“…Segundo Bokermann (1966), Peixoto e Cruz (1988) e Caramaschi et al (1992), Phyllodytes compreende espécies que apresentam odontóides na mandíbula, caráter único entre os hilídeos, e que se reproduzem em broméliáceas, local de desenvolvimento dos girinos. No Brasil, Phyllodytes luteolus é conhecida apenas para o norte do estado do Espírito Santo e sul da Bahia.…”

“…Although Brazil has, through these researchers, considerable scholarly contributions concerning studies in herpetology, when we search for work carried out on "restinga" environments, we find only 63 publications, many of them dedicated to describing species, such as Scinax agilis (Cruz and Peixoto 1982), Phyllodytes melanomystax (Caramaschi et al 1992), Aparasphenodon bokermani (Pombal 1993), and Melanophryniscus Setiba (Peloso et al 2012).…”

We gathered the available information about the anurofauna in Brazilian sand coastal plains ("restingas") published since the 1966, which is the date of the first study we found that was conducted exclusively about anurans in these ecosystems. We made a compilation of available data found in publications and sought to finding a pattern on anuran communities of Brazilian sandy coastal plains. We found 63 published studies about anurans in remaining restingas along the Brazilian coast. We record the occurrence of 14,010 individuals, comprised of 145 amphibian species from 12 families. The species were distributed latitudinally in a peculiar way, and here, we discuss this distribution regarding the characteristics of the species. Our results showed that the available existing base still does not allow us to define the structural patterns of the anuran communities in sandy coastal plains in Brazil. The relative lack of studies about the anurofauna in "restingas" and the high rate of degradation are negative factors that can cause extinctions in these environments even before we understand the patterns and processes that act on anuran communities in restinga environments.

“…Phyllodytes luteolus is commonly found in northern Espirito Santo and southern Bahia coastlands (Brazil), where they use bromeliads in open habitats, such as sand bars (Bokermann, 1966). Tadpoles develop in phytotelmata in leaf axils (Caramaschi et al, 1992). In the Reserva Florestal da Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Espirito Santo state, Brazil), P luteolus females frequently lay only one egg per leaf axil, which may be a response to the small water volume stored in the axils of Vriesia neoglutinosa, The genus Phyllodytes includes small hylid frogs that use bromeliads as calling and oviposition sites.…”

Growth hormone and testosterone can independently stimulate the growth of hypophysectomised prepubertal lambs without any alterations in circulating concentrations of insulin-like growth factors. ABSTRACT.-I studied the use of calling and retreat sites by Phyllodytes luteolus in an ornamental bromeliad garden where phytotelmata in bromeliad leaf axils are abundant. I investigated individual spacing and activity patterns. Among the nine bromeliad species cultivated in the garden, the frogs used Vriesia neoglutinosa and plants structurally similar to it more than expected according to their availability. Phyllodytes luteolus uses V neoglutinosa in its natural habitat. For one bromeliad species (Sp 1), frogs usedproportionally more those plants that were higher (57.7 ? 8.4 cm above ground), had lower pH (4.94 ? 0.88), and deeper phytotelmata (5.38 ? 2.09 cm). Plant height, phytotelmata depth, and pH had no influence on frogs' choices in the other bromeliad species tested. Males were active all night, and calling activity was highest immediately after sunset. Some males called during the day. Males did not exibit aggressive behavior towards other males, including those intruding onto their c...
