Diet of three sympatric Physalaemus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from the Brazilian semiarid region

“…The genus Physalaemus Fitzinger, 1826, currently comprises 43 species (Segalla et al, 2019), distributed from Mexico to southern South America (Nascimento et al, 2005;Grant et al, 2006;Frost, 2019). Species of this genus inhabiting the Atlantic Forest domain and the phytophysiognomies of the Cerrado, Pantanal, Amazonia, and Caatinga in Brazil (Lisboa & Haddad, 2009;Caldas et al, 2010;Frost, 2019), occupying a wide variety of microhabitats (Heyer et al, 1990).…”

Physalaemus cicada Bokermann, 1966 (Anura: Leiuperidae): Distribution extension with new south limit and geographic distribution map

“…The frog genus Physalaemus Fitzinger, 1826, currently comprises 45 species (Frost 2011) distributed east of the Andes, from northern to southern South America (Nascimento et al 2005). Physalaemus cicada Bokermann, 1966 is a terrestrial species known to inhabit open areas of Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest domains (Arzabe and Silvano 2004;Nascimento et al 2005;Silveira 2006;Lisboa and Haddad 2009;Caldas et al 2010) and is usually found near temporary or lentic ponds or in the water, where it makes foam nests, with larval development in temporary pools (Arzabe and Silvano 2004;Loebmann and Mai 2008;Lisboa and Haddad 2009;Caldas et al 2010). This species is listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN, because of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and the fact that it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category, although it is a rare species over its large range (Arzabe and Silvano 2004).…”
