“…The species distribution is similar to P. gyrinaethes, occuring in sympatry at Serra do Urubu and Estação Ecológica de Muricí (Peixoto et al, 2003;Roberto & Ávila, 2013). However this species is not restricted to the forested areas, occurring at forest edges, and open areas from sea level up to 650 a.s.l elevation (Peixoto et al, 2003). At the Serra do Urubu mountain range the species was commonly found at Pedra do Cruzeiro Region, in the terrestrial bromeliads and at the forest edge.…”

“…(Moura et al, 2011) mentioned the occurrence of the species at the Parque Nacional de Dois Irmãos (200 hectares), municipality of Recife; Usina de São José (323 hectares), municipality of Igarassú; Brejo dos Cavalos (359 hectares), municipality of Caruaru; and Fazenda Buriti (110 hectares), municipality of Brejo da Madre de Deus; and found a population of this species at the Complexo Pedra do Cruzeiro (630 hectares), RPPN Frei Caneca, municipality of Jaqueira. The only documented record from the State of Alagoas is from the Estação Ecológica de Murici (Peixoto et al, 2003), Conservation Unit with 6.116 hectares.…”

“…Diversity of the Atlantic forest in this region remains underestimated (Tabarelli et al 2006) and some new taxa were described only recently (e.g. Silva et al 2002;Peixoto et al 2003;Tabarelli et al 2006), including new orchid bee species (Moure & Schlindwein 2002;Nemésio 2010).…”

A new species of Eufriesea Cockerell (Hymenoptera, Apidae) from northeastern Brazil. Eufriesea pyrrhopyga sp. nov. a short-tongued Eufriesea is described as a new species. It can be easily recognized for its predominantly violet lower frons and thorax, violet tergum 1 contrasting with the strong reddish coloration on the lateral portions of terga 2 to 4 and on entire terga 5 and 6, and head pubescence with contrasting colors, white on the lower two-thirds of the face and black on upper frons and vertex. This new species, collected in Recife (Pernambuco, Brazil), apparently is restricted to the Pernambuco endemic center, and seems to be highly endangered.
Uma nova espécie de Eufriesea Cockerell (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossina) do nordeste brasileiro. Eufriesea pyrrhopyga sp. nov., uma Eufriesea de língua curta, é descrita como espécie nova. Esta espécie pode ser facilmente reconhecida pela cor predominantemente violeta na região inferior da fronte e no tórax; primeiro tergo violeta, contrastando com a coloração avermelhada intensa nas porções laterais dos tergos 2 à 4 e nos tergos 5 e 6; e pela pilosidade da cabeça com cores contrastantes, com pêlos claros nos dois terços inferiores da face e escuros na região superior da fronte e no vértice. Esta nova espécie, coletada em Recife, (Pernambuco, Brasil) está aparentemente restrita ao Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco, e parece correr um sério risco de extinção

“…This species can be distinguished from other species in the Phyllodytes luteolus group based on coloration (Faivovich et al 2005). It is a mediumsized species (snout−vent length 23.5 to 28.8 mm), with adults characterized by a deep golden yellow color and a conspicuous pearl white spot on the dorsum on the tadpole (Peixoto et al 2003).…”

“…Specifically, we explored habitat associations between Bd and the bromeligenous species Phyllodytes edelmoi Peixoto, Caramaschi & Freire, 2003 in a rocky outcrop habitat. Although the conservation status (IUCN Red List category = Data Deficient, DD) and the systematics of P. edelmoi still need revision (Freire & Peixoto 2004, Wiens et al 2005, Jowers et al 2008, Pyron & Wiens 2011, it is well documented that this genus spawns in bromeliads (reproductive mode 6, sensu Haddad & Prado 2005).…”

Jumping into a trap: high prevalence of chytrid fungus in the preferred microhabitats of a bromeliad-specialist frog

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been identified as a major threat to several amphibian populations in tropical forests. Amphibians that inhabit the phytotelmata (water tanks) of bromeliads may be especially at risk of Bd infection since the humid, environmentally buffered microhabitat that they prefer might also be favorable for Bd persistence on the host. To test this hypothesis, we sampled adults and tadpoles of the bromeligenous anuran Phyllodytes edelmoi (endemic to the northern Brazilian Atlantic Forest) from the bromeliad Portea leptantha for Bd, using qPCR. We also analyzed 8 bromeliad characteristics: water tank temperature and pH, canopy closure, tank diameter, number of leaves, bromeliad maximum column depth to store water, bromeliad relative volume, and season. Adult frogs preferentially selected bromeliads with a smaller diameter, more leaves and a relatively higher volume of water. We found that Bd was more prevalent in frogs inhabiting bromeliad phytotelmata with smaller diameters, suggesting that the behavioral preferences of P. edelmoi may be driving Bd infection patterns. Therefore, species such as P. edelmoi will be trapped by their own natural history traits.
