Chromosome evolution in three Brazilian Leptodactylus species (Anura, Leptodactylidae), with phylogenetic considerations. * Hereditas 0146: 104Á111. Lund, Sweden. eISSN 1601-5223. Received September 29, 2008. Accepted December 22, 2008 Karyotypic analyses on three species of the Leptodactylus from Brazil showed 2n24 in L.cf.marmoratus,2n23 in Leptodactylus sp. (aff. bokermanni), and 2n26 in L. hylaedactylus, with distinct numbers of bi and uni-armed chromosomes. Leptodactylus cf. marmoratus presented a variation as regard to the morphology of pair 12. All specimens of L.cf.marmoratus had Ag-NOR in pair 6, confirmed by FISH, but the sample from one of the localities presented additional Ag-NOR, in one of the chromosomes 8. In Leptodactylus sp. (aff. bokermanni) and L. hylaedactylus the chromosome pairs bearing Ag-NOR are 11 and 7, respectively. The C banding patterns are predominantly centromeric, but only in L. marmoratus this heterochromatin appeared very brilliant with DAPI. On the other hand, bright labelling was noticed with CMA3 in the three species, on the Ag-NOR site.

We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison.

  • On the Uncertain Taxonomic Identity of Adenomera Hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) and the Composite Type Series of A
    Copeia 107, No. 4, 2019, 708–723 On the Uncertain Taxonomic Identity of Adenomera hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) and the Composite Type Series of A. andreae (Muller,¨ 1923) (Anura, Leptodactylidae) Thiago R. de Carvalho1, Ariovaldo A. Giaretta2, Natan M. Maciel3, Diego A. Barrera4,Cesar´ Aguilar-Puntriano4,5,Celio´ F. B. Haddad1, Marcelo N. C. Kokubum6, Marcelo Menin7, and Ariadne Angulo4,5 Adenomera andreae and A. hylaedactyla are two widespread Amazonian frogs that have been traditionally distinguished from each other by the use of different habitats, toe tip development, and more recently through advertisement calls. Yet, taxonomic identification of these species has always been challenging. Herein we undertake a review of type specimens and include new phenotypic (morphology and vocalization) and mitochondrial DNA information for an updated diagnosis of both species. Our morphological analysis indicates that the single type (holotype) of A. hylaedactyla could either belong to lineages associated with Amazonian forest-dwelling species (A. andreae clade) or to the open-formation morphotype (A. hylaedactyla clade). Given the holotype’s poor preservation, leading to the ambiguous assignment of character states for toe tip development, as well as a vague type locality encompassing a vast area in eastern Ecuador and northern Peru, the identity of this specimen is uncertain. Morphology of toe tip fragments and the original species description suggest that A. hylaedactyla could correspond to at least two described species (A. andreae or A. simonstuarti) or additional unnamed genetic lineages of the A. andreae clade, all bearing toe tips expanded into discs. Analysis of morphometric data, however, clustered the holotype with the Amazonian open-formation morphotype (toe tips unexpanded).

  • Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus Antisianus) Preying on a Glassfrog (Anura, Centrolenidae) in Sierra De Perijá, Northwestern Venezuela
    Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 22(4), 419-421 SHORTCOMMUNICATION December 2014 Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus) preying on a Glassfrog (Anura, Centrolenidae) in Sierra de Perijá, northwestern Venezuela Marcial Quiroga-Carmona1,3 and Adrián Naveda-Rodríguez2 1 Centro de Ecología, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas, Caracas 1020-A, Apartado 2032, Venezuela. 2 The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709, U.S.A. 3 Corresponding author: [email protected] Received on 17 September 2014. Accepted on 8 November 2014. ABSTRACT: We report the predation of a glassfrog (Hyalinobatrachium pallidum) by a Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus). The record was made in a locality in the Sierra de Perijá, near to the northern part of the border between Colombia and Venezuela, and consisted in observinga male P. antisianus vocalizing with a glassfrog in its bill. The vocalizations were answered by a female, which approached the male, took the frog with its bill and carried it into a cavity built on a landslide. Subsequent to this, the male remained near to the cavity until the female left it and together they abandoned this place. Based on the behavior observed in the couple of quetzals, and what has previously been described that this group of birds gives their young a diet rich in animal protein comprised of arthropods and small vertebrates, we believe that the couple was raising a brood at the time when the observation was carried out. KEYWORDS: Anurophagy, diet, Hyalinobatrachium, Trogonidae, Trogoniformes. The consumption of animal protein is a behavior a behavior also reported for P. pavoninus (Lebbin 2007) exhibited by most of the species of the family Trogonidae.

  • By the Wandering Spider Ctenus Ornatus (Araneae: Ctenidae) in Southeastern Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 8: 329-330 (2015) (published online on 16 June 2015) Predation on the tropical bullfrog Adenomera marmorata (Anura: Leptodactylidae) by the wandering spider Ctenus ornatus (Araneae: Ctenidae) in southeastern Brazil Lucas Coutinho Amaral¹,*, Pedro de Souza Castanheira², Sergio Potsch de Carvalho-e-Silva¹ and Renner Luiz Cerqueira Baptista² Anurans are common preys to some species of spiders tiny middle eyes and two large posterior eyes (Jocqué (Menin et al., 2005). Not only adults (e.g., Barej et al., and Dippenaar-Schoeman, 2006). Ctenids are nocturnal 2005), but also tadpoles are preyed on by spiders (e.g., hunters, running mainly on the leaf litter. They use mainly Folly et al., 2014a; Luiz et al., 2013). The frog species vibration and visual contact to locate prey, catching and Adenomera marmorata Steindachner, 1867, occurs in killing them with their powerful poison, delivered by the the Atlantic Rain Forest in southeastern Brazil, from fangs of their strong chelicerae (Jocqué and Dippenaar- Rio de Janeiro to Santa Catarina states (Frost, 2015), Schoeman, 2006). Ctenus ornatus (Keyserling, 1877) is and is one of the most abundant amphibian species in a large and very common ground spider in the Atlantic the leaf-litter (Heyer et al., 1990; Rocha et al., 2007). It Forest, distributed from Pernambuco state, in Northeast, is mostly a nocturnal frog, but males can also be heard to Goiás state, in the West, both in Brazil, to Misiones, at anytime of the day during rainy days (Izecksohn and Argentina (Brescovit and Simó, 2007). Carvalho-e-Silva, 2001). Males call from chambers The following event was observed during a dug in the ground, where the females lay their eggs herpetological field work at approximately 07:30 pm embedded in foam nests (Izecksohn and Carvalho-e- on 10 August, 2014, at the Centro Marista São José Silva, 2001).
