“…marmoratus se reproduz em poças temporárias de áreas abertas, onde o casal em amplexo deposita ovos despigmentados em ninhos de espuma flutuantes (Nascimento et al 2006). Essa espécie ocorre em áreas abertas dos estados da Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul e em áreas adjacentes do Paraguai e Bolívia (Frost 2008).…”

Abstract:The Brazilian cerrado is a hotspot of biodiversity, areas with many endemic species subjected to severe habitat loss. About 150 amphibian species are known to the Brazilian cerrado, and 28% of them are endemic. Studies focusing cerrado anuran communities are rare. Here we provide a commented list of anurans of two conservation unities of the municipality of Assis, southeastern Brazil: the Estação Ecológica de Assis and the Floresta Estadual de Assis. Twenty three anuran species were recorded, and these belong to 13 genera and six families. The anuran fauna of the cerrado of Assis is dominated by the families Hylidae (eight species) and Leptodactylidae (six species), a pattern commonly found in neotropical sites. Species richness and taxonomic composition at the family level were similar to those of other Brazilian cerrados and perturbed areas characterized by deforestation and increase of open areas. The taxocenosis contains species widespread in open formations of the Cerrado-Caatinga-Chaco complex.

“…The contents of Pleurodema have remained quite stable since the revision by Duellman and Veloso (1977). Nascimento et al. (2006) tentatively transferred Eupemphix fuscomaculatus from Physalaemus to Pleurodema , on the basis of the presence of vomerine teeth, which are absent in Physalaemus as redefined by Nascimento et al.…”

A phylogenetic analysis of Pleurodema (Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae) based on mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences, with comments on the evolution of anuran foam nests

et al. 2012

Species of the genus Pleurodema are relatively small, plump frogs that mostly occur in strong‐seasonal and dry environments. The genus currently comprises 14 species distributed from Panama to southern Patagonia. Here we present a phylogenetic analysis of Pleurodema, including all described species and several outgroups. Our goals include testing its monophyly and the monophyly of the species groups that were historically proposed, and studying the evolution of some character systems, particularly macroglands and egg‐clutch structure; this last point also provided the chance for a discussion of foam nest evolution in anurans. Our dataset includes portions of the mitochondrial genes cytochromeb, 12S, 16S, and the intervening tRNAVal; the nuclear gene sequences include portions of rhodopsin exon 1 and seven in absentia homolog I. Our results support a clade composed of Pleurodema and including the monotypic SomuncuriaLynch, 1978 nested within it. The latter genus is therefore considered a junior synonym of Pleurodema and its sole species is added to this genus. Furthermore, our results indicate the non‐monophyly of several species groups proposed previously. We recognize four clades in Pleurodema: the P. bibroni clade (P. bibroni, P. cordobae and P. kriegi), the P. thaul clade (P. bufoninum, P. marmoratum, P. somuncurensis and P. thaul), the P. brachyops clade (P. alium, P. borellii, P. brachyops, P. cinereum, P. diplolister and P. tucumanum) and the P. nebulosum clade (P. guayapae and P. nebulosum). Our results further indicate the need for a taxonomic reassessment of P. borellii and P. cinereum (as did previous studies), P. guayapae and P. nebulosum, and the three species in the P. bibroni clade. Pleurodema shows a striking pattern of variation in presence/absence of lumbar glands. Our results indicate multiple losses or independent gains of this character associated with defensive displays. The reproductive modes of Pleurodema include four different egg‐clutch structures. The optimization of these indicates that there are at least two independent transformations from the plesiomorphic mode of foam nests to egg‐clutch structures involving gelatinous masses of different sorts (ovoid plates, masses, or strings). We hypothesize that these independent transformations could involve changes at the behavioural (the loss of foam beating behaviour by the parent) and/or structural level (transformations involving the pars convoluta dilata, the section of the oviduct where the foam‐making substance is secreted). Finally, our study of foam nest evolution in Pleurodema is extended to the other groups of anurans where foam‐nesting occurs, on the basis of available data and recent phylogenetic hypotheses. In the different hyloid groups where it occurs, foam‐nesting evolved from clutches laid in water. However, in all ranoids in which foam‐nesting occurs, it evolved from terrestrial clutches, with eggs laid hanging in vegetation, or, if the clutches are laid on a restricted volume of water, involving endotrophic develop...

“…In this article, a categorization protocol based on the coloration intensity conferred by pigmented cells in anuran gonads has been proposed, to allow a general morphological description of the extracutaneous pigmentary system. This pigmentation pattern can be used as additional and complementary proposal to the classical methodologies based on morphometrics, external morphology, color patterns, and osteological characters, used in taxonomic revisions in Leptodactylidae (Nascimento et al, 2005(Nascimento et al, , 2006. Hedges et al (2008) estimated the relationships between 344 species of the family Brachycephalidae using DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear genes.…”
