“…All species belong to the Pithecopus hypochondrialis group (Faivovich et al, 2005). Males of many species in this taxonomic group have calls composed by two different notes as described in Pithecopus rusticus , then an acoustic repertoire with short and long pulsed notes are exhibited by Pithecopus ayeaye , Pithecopus azureus , Pithecopus centralis , Pithecopus hypochondrialis , Pithecopus nordestinus , and Pithecopus rohdei (Guimarães et al, 2001; Wogel, Abrunhosa & Pombal, 2004; Brandão et al, 2009; Vilaça, Silva & Solé, 2011; Nali, Borges & Prado, 2015; Haga et al, 2017b). It is possible that these notes have different social function, with the short note being an advertisement signal and long notes emitted in an aggressive context.…”

Bioacoustics is a powerful tool used for anuran species diagnoses, given that advertisement calls are signals related to specific recognition and mate attraction. Thus, call descriptions can support species taxonomy. In spite of that, call descriptions are lacking for many species, delaying advances in biodiversity research. Here, we describe the advertisement calls of 20 anuran species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We accessed 50 digital recordings deposited in the Fonoteca Neotropical Jacques Vielliard. Acoustic analyses were carried out in the software Raven pro 1.5. We provide a general comparison of call structure among species inside taxonomic groups and genera. The vocalizations described here belong to poorly known species, which are representatives of six families: Brachycephalidae, Bufonidae, Ceratophryidae, Cycloramphidae, Hylidae, and Phyllomedusidae. Despite this, still there are 163 species of anurans from Atlantic Forest with calls not formally described. Our work represents an important step in providing data for a taxonomic perspective and improving the knowledge of the Atlantic Forest anuran diversity.

“…The family Phyllomedusidae is currently composed of 65 species distributed in eight genera (Frost 2018), and the release call is known only for Pithecopus ayeaye B. Lutz, 1966(Nali et al 2015. In addition, Wogel et al (2004), describing the vocal repertoire of Pithecopus rohdei (Mertens 1926), defined the release call of this species as similar to its territorial call type 1 with lower intensity.…”

Anurans emit a variety of acoustic signals in different behavioral contexts during the breeding season. The release call is a signal produced by the frog when it is inappropriately clasped by another frog. In the family Phyllomedusidae, this call type is known only for Pithecophus ayeaye. Here we describe the release call of four species: Phyllomedusa bahiana, P. sauvagii, Pithecopus rohdei, and P. nordestinus, based on recordings in the field. The release calls of these four species consist of a multipulsed note. Smaller species of the Pithecopus genus (P. ayeaye, P. rohdei and P. nordestinus), presented shorter release calls (0.022-0.070 s), with higher dominant frequency on average (1508( .8-1651, when compared to the bigger Phyllomedusa (P. bahiana and P. sauvagii) (0.062-0.107 s; 798.7-1071.4 Hz). For phyllomedusid species, the release call might indicate a phylogenetic signal, because species of the same genus have similar acoustic traits.

“…It produces clutches with few large eggs and the larvae generally inhabit rocky stream pools, with crystal clear and slow‐flowing water (Oliveira, ; Pezzuti, Leite, & Nomura, ). The males are territorials, defending pulleys along streams with riparian vegetation for oviposition where funnel nests are constructed above the water using the leaves (Nali, Borges, & Prado, ; Oliveira, ). These leaves are not randomly chosen, but those from Melastomataceae bushes on the margins of the rivulets are preferred (Oliveira, ), probably due to foliar area that minimizes the risk of clutch desiccation and the presence of spiny structures in leaves for anchoring the eggs (Dias, Maragno, Prado, & Cechin, ; Oliveira, ).…”

Protected areas (PAs) are essential for biodiversity conservation, but their coverage is considered inefficient for the preservation of all species. Many species are subdivided into evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) and the effectiveness of PAs in protecting them needs to be investigated. We evaluated the usefulness of the Brazilian PAs network in protecting ESUs of the critically endangered Pithecopus ayeaye through ongoing climate change. This species occurs in a threatened mountaintop ecosystem known as campos rupestres. We used multilocus DNA sequences to delimit geographic clusters, which were further validated as ESUs with a coalescent approach. Ecological niche modeling was used to estimate spatial changes in ESUs’ potential distributions, and a gap analysis was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the Brazilian PAs network to protect P. ayeaye in the face of climate changes. We tested the niche overlap between ESUs to gain insights for potential management alternatives for the species. Pithecopus ayeaye contains at least three ESUs isolated in distinct mountain regions, and one of them is not protected by any PA. There are no climatic niche differences between the units, and only 4% of the suitable potential area of the species is protected in present and future projections. The current PAs are not effective in preserving the intraspecific diversity of P. ayeaye in its present and future range distributions. The genetic structure of P. ayeaye could represent a typical pattern in campos rupestres endemics, which should be considered for evaluating its conservation status.
