality of Uruçuca, State of Bahia, northeast Brazil. Males of B. pombali were observed in calling activity during the whole studied period, using the vegetation of the water bodies and surroundings as vocalisation sites. We recorded a higher number of males in the chorus during the months of higher rainfall and, consequently, formation of temporary water bodies. We registered only one female on April, when, although the water bodies were dry, there were males calling from large epiphytic bromeliads. The temporal distribution pattern as well as the behaviours presented by the species corroborate with the known for prolonged breeding species. The data presented here enhances the knowledge about the autoecology of B. pombali and on the group of B. semilineata. Keywords.

The acoustic mode of communication is important for anurans, but visual communication is beginning to be considered essential for some species, genera, and families. This study focuses on visual and acoustic signals in Boana albopunctata (Hylidae: Cophomantinae) in an attempt to increase our understanding of signaling in this nocturnal Neotropical treefrog. Visual signals were assessed to determine whether they are directed toward conspecific opponents, as has already been observed for some diurnal anurans, or associated with potential morphological asymmetries. Associations between visual and acoustic signals were explored. The results suggest that males may combine visual and acoustic signals (multimodal signaling) synergistically, thereby strengthening the efficiency of information transmission. Thus, in nocturnal anuran species, visual signals may function primarily as an alerting component and multimodal signaling may be a relevant way of communication. Keywords: alerting function, territoriality, visual signaling. Resumo Sinalização multimodal em Boana albopunctata (Anura: Hylidae): compreendendo os sinais visuais e acústicos. O modo de comunicação acústico é importante para os anuros, mas a comunicação visual está começando a ser considerada essencial para algumas espécies, gêneros e famílias.

Herpetofauna of San José del Guaviare Herpetofauna of San José del Guaviare, Guaviare, Colombia Herpetofauna de San José del Guaviare, Guaviare, Colombia Guido Fabian Medina-Rangel, Miguel Á. Méndez-Galeano and Martha Lucía Calderón-Espinosa Abstract We present the results of three years of sampling of amphibians and reptiles in different habitats in the municipality of San José del Guaviare, Guaviare, Colombia. We conducted four field excursions between 2012 and 2014 and found a total of 40 amphibian and 63 reptile species, representing a sampling coverage of 98 % for amphibians and 93 % for reptiles. Collection records and literature search increased our species list by 7 amphibians and 4 reptiles, for a total of 47 amphibians and 67 reptile species recorded for the region. Also, for the first time in Colombia, we documented the presence of the lizard Gymnophthalmus leucomystax, and confirmed the expansion of the distribution of the frog Boana maculateralis, and the snakes Atractus collaris, Atractus fuliginosus and Epictia amazonica in the department of Guaviare. Since most of the species found are from the central and western region of San José del Guaviare, sampling towards the eastern region, which has higher forest cover and less perturbed habitats, will undoubtedly increase the number of recorded species. Keywords. Amphibians. Guiana Shield. Gymnophthalmus leucomystax. Representativeness. Reptiles. Species richness.

In Chapter 1, I first summarize the conceptual background of the entire dissertation. In Chapter 2, I address the historical processes influencing body-size evolution in treefrogs by studying body-size diversification within Caribbean treefrogs (Hylidae: Osteopilus ).
