Rua Purus, 33, 82520-750 Curitiba, PR, Brasil Manuscript received on September 17, 2014; accepted for publication on March 2, 2015 ABSTRACT Amphibian distribution patterns are known to be influenced by habitat diversity at breeding sites. Thus, breeding sites variability and how such variability influences anuran diversity is important. Here, we examine which characteristics at breeding sites are most influential on anuran diversity in grasslands associated with Araucaria forest, southern Brazil, especially in places at risk due to anthropic activities. We evaluate the associations between habitat heterogeneity and anuran species diversity in nine body of water from September 2008 to March 2010, in 12 field campaigns in which 16 species of anurans were found. Of the seven habitat descriptors we examined, water depth, pond surface area and distance to the nearest forest fragment explained 81% of total species diversity. -

Visual communication seems to be widespread among nocturnal anurans, however, reports of these behaviors in many Neotropical species are lacking. Therefore, we gathered information collected during several sporadic field expeditions in central and southern Brazil with three nocturnal tree frogs: Aplastodiscus perviridis, Hypsiboas albopunctatus and H. bischoffi. These species displayed various aggressive behaviors, both visual and acoustic, towards other males. For A. perviridis we described arm lifting and leg kicking; for H. albopunctatus we described the advertisement and territorial calls, visual signalizations, including a previously unreported behavior (short leg kicking), and male-male combat; and for H. bischoffi we described the advertisement and fighting calls, toes and fingers trembling, leg lifting, and leg kicking. We speculate about the evolution of some behaviors and concluded that the use of visual signals among Neotropical anurans may be much more common than suggested by the current knowledge. -

Frog Diversity in the Floresta Nacional De Chapecó, Atlantic Forest of Southern Brazil

Frog diversity in the Floresta Nacional de Chapecó, Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil. Biota Neotrop., 8(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v8n3/en/abstract?article+bn00508032008. Abstract: The Atlantic Forest is considered one of the world’s biological diversity hotspots but is nevertheless increasingly threatened with the rapid destruction and fragmentation of its natural areas. In the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, remnants of the mixed ombrophilous forest and seasonal deciduous forest exist as islands within large areas of agriculture, pastures and human settlements. Here we present information on species richness and habitat use by anurans in the Floresta Nacional de Chapecó, located in the western portion of the state of Santa Catarina. Anurans were surveyed by active search of potential reproductive sites from December 1998 to December 2001. A total of 29 species were recorded, most of which have a known distribution restricted to southern Brazil and adjacent countries (Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay) and use open areas for reproduction. -

2013 Board of Governors Report
American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Board of Governors Meeting San Miguel - Albuquerque Convention Center Albuquerque, New Mexico 10 July 2013 Maureen A. Donnelly Secretary Florida International University College of Arts & Sciences 11200 SW 8th St. - ECS 450 Miami, FL 33199 [email protected] 305.348.1235 12 June 2013 The ASIH Board of Governor's is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, 10 July 2013 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in the San Miguel Room of the Albuquerque Convention Center. President Matthews plans to move blanket acceptance of all reports included in this book that cover society business for 2012 and 2013 (in part). The book includes the ballot information for the 2013 elections (Board of Governors Election and General Election held during the Annual Business Meeting). Governors can ask to have items exempted from blanket approval. These exempted items will be acted upon individually. We will also act individually on items exempted by the Executive Committee. Please remember to bring this booklet with you to the meeting. I will ship a few extra copies to New Mexico but the number will be limited by what I can cram into a USPS box. The Convention Center has free wifi throughout and the Twitter hashtag for the meeting is #JMIH13. Please contact me directly (email is best - [email protected]) with any questions you may have. Please notify me if you will not be able to attend the meeting (if you have not contacted me yet) so I can share your regrets with the Governors. I will leave for New Mexico on 9 July so try to contact me before that date if possible.
