Oviposition-site selection by Phyllomedusa sauvagii (Anura: Hylidae): an arboreal nester inhabiting arid environments
(Elsevier, 2013-06)
Breeding biology in Phyllomedusa sauvagii is related to vegetation since the species encloses its eggs in leaves above water. Considering that arid environments may represent high risks of death by desiccation for amphibians ...
Odonatan endophytic oviposition from the Eocene of Patagonia: the ichnogenus Paleoovoidus and implications for behavioral stasis
(Paleontological Society, 2009-05)
We document evidence of endophytic oviposition on fossil compression/impression leaves from the early Eocene Laguna del Hunco and middle Eocene Río Pichileufú floras of Patagonia, Argentina. Based on distinctive morphologies ...
Egg clutch structure of Rhinella rumbolli (Anura: Bufonidae), a toad from the Yungas of Argentina, with a review of the reproductive diversity in Rhinella
(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde, 2015-06)
Rhinella rumbolli is a poorly known, medium-sized toad endemic to the Yungas of Argentina. Recent fieldwork allowed observing its peculiar oviposition mode, which is described in this paper. A review of literature and ...
Reproductive site selection in the leaf-frog Phyllomedusa azurea Cope, 1862 (Anura: Hylidae) in altered areas of the Brazilian Cerrado
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-11-25)
The selection of reproductive sites by anurans may be associated with each species' behavioural restrictions, reproductive modes, morphology and physiology. We investigated the use of reproductive sites by Phyllomedusa ...
Toxicity assessment of four insecticides with different modes of action on pupae and adults of Eriopis connexa (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), a relevant predator of the Neotropical Region
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016-08)
Pesticides can be toxic to nontarget organisms including the natural enemies of agricultural pests, thus reducing the biodiversity of agroecosystems. The lethal and sublethal effects of four insecticides with different ...
Anfíbios de um brejo-de-altitude no bioma Caatinga (Serra de Maranguape, Ceará), com ênfase na biologia de uma espécie endêmica e ameaçada (Adelophryne maranguapensis, Anura, Leutherodactylidae)
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilCiências BiológicasUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biodiversidade AnimalCentro de Ciências Naturais e Exatas, 2013-11-22)
This work is distributed in five chapters that focuses the composition of amphibians in
Maranguape mountain, State of Ceara, prioritizing informations on the reproductive biology of
Adelophryne maranguapensis, an endemic ...
Polyandry, Predation, and the Evolution of Frog Reproductive Modes
(Univ Chicago Press, 2016-09-01)
Frog reproductive modes are complex phenotypes that include egg/clutch characteristics, oviposition site, larval development, and sometimes, parental care. Two evident patterns in the evolution of these traits are the ...
Egg-laying site, fecundity and degree of sexual size dimorphism in frogs
(Oxford Univ Press, 2020-11-01)
Female fecundity is an important selective force leading to female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in frogs. Because anurans exhibit diverse reproductive modes, we investigated whether variation in SSD and fecundity ...
