The release call is a signal produced by the frog when it is inappropriately clasped by another frog. In the family Phyllomedusidae, this call type is known only for Pithecophus ayeaye. Here we describe the release call of four species: Phyllomedusa bahiana, P. sauvagii, Pithecopus rohdei, and P. nordestinus, based on recordings in the field. The release calls of these four species consist of a multipulsed note. Smaller species of the Pithecopus genus (P. ayeaye, P. rohdei and P. nordestinus), presented shorter release calls (0.022–0.070 s), with high- er dominant frequency on average (1508.8–1651.8 Hz), when compared to the bigger Phyllomedusa (P.

Both karyotypes have 2n526 chromosomes with similar morphology, an exception being the presence of three acrocentric pairs in P. camba. In this species the Ag-NORs are found in the proximal region of pairs 1 and 5 whilst in P. rhodei an extensive inter-individual variation was observed in the number and position of the Ag- NORs (1p, 3q, 5p, 8p, 11q, and 12q). Based on comparative cytogenetic data of P. camba and P. rhodei, we discuss the phenetic groups proposed for Phyllomedusa genus.

  • Helminth Communities of Pithecopus Nordestinus (Anura: Phyllomedusidae) in Forest Remnants, Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 565-572 (2018) (published online on 29 July 2018) Helminth communities of Pithecopus nordestinus (Anura: Phyllomedusidae) in forest remnants, Brazil Priscila Almeida de Sena1,4, Breno Moura Conceição2, Paula Fonseca Silva2, Winny Gomes O Silva1, Wagner Berenguel Ferreira2, Valdemiro Amaro da Silva Júnior3, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de Moura2,4,5 and Jaqueline Bianque de Oliveira1,4,5,* Abstract. The helminth parasite communities of anurans are determined by environmental and host factors. For to describe the parasites and to investigate the host and environmental factors that can influence the composition and structure of the helminth fauna were studied 72 specimens of Pithecopus nordestinus (Caramaschi 2006) collected in two different areas in northeastern region of Brazil: Estação Ecológica do Tapacurá (EET), a remnant of Atlantic Rainforest in Pernambuco state (n=39), and Floresta Nacional do Araripe (FLONA), a remnant of Altitudinal Forest in Ceará state (n=33). Helminths of six taxa (five nematodes and one acanthocephalan) were identified, being the nematodes the most prevalent helminths (Cosmocercidae gen. sp., Cosmocerca parva, Cosmocercella phyllomedusae, Oxyascaris caudacutus and Rhabdias sp.), followed by acanthocephalans (Centrorhynchus sp.). The prevalence and the mean intensity of infection were higher in the animals from FLONA. Body size and sex of hosts did not influence the abundance of helminths, but the parasites abundance was different between the two study sites, being higher in FLONA than in EET. The two studied populations of P. nordestinus presented a higher parasite richness when compared to other studies with species from the Phyllomedusidae family, and the abundance of helminths was different between the two study areas, demonstrating that local characteristics as well as the host ecology and diet are crucial in host-parasite relationship in forested environments.

  • ABCM Specialty Taxa Husbandry Phyllomedusines (Leaf Frogs)
    ABCM Specialty Taxa Husbandry Phyllomedusines (Leaf Frogs) version 2 April 2009 Ron Gagliardo Amphibian Ark The purpose of the Specialty Taxa Monograph is to provide more information on husbandry and breeding of different taxa that may be encountered in amphibian collections. It is intended to be an addendum to the Basic Husbandry Monograph and other monographs such as Captive Reproduction, where basic principles are addressed. Some husbandry specifics are based on experience at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and others may experience different results. 1) Basic morphology and natural history Phyllomedusines (Leaf Frogs) are among the most commonly maintained and reproduced frogs in captivity. This is easy to understand when we think about the numbers of Red eyed leaf frogs that are imported, bred and distributed via the pet trade and institutions. Leaf frogs, however are much more than this flagship with the brilliant red eyes and have much more to offer than display animals with very distinctive behavioral, biochemical and reproductive features! Endemic to Central and South America, there are 57 species of phyllomedusines described to date contained in 7 genera including: Agalychnis 6 species Cruziohyla 2 species Hylomantis 8 species Pachymedusa 1 species Phasmahyla 4 species Phyrnomedusa 5 species Phyllomedusa 31 species Phyllomedusines are easily distinguished from other “tree” frogs by the presence of a vertically elliptical pupil. As the common name implies, they resemble leaves and often are quite cryptic while sleeping on the underside of a leaf. Some species such as Cruziohyla calcarifer and Phyllomedusa bicolor will rest on the tops of leaves or perched on a branch, fully exposed.

  • Phyllomedusa Bicolor: Phyllomedusidae)
    Amphibia-Reptilia 41 (2020): 349-359 brill.com/amre Hidden diversity within the broadly distributed Amazonian giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor: Phyllomedusidae) Edvaldo Pereira Mota1, Igor Luis Kaefer2, Mario da Silva Nunes1, Albertina Pimentel Lima3, Izeni Pires Farias1,∗ Abstract. Phyllomedusa bicolor is a large-sized nocturnal tree frog found in tropical rainforests throughout much of the Amazonian region of Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, and the Guianas. Very little is known about P. b i c o l o r genetic diversity and genealogical history of its natural populations. Here, using a sampling design that included populations covering most of its distributional range, we investigated the spatial distribution of genetic variability of this species, and we tested the hypothesis that P. b i c o l o r is composed of deeply structured genetic groups, constituting more than one lineage across the Brazilian Amazonia. The results suggested two main lineages in two geographic mega-regions: Western and Eastern Amazonia, the latter consisting of three population groups distributed in the Guiana and Brazilian Shields. The present findings have implications to taxonomy, to understanding the processes that lead to diversification, and to defining strategies of conservation and medicinal use of the species.

Pithecopus nordestinus is a small species of Phyllomedusidae that occurs in semi-arid zones, being the only one of the genus that occurs in Caatinga areas. In order to understand the ecological and behavioral traits responsible for the existence of the species in xeric environments we study a population of P. nordetinus of a Caatinga area in southwest Bahia, Brazil. Males of P. nordestinus used preferably the vegetation (mainly Euphorbiaceae and Poaceae) inside semi-permanent and temporary water bodies as calling sites. The dependence of aquatic environments, the arboreal habit, and reproduc- tive mode may lead to these preferences, being that choice related to the species fitness in the semiarid region. The species has elaborated courtship, including the use of visual signals, with females that inspect the oviposition site and split their clutch (spatial partition), probably spawning in more than one occasion during the reproductive season (temporal parti- tion). This set of behaviors points to a sophisticated control mechanism during egg laying and sperm release, as well as the existence of a repertoire of complex reproductive behavioral displays related to the occupation of environments with characteristics as peculiar as those of the Brazilian Northeastern semi-arid.

GRAY The Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester, England. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The presented work summarises new and existing phenotypic and phylogenetic information for the genus Cruziohyla. Data based on morphology and skin peptide profiling supports the identification of a separate new species. Specimens of Cruziohyla calcarifer (Boulenger, 1902) occurring in Ecuador, Colombia, two localities in Panama, and one in the south east Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica, distinctly differ from those occurring along the Atlantic versant of Central America from Panama northwards through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, to Honduras. A new species—Cruziohyla sylviae sp. n.—(the type locality: Alto Colorado in Costa Rica)—is diagnosed and described using an integrated approach from morphological and molecular data. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of the 16S rRNA gene confirms the new species having equal minimum 6.2% genetic divergence from both true C. calcarifer and Cruziohyla craspedopus.
