By Phoneutria Nigriventer (Aranae: Ctenidae) in Atlantic Forest, South-East of Brazil
Herpetology Notes, volume 10: 369-371 (2017) (published online on 03 July 2017) Predation on Physalaemus olfersii (Anura: Leptodactylidae) by Phoneutria nigriventer (Aranae: Ctenidae) in Atlantic Forest, South-east of Brazil Mariana Pedrozo1,*, Lucas de Souza Almeida2, Matheus de Toledo Moroti3 and Diego José Santana3 Anurans are essential in trophic chains (Duellman and mm of snout-vent length in males and 22.4–41.1 mm Trueb, 1994), and are preyed upon many vertebrates and in females (Cassini et al. 2010), and is distributed in invertebrates (Toledo et al., 2007). Usually, predation the Atlantic Rain Forest domain and its influence areas, on anurans by invertebrates occurs mostly during from the municipality of Santa Teresa, state of Espírito larval and adult stages, but they also attack on anuran Santo, southern region of the states of Minas Gerais and spawns (Downie et al., 1995; Santos, 2009). Among São Paulo (Cassini et al. 2010). Ctenid spiders of the the invertebrates that may feed on anurans, there are genus Phoneutria have already been reported as anuran records of beetles, waterbugs, ants, spiders and crabs predators (Rego et al., 2005, Santana et al., 2009, Caldart (Duellman and Trueb, 1994; Toledo et al., 2005; Caldart et al., 2011, Pacheco et al., 2016), and are nocturnal with et al., 2011). Predation events, involving anurans and wandering habits, which actively seek their prey (Lucas, invertebrates, may be trivial in nature, however these 1988). According to Brazil et al. (2009), Phoneutria records are dependent of fortuitous observations nigriventer (Keyserling, 1891) has a wide distribution, (Pombal Jr, 2007; Santana et al., 2009). -

Nematode Parasites of Anurans from the Farm of the Banco National Park (South-Eastern Côte d’Ivoire) Keywords: Parasitic Nematodes, Amphibians, Rainforest, Banco National Park, Côte d’Ivoire ABSTRACT Kary Venance OUNGBE*, Kassi Georges This study proposes to know the parasitic Nematodes of the BLAHOUA, Valentin N’DOUBA Anurans from the fish farm of the Banco National Park, south-eastern Cote d’Ivoire. Spanning a one year period Department of Biological Sciences, Laboratory of (November 2016 to October 2017), the dissection of 354 Hydrobiology, Faculty of Science and Technology, anurans specimens belonging to 23 species revealed 11 parasitic nematode taxa (Amplicaecum africanum, Anisakis University of Félix Houphoüet-Boigny, Abidjan, Côte simplex, Camallanus dimitrovi, Chabaudus leberrei, d’Ivoire.

The recorded global prevalence Accepted: 27 November 2019 (68.36%) shows a high parasitic infestation of nematodes in anurans. This infestation is influenced by the microhabitats Published: 30 December 2019 and parasitic specificity of the Nematodes. Most of the Nematodes harvested in the small intestine have a broad spectrum infestation. They parasitize several species of different families. They therefore have a broad or euryxene specificity. The prevalence of the Anurans is higher in the rainy season than in the dry season. The presence of water in www.ijsrm.humanjournals.com the environments creates favorable conditions for the development of the Anurans. Thus, the increase in the number of host species causes an increase in the number of parasitic Helminth species. -

