Ecology of Hypsiboas albopunctatus (Anura: Hylidae) in a Neotropical Savanna

Diet of Boana albopunctata (Anura: Hylidae) in an Atlantic Forest fragment of southeastern Brazil

“…The difference between diet composition of the Cerrado population and the Atlantic Forest population may be due the habitat and prey availability differences between the two regions, since the previous studies were conducted in the rainy season. Like Araújo et al (2007) and Guimarães et al (2011), we observed a tendency for frogs to select larger prey in smaller quantities, such as Orthoptera and Lepidoptera. Individuals of B. albopunctata in the Atlantic Forest seem to pursue a strategy of low energetic cost in foraging.…”

“…The empty stomachs found in the current study can indicate investment in vocalization because males do not eat during reproductive periods (Van Sluys and Rocha 1998), or it may be because of the time between Araújo et al (2007) assessed the diet of Boana albopunctata in a population from the Cerrado in the rainy season and found that Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera were the most numerically abundant categories. Another Cerrado population of B. albopunctata was sampled in rainy and dry seasons, and Coleoptera, Aranae and Orthoptera were the most important items for that population (Guimarães et al 2011). The difference between diet composition of the Cerrado population and the Atlantic Forest population may be due the habitat and prey availability differences between the two regions, since the previous studies were conducted in the rainy season.…”

“…Reports on the natural history and diet of B. albopunctata within its range are scarce, with only two studies conducted in the Cerrado in west-central Brazil (see Araújo et al 2007, Guimarães et al 2011. Herein, we describe the diet of B. albopunctata from an Atlantic Rainforest fragment in southeast Brazil.…”

Alimentación de dos especies de anfibios (Anura: Hylidae) en la estación de bajas temperaturas y su relación con la acumulación de energía en Santa Fe, Argentina

“…Basso 1990, Peltzer & Lajmanovich 2000, Duré & Kehr 2004, López et al 2007, 2009) y solo algunos pocos han tenido en cuenta la estación fría (Maneyro & da Rosa 2004, Guimarães et al 2011. Esta situación ha derivado en escasa información sobre lo que ocurre con la alimentación de aquellas especies activas durante la estación fría o las estrategias de utilización de reservas lipídicas como fuente de energía durante el periodo de bajas temperaturas.…”

Relações entre taxa de vocalização, níveis plasmáticos de corticosterona e imunocompetência em Hypsiboas albopunctatus (Spix, 1824)

“…Hypsiboas albopunctatus é uma espécie de reprodução contínua, mas com maiores registros de ocorrência nos meses chuvosos (Guimarães et. al., 2011;Maffei et al, 2011).…”
