“…Post-fertilization parental care has been recorded in approximately one tenth of frog species worldwide (Lehtinen and Nussbaum 2003). Although parental care remains sparsely recorded in Southeast Asian frogs (Poo and Bickford 2013), it is known in species closely related to F. kajau, such as F. (Chiromantis) hansenae (Cochran, 1927) (Sheridan andOcock 2008, Poo andBickford 2013) and F. vittata (Boulenger, 1887) (Wan et al 2012). In these three species, the parent positions the posterior portion of its body and hind legs over the egg clutch.…”

“…obs.). In the closely related F. hansenae, there is intense arthropod predation pressure, which is the single largest cause of egg mortality (Poo and Bickford 2013). However, even a brief period of egg attendance can increase egg survivorship.…”

“…Amphibians are more sensitive to environmental toxins or to changes in patterns of temperature or rainfall than are other terrestrial vertebrate (Alford & Richards 1999), thus making them more susceptible to environmental stressor. In addition, some of the peculiar life-history characteristics of amphibian such as parental care, breeding behaviour, and various kinds of larva development are under studied especially in Southeast Asia (Poo & Bickford 2013). In fact, this information is essential to enhance our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary significance of amphibians in general.…”

Despite an early description, the rhacophorid frog (Chiromantis vittiger (Boulenger 1897)) is relatively poorly known species. It has been found in several areas in the mountainous part of western Java, one of which is in the Chevron Geothermal Indonesia (CGI) concession area within Mount Halimun-Salak National Park. An ecological study of this species and its habitat was conducted in CGI from April to September 2008. The biological and ecological aspects of this tree frog such as morphology, habitat characteristics, breeding behaviour, and larval development are presented in this paper. This study found that the fertilised eggs hatch as free-swimming tadpoles. In addition, the availability of artificial habitat in the form of concrete ponds helps sustain the population throughout the year. We also report parental care in this species.

The regulation of body temperature (thermoregulation) and of water balance (defined here as hydroregulation) are key processes underlying ecological and evolutionary responses to climate fluctuations in wild animal populations. In terrestrial (or semiterrestrial) ectotherms, thermoregulation and hydroregulation closely interact and combined temperature and water constraints should directly influence individual performances. Although comparative physiologists traditionally investigate jointly water and temperature regulation, the ecological and evolutionary implications of these coupled processes have so far mostly been studied independently. Here, we revisit the concept of thermo‐hydroregulation to address the functional integration of body temperature and water balance regulation in terrestrial ectotherms. We demonstrate how thermo‐hydroregulation provides a framework to investigate functional adaptations to joint environmental variation in temperature and water availability, and potential physiological and/or behavioral conflicts between thermoregulation and hydroregulation. We extend the classical cost–benefit model of thermoregulation in ectotherms to highlight the adaptive evolution of optimal thermo‐hydroregulation strategies. Critical gaps in the parameterization of this conceptual optimality model and guidelines for future empirical research are discussed. We show that studies of thermo‐hydroregulation refine our mechanistic understanding of physiological and behavioral plasticity, and of the fundamental niche of the species. This is illustrated with relevant and recent examples of space use and dispersal, resource‐based trade‐offs, and life‐history tactics in insects, amphibians, and nonavian reptiles.
