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.

  • 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.

    Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology (2018) 72:182 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-018-2597-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Local preference encoded by complex signaling: mechanisms of mate preference in the red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) Kristine Kaiser1 & Chloe Boehlke2 & Edauri Navarro-Pérez3 & Andres Vega4 & Steven Dudgeon1 & Jeanne M. Robertson1 Received: 6 June 2018 /Revised: 27 October 2018 /Accepted: 2 November 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The Central American red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) is a nocturnal/crepuscular frog that exhibits high population-level phenotypic variation in a suite of traits generally important in anuran communication. Females of this species demonstrate a preference for local over non-local males, although the contribution of different communication modes to mate choice remains untested. We performed eight setsofexperimentsatLaSelvaBiological Station (Costa Rica) to test the relative roles of male advertisement call and flank-stripe pattern on female mate choice. For each trial, we used pre-recorded calls for acoustic signals and/or 3D-printed, hand-painted models for visual stimulus. Females selected conspecifics over heterospecifics when presented with either acoustic or visual stimuli only, indicating that both evolve as species-specific signals used for mate discrimination. Bayesian modeling showed that females chose local males over non-locals based on unimodal; responses to multimodal signals varied. Female mate choice in this species is likely nuanced and subject to the constraints of the local environment in which animals are signaling. Our data show that at least two traits that vary among populations are important for mate selection. Significance statement Evolution shapes animal communication in diverse ways to accommodate complicated signaling contexts, including environ- mental noise, the presence of eavesdroppers, and changing landscapes.

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.
