Pithecopus rusticus is a small and charismatic leaf frog species known only from the type locality, in Brazilian Subtropical Highland Grasslands of Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil. In this study, we describe aspects reproductive biology populational size P. rusticus, encompassing characterization breeding season, microhabitat use for vocalization spawning, variation body males females operational sex ratio, as well explore influence climate variables on abundance individuals. We collected...
The monkey frog, Pithecopus rusticus (Anura, Phyllomedusidae) is endemic to the grasslands of Araucarias Plateau, southern Brazil. This species known only from a small population found at type locality. Here, we analyzed for first time chromosomal organization repetitive sequences, including seven microsatellite repeats and telomeric sequences (TTAGGG)n in karyotype by Fluorescence situ Hybridization. dinucleotide motifs had pattern distribution clearly distinct those tri- tetranucleotides....
The genetic diversity of the amphibian-killing fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been extensively investigated, supporting emergence multiple lineages, including Global Panzootic Lineage (Bd-GPL) linked to amphibian decline worldwide. Recent analyses support 'out-of-Asia' hypothesis, suggesting Bd-GPL originated in Asia during early 20th century. Here, we aimed shed light on temporal and geographic origins Bd distribution more geographically restricted lineage, Bd-BRAZIL (=...
Audiovisual collections in traditional private or public institutions are crucial for preserving and safeguarding natural recordings of biodiversity. These archives represent a snapshot invaluable moments, behaviours, interactions among species, often representing the last only existing recordings. Therefore, animal vocalisation essential future generations to understand past preserve remaining In this study, we examined largest Latin American sound archive, Fonoteca Neotropical Jacques...
The genus Brachycephalus includes miniaturized toadlets with two distinct morphotypes: brightly colored species a bufoniform phenotype and smaller, cryptic leptodactyliform phenotype. diversity of is still underappreciated, we generally lack fundamental information about their biology. Recent sampling efforts, including DNA analyses recordings advertisement calls, have improved our understanding this group. In the present study, describe new , one smallest vertebrates known. This...
Complex interactions among hosts, pathogens, and the environment affect vulnerability of amphibians to emergence infectious diseases such as chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ). Boana curupi is a forest-dwelling amphibian endemic southern Atlantic Forest South America, severely fragmented region. Here, we evaluated whether abiotic factors (including air water temperature, relative humidity, landscape) are correlated with chytrid infection intensity prevalence in...
Infectious diseases are one of the main threats to biodiversity. The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is associated with several amphibian losses around globe, and environmental conditions may dictate success pathogen spread. Brazilian Amazon has been considered climatically unsuitable for chytrid fungus, but additional information on Bd dynamics in this ecoregion still lacking. We sampled 462 amphibians (449 anurans, 4 caudatans 9 caecilians), representing 57 species from Amazon,...
