    Neotropical Biology and Conservation 11(3):195-197, september-december 2016 Unisinos - doi: 10.4013/nbc.2016.113.10 SHORT COMMUNICATION Defensive behavior of Odontophrynus americanus (Duméril & Bibron, 1841) (Amphibia, Anura, Odontophrynidae) Comportamento defensivo de Odontophrynus americanus (Duméril & Bibron, 1841) (Amphibia, Anura, Odontophrynidae) Fábio Maffei1* [email protected] Abstract Anurans are a common prey of various animals and some species have developed de- Flávio Kulaif Ubaid2 [email protected] fense mechanisms against predators. One of these mechanisms is the stiff-legged, in which individuals change their posture to a flat body with stiff and stretched members. Here we report the first record of this behavior in Odontophrynus americanus, a small toad widespread in the southern portion of South America. We believe that this behavior aims to reduce the chances of being seen by the predator. Keywords: Brazil, Neotropical, frog, camouflage, defensive strategy, stiff-legged. Resumo Anuros são presas de diversos animais e algumas espécies desenvolveram mecanismos de defesa contra predadores. Um dos mecanismos de defesa é o stiff-legged, onde os indivíduos mudam sua postura ficando com o seu corpo achatado, membros rígidos e esticados. Aqui reportamos o primeiro registro desse comportamento em Odontophrynus americanus, um sapo de pequeno porte comum na porção sul da América do Sul. Acre- ditamos que esse comportamento tenha como objetivo reduzir as chances de ser visua- lizado pelo predador. Palavras-chave: Brasil, neotropical, sapo, camuflagem, estratégia defensiva. Anurans have an important role in the trophic chain, as a predator or prey of different species. They usually form aggregates during the rainy period, and can be found in great abundance throughout the breeding season.

  • Release Call of Odontophrynus Cultripes Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (Anura: Odontophrynidae) from Southeastern Brazil
    Bol. Mus. Biol. Mello Leitão (N. Sér.) 38(3):275-282. Julho-Setembro de 2016 275 Release call of Odontophrynus cultripes Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (Anura: Odontophrynidae) from Southeastern Brazil Anathielle C. Sant’ Anna1, Alan F. S. Oliveira2 & Diego J. Santana1* ABSTRACT: (Release call of Odontophrynus cultripes Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (Anura: Odontophrynidae) from Southeastern Brazil) All the eleven Odontophrynus species has their advertisement call described, however, only three species have their release call described. Here, we describe the release call of Odontophrynus cultripes from Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The release call consists of a single pulsed note, with 0.216 – 0.336 s, dominant frequency 516.8 – 689.1 kHz, number of pulses per note 24 – 35, pulse rate 103.31 – 111.52 pulse/s. There are no difference in dominant frequency and call during of the release call and advertisement call of O. cultripes, however comparing number of pulses and pulse rate, the difference found between those parameters for both call types was significant. Some papers suggest the advertisement call evolved from release call, which might explain the similarities found in this work. Keywords: Vocalization, call repertoire, acustic parameters, bioacustic. RESUMO: (O Canto de Soltura de Odontophrynus cultripes (Anura, Odon- tophrynidae) Todas as onze espécies de Odontophrynus possuem o canto de anúncio descrito, contudo, apenas três espécies tem o canto de soltura conhe- cidos. Neste trabalho, nós descrevemos o canto de soltura do Odontophrynus cultripes de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brasil. O canto de soltura consiste de uma nota pulsionada, com duração de 0.216 – 0.336 s, freqüência dominante 516.8 – 689.1 kHz, número de pulsos por nota 24 – 35, taxa de pulso 103.31 – 111.52 pulso/s.

A map shows the main geographical territories of Russia. The catalogue contains information about 113 holotypes that are deposited in Zoological Institution of Russian Academy of Science, St. Petersburg, Russia (ZIN). The text is based on 116 searches of the relevant literature. This catalogue should be useful to specialists in plant protection and biological control. It is hoped that this information will also be of interest to all chalcidologists, especially those who are working on the Eulophidae.

M.N. Nikolskaya was the first organiser of the chalcid scientific school with the first study emanating from the Plant Protection Institution. The monograph "Chalcid fauna of USSR" by Nikolskaya was published in 1952 and had great significance for development of the study of chalcids.

Biota Minas | 222 Estado do Conhecimento Histórico do conhecimento da anurofauna em Minas Gerais Atualmente, são registradas no mundo 6.184 espécies de anfíbios, pertencentes a três ordens: Anura, com 5.453 espécies; Caudata, com 560; e Gymnophiona, com 171 espécies (Frost, 2007). O Brasil é o país com maior riqueza de anfíbios, seguido por Colômbia e Equador (IUCN, 2006; SBH, 2008), sendo reconhecidas 825 espécies, entre as quais 797 são anuros, um caudado e 27 gimnofionos (SBH, 2008). Este número tende a aumentar, considerando que de 2004 até o momento foram descritas 48 novas espécies para o país, 15 das quais (31,25%) publicadas com exemplares do Estado de Minas Gerais (Vasconcelos & Giaretta, 2003; Baldissera et al., 2004; Caramaschi & Cruz, 2004; Caramaschi et al., 2004, 2006; Napoli & Caramaschi, 2004; Pugliese et al., 2004; Nascimento et al., 2005a; Brandão et al., 2007; Cruz et al., 2006, 2007a, b; Drummond et al., 2007; Giaretta et al., 2007a, b).

Atualmente, apesar de ainda não existir um esforço específico de compilação ou inventário, há registros de ocorrência de aproximadamente 200 espécies de anfíbios em Minas Gerais (Drummond et al., 2005), demonstrando o potencial da região para abrigar uma fauna de anfíbios bem mais rica e cujo conhecimento taxonômico ainda é bastante incipiente.
