“…A similar pattern was also observed regarding the advertisement calls from others species belonging to the Phyllomedusidae family (e.g. Phyllomedusa burmeisteri vs. P. bahiana, Andrade et al 2018; Pithecopus nordestinus vs. P. azureus, Haga et al 2017). In these cases, the authors did not find acoustic traits to distinguish the studied species.…”

Anurans emit a variety of acoustic signals in different behavioral contexts during the breeding season. The release call is a signal produced by the frog when it is inappropriately clasped by another frog. In the family Phyllomedusidae, this call type is known only for Pithecophus ayeaye. Here we describe the release call of four species: Phyllomedusa bahiana, P. sauvagii, Pithecopus rohdei, and P. nordestinus, based on recordings in the field. The release calls of these four species consist of a multipulsed note. Smaller species of the Pithecopus genus (P. ayeaye, P. rohdei and P. nordestinus), presented shorter release calls (0.022-0.070 s), with higher dominant frequency on average (1508( .8-1651, when compared to the bigger Phyllomedusa (P. bahiana and P. sauvagii) (0.062-0.107 s; 798.7-1071.4 Hz). For phyllomedusid species, the release call might indicate a phylogenetic signal, because species of the same genus have similar acoustic traits.

“…Possibly, this high similarity in sexual signals among different species promote extensive cases of hybridization between these sympatric species (Haddad, Pombal & Batistic, 1994). De Andrade et al (2018) compared calls of Phyllomedusa burmeisteri and Phyllomedusa bahiana and also defined that calls of these species cannot be distinguished by qualitative or quantitative acoustic properties. However, a focused and standardized study based in a robust data set for comparing the vocalizations among species of the Phyllomedusa burmeisteri group is still necessary for a more reliable understanding.…”

Bioacoustics is a powerful tool used for anuran species diagnoses, given that advertisement calls are signals related to specific recognition and mate attraction. Thus, call descriptions can support species taxonomy. In spite of that, call descriptions are lacking for many species, delaying advances in biodiversity research. Here, we describe the advertisement calls of 20 anuran species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We accessed 50 digital recordings deposited in the Fonoteca Neotropical Jacques Vielliard. Acoustic analyses were carried out in the software Raven pro 1.5. We provide a general comparison of call structure among species inside taxonomic groups and genera. The vocalizations described here belong to poorly known species, which are representatives of six families: Brachycephalidae, Bufonidae, Ceratophryidae, Cycloramphidae, Hylidae, and Phyllomedusidae. Despite this, still there are 163 species of anurans from Atlantic Forest with calls not formally described. Our work represents an important step in providing data for a taxonomic perspective and improving the knowledge of the Atlantic Forest anuran diversity.

“…Several authors 13 , 16 – 18 have failed to separate P. bahiana and P. burmeisteri but none have taken any taxonomic approach. De Andrade et al 19 performed an acoustic and morphometric evaluation of the geographical distribution of the species Phyllomedusa burmeisteri ; but were unable to differentiate traits between P. burmeisteri and P. bahiana . Therefore, we decided to also call our studied individuals Phyllomedusa burmeisteri as it is the older name.…”

Amphibians are organisms which mainly have a biphasic life cycle. When at the larval stage, their habitat is generally aquatic, and when adults, they become terrestrial. Pond-breeding amphibians are sensitive to some disturbances in their environment which lead to the decline of a population. The interactions between the species and their environment are performed through movement. Movement ecology combines and explains the movement data of organisms with biotic and abiotic factors and because of this, knowing the movement of these creatures is of great ecological importance. We used the spool-and-line methodology in individuals of the treefrog Phyllomedusa burmeisteri, at the Reserva Ecologica Michelin, located in the southern region of Bahia in Brazil to study their movement patterns in different environments inside and outside of the forest. We monitored 19 P. burmeisteri individuals that presented a mean total movement distance of 2160.76 cm (S.D. 1152.42). We found no significant difference in the trajectories of individuals in forested and open areas, as well as a positive relationship between the distances individuals moved and their weight only in forested areas. no relationship between distance and weight of these individuals. We observed that individuals followed non-linear paths and the number of steps from one place to another varied among individuals. Our movement ecology data allows us to answer questions about short-term movement patterns of Phyllomedusa burmeisteri. This is the first step to start understanding the spatial cognition of treefrogs from the Atlantic Forest and to fill gaps about life habits of these frogs. Information on the movement patterns of a species, as well as its home range can help to create conservation strategies, regarding the creation or delimitation of protected areas, for example.
