Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06)
Anurans employ a wide variety of anti-predator mechanisms to defend themselves. In casque-headed hylids, defence is thought to be a complex combination of several anti-predator mechanisms. However, the defence traits of ...
Underwater sound emission as part of an antipredator mechanism in Ceratophrys cranwelli tadpoles
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-07)
We report the emission of underwater sounds in the tadpoles of a second member of the family Ceratophryidae, Ceratophrys cranwelli. These tadpoles produce a short metallic-like sound, which consists of short trains of ...
Exploring Antipredator Mechanisms: New Findings in Ceratophryid Tadpoles
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2016-06)
Previous studies found that two larvae of the family Ceratophryidae, Ceratophrys ornata (Ornate Horned Frogs) and Ceratophrys cranwelli (Cranwell's Horned Frogs), are able to produce underwater sounds as an antipredator ...
Life history traits of parental care in crenicichla lepidota (Cichliformes, geophagini) in the upper Paraguay river basin, Brazil
(2021-01-01)
During focal observations carried out in the Olho d’Água River, upper Paraguay River basin, Brazil, we registered the defensive behaviour of one pair of Crenicichla lepidota attempting to protect their offspring from ...
Electrolocation-communication discharges of the fish Gymnotus carapo L. (Gymnotidae: Gymnotiformes) during behavioral sleep
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 2014)
Electrolocation-communication discharges of the fish Gymnotus carapo L. (Gymnotidae: Gymnotiformes) during behavioral sleep
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 1999-10-01)
Technical problems have hampered the study of sleep in teleosts. The electrical discharges of Gymnotus carapo L. (Gymnotidae: Gymnotiformes) were monitored to evaluate their ease and reliability as parameters to study ...

Masking Behavior by Mepraia spinolai (Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Anti-predator Defense and Life History Trade-offs
(Springer, 2013)
Masking, a type of camouflage, has been argued to function as an antipredator
mechanism helping to avoid detection or recognition by a prey or predator.
However, research focused on the effects of masking on life history ...
