Choice of Oviposition Site by Hyla Chrysoscelis: Role of Predators and Competitors

Abstract: The role of predators and competitors in the choice of oviposition site by the treefrog Hyla chrysoscelis was examined in a randomized complete block experiment using 90 replicated experimental ponds. Control ponds containing neither predators nor competitors were contrasted with treatment ponds into which one of four species ofpredtors (Ambystoma maculatum larvae, Enneacanthus chaetodon adults, Notophthalmus virzdescens adults, Tramea carolina larvae) or one oftwo species of competitors (Rana catesbeiana, Hyl… Show more

“…However, an equally plausible alternative is that these patterns are produced by colonisation itself, as species detect and respond to site-specific canopy conditions (e.g. open or closed, see Binckley & Resetarits, 2007;Hocking & Semlitsch, 2007 ).The effect of habitat selection on species distributions have been documented in a variety of aquatic taxa in response to both biotic and abiotic factors ( Resetarits & Wilbur, 1989;Blaustein, 1999;Binckley & Resetarits, 2003, 2005Vonesh & Buck, 2007 ). Recent work has documented selective colonisation of open canopy ponds ( Binckley & Resetarits 2007;Hocking & Semlitsch, 2007 ).…”

“…O comportamento das fêmeas é avaliado com base na distribuição dos ovos e girinos entre os tratamentos (ou controle). O objetivo principal do estudo é distinguir se a distribuição dos ovos é aleatória ou se as fêmeas são capazes de selecionar sítios de melhor qualidade (e.g., Resetarits-Jr. & Wilbur 1989, Crump 1991, Laurila & Aho 1997, Dillon & Fiaño 2000, Binckley & Resetarits Jr. 2002, 2003, Rieger et al 2004, Halloy 2006, Haramura 2008); e 3) Alguns trabalhos têm procurado associar quantificações de eventos reprodutivos e experimentos de manipulação no ambiente natural. Nesta abordagem, o pesquisador determina alguns fatores-chave que afetam o sucesso reprodutivo da espécie em questão e depois avalia se esses fatores de fato influenciam a distribuição espacial e temporal das desovas.…”

“…Nos experimentos, Hyla chrysoscelis Cope, 1880, H. squirella Bosc in Daudin, 1800 e H. femoralis Bosc in Daudin, 1800 (Hylidae) evitaram poças com peixes, distribuindo a maioria (até 95%) de suas desovas em situação-controle (sem peixes). Como tendência geral, as fêmeas parecem não discriminar entre níveis contínuos de densidade desses predadores, mas apenas as condições de presença ou ausência, as quais produzem diferenças significativas na sobrevivência dos girinos (Resetarits-Jr. & Wilbur 1989, Binckley & Resetarits-Jr. 2002, 2003, Rieger et al 2004). …”