Anuran amphibians in state of Paraná, southern Brazil. Biota Neotropica. 18(3): e20170322. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2017-0322 Abstract: The state of Paraná, located in southern Brazil, was originally covered almost entirely by the Atlantic Forest biome, with some areas of Cerrado savanna. In the present day, little of this natural vegetation remains, mostly remnants of Atlantic Forest located in the coastal zone. While some data are available on the anurans of the state of Paraná, no complete list has yet been published, which may hamper the understanding of its potential anuran diversity and limit the development of adequate conservation measures. To rectify this situation, we elaborated a list of the anuran species that occur in state of Paraná, based on records obtained from published sources. We recorded a total of 137 anuran species, distributed in 13 families. Nineteen of these species are endemic to the state of Paraná and five are included in the red lists of the state of Paraná, Brazil and/or the IUCN. -
Spiders Systematically Trap Amphibians in North-Eastern
Spiders systematically trap amphibians in north-eastern Madagascar Thio Fulgence1, Dominic Martin2, Holger Kreft2, Fanomezana Ratsoavina3, and Aristide Andrianarimisa2 1University of Antananarivo 2Affiliation not available 3Universit´ed'Antananarivo May 11, 2020 Abstract Predation can take unexpected turns. For instance, various invertebrate species - most commonly spiders - may prey on tetrapods. Here, we report observations of spiders (Sparassidae, Olios sp.) preying on amphibians (Hyperoliidae, Heterixalus andrakata) in north-eastern Madagascar. To do so, the spiders built highly-specialized traps by weaving two leaves together. Four cases by different individuals of the same species show that spiders hide at the rear end of the trap. One case reports the feeding on a small frog caught inside the trap. Previous reports on amphibian predation by spiders describe opportunistic and indiscriminate predation behaviour by generalist ground-dwelling or aquatic spiders. The only more targeted cases concern large orb-weaver spiders building large webs that may serve as an effective trap for small vertebrates, but those only make up a small percentage of prey compared to insects. In contrast, the novel traps type reported here seems to be solely targeted at catching amphibians seeking shelter during the daytime. We thus report systematic trapping of amphibian by spiders, a newly recorded behaviour. Introduction Finding food is an important component of the animal behavior, encompassing on average more than 50% of their lifetime activity budget (Fennessy 2004). Predation is an important technique to acquire food (Kie 1999; Bertram 1979), and occurs between many different taxa, such as vertebrates preying on other vertebrates, for example a bird preying on a gecko (Koski and Mer¸con2015; Lopes et al. -

Ecomorphological Guilds in Anuran Larvae: an Application of Geometric Morphometric Methods
HERPETOLOGICAL JOURNAL, Vol. 16, pp. 149-162 (2006) ECOMORPHOLOGICAL GUILDS IN ANURAN LARVAE: AN APPLICATION OF GEOMETRIC MORPHOMETRIC METHODS M. FLORENCIA VERA CANDIOTI Instituto de Herpetología, Fundación Miguel Lillo, Miguel Lillo 251, 4000 San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina Ecomorphological guilds for anuran larvae are based on developmental modes, external morphology and habitat. Furthermore, several authors have investigated relationships between internal morphology and ecological habits. However, the relationships between internal morphology and tadpole ecological habits are not well established. In the present paper the quantitative methodology of geometric morphometrics is applied to look for correlation between the anatomy hyobranchial skeleton and the ecology of anuran larvae. Tadpoles of 14 species belonging to six different ecomorphological guilds were studied. The specimens were cleared and stained, and the hyobranchial apparatuses removed and drawn in ventral view. To record the shape variation, landmark-based geometric morphometric methodology was applied, involving a Relative Warp Analysis followed by multivariate statistics. Results show that species classify into four significantly different groups, according to their hyobranchial apparatus shape. Macrophagous tadpoles have well-developed ceratohyals and hypobranchial plate developed, and branchial baskets highly reduced. Generalized tadpoles have a large ceratobranchial area, with the hypobranchial plate covering a smaller area. Microphagous tadpoles have a very developed and complex branchial basket, and their hypobranchial plates are strongly reduced. Megalophagous tadpoles have the ceratohyals laterally expanded. These four groups are in general maintained after the inclusion of more species from the literature. Morphological groups can be related to size of food particles consumed, from very large in megalophages and macrophages, to very small, in highly efficient microphages.
