“…This is an expected result and reflects the pattern observed in several studies in restingas (e.g. Bastazini et al 2007;Colombo et al 2008;Zina et al 2012). The diversity of reproductive modes of the species in the family Hylidae (Haddad and Prado 2005) combined with the ecological and morphological diversity of its species (Wells 2007) are probably some of the factors responsible for the abundance of this family.…”

We gathered the available information about the anurofauna in Brazilian sand coastal plains ("restingas") published since the 1966, which is the date of the first study we found that was conducted exclusively about anurans in these ecosystems. We made a compilation of available data found in publications and sought to finding a pattern on anuran communities of Brazilian sandy coastal plains. We found 63 published studies about anurans in remaining restingas along the Brazilian coast. We record the occurrence of 14,010 individuals, comprised of 145 amphibian species from 12 families. The species were distributed latitudinally in a peculiar way, and here, we discuss this distribution regarding the characteristics of the species. Our results showed that the available existing base still does not allow us to define the structural patterns of the anuran communities in sandy coastal plains in Brazil. The relative lack of studies about the anurofauna in "restingas" and the high rate of degradation are negative factors that can cause extinctions in these environments even before we understand the patterns and processes that act on anuran communities in restinga environments.

“…The family Hylidae showed the highest species richness in the Restinga of the Conde municipality, which coincides with the pattern already reported for the Restinga of the Mata de São João municipality (Juncá 2006, Bastazini et al 2007) and for other Restingas in Brazil (e.g., Rocha et al 2008, Narvaes et al 2009, Zina et al 2012, Oliveira & Rocha 2015. In the wetland zones, the dominant species was Scinax fuscomarginatus (Table 3).…”

Composition and diversity of anurans in the Restinga of the Conde municipality, northern coast of the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil

et al. 2016

The Conde municipality is located in the northern coast of the state of Bahia (NC), northeastern Brazil, and is part of the Atlantic Tropical domain. The anuran fauna of the northern portion of the NC is still poorly known if compared to the southern portion. The Restinga is one of the predominant environments of the coastal plains of the NC and it is characterized essentially by presenting sandy soil covered by herbaceous and shrubby vegetation. The objective of this study was to determine the anuran species composition and diversity for the Restinga of the Conde municipality. Sampling was carried out at night by active search over four periods of five consecutive days each, two over the 'main rainy season' and two in a 'lesser rainy season', using 14 sample units (SUs) and five extra sample plots (EPs). We calculated dominance and species diversity using the Berger-Parker and Shannon-Wiener H' indices, respectively. We used accumulation curves and the Jackknife 1 estimator to estimate anuran species richness, considering only the data obtained from the SUs. We recorded 713 anuran specimens distributed within 33 species, 13 genera and five families (Bufonidae, Craugastoridae, Hylidae, Leptodactylidae and Microhylidae). The Hylidae and Leptodactylidae families had the highest species richness. Considering only the SUs (Jackknife 1 estimator in brackets), we recorded 28 species in the study area (33.9 ± 2.3), 13 in Shrubby Vegetation Zones - SVZ (20.8 ± 2.9) and 25 in Freshwater Wetland Zones - FWZ (28.9 ± 1.9). The abundance and species diversity of the FWZ (n = 638 specimens; H'= 2.4) were higher than those recorded for the SVZ (n = 52 specimens; H' = 1.9). The SVZ and FWZ showed distinct dominant species, wherein Pristimantis paulodutrai was the dominant species in SVZ and Scinax fuscomarginatus in FWZ. The Restinga of the Conde municipality stands out as the one with the highest anuran species richness already recorded considering only SVZ and FWZ. Moreover, its anuran species composition represented 55% of the anuran species known for the NC and included taxa common to three different morphoclimatic domains (Tropical Atlantic, Cerrado and Caatinga).

“…Amphibian assemblages have been studied widely in Brazil (Conte and Rossa-Feres 2007;Garey and Hartmann 2012;Zina et al 2012;Oliveira et al 2013), where they provide important data for the understanding of the ecological relationships among species in time (Santos-Pereira et al 2011) and space (Juncá 2006;Ferreira et al 2012). Species lists (Wachlevski and Rocha 2010;Telles et al 2012;Affonso et al 2014;AlmeidaGomes et al 2014;Crivellari et al 2014) typically constitute an essential first step for the monitoring of the fauna of specific habitats and the assessment of the status of species and their populations, which can be used to guide conservation decision-making (Pimenta et al 2005), especially considering that most strategies are based on local species richness (Rocha et al 2003) and on the extinction risk of different species (Miller et al 2006).…”

Abstract:We provide an updated checklist of the anurans of the Salto Morato Nature Reserve (SMNR), Paraná, southern Brazil, including information on species endemism, conservation status, habitat use, and reproductive modes. We sampled the study area between February 2013 and July 2015, using Visual Encounter Surveys, totaling 700 hours of sampling effort. We supplement our primary data with secondary data (published papers and voucher specimens), and through these, we found a total of 54 anuran species representing 23 genera and 10 families. All the frogs recorded are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. Although no species has been listed as Endangered on the Red Lists of Paraná state, Brazil, and the IUCN, five are classified as Data Deficient. Most of the species recorded were arboreal (55.5%), a third were terrestrial (33.3%), and the remainders were rheophilic (11.1%). We identified 18 different reproductive modes, with types 1 (lay eggs in lentic water where the tadpoles develop) and 23 (direct development of terrestrial eggs) being the most common. Our findings indicate that the SMNR currently has the greatest diversity of anuran species and reproductive modes of any area in southern Brazil.
