Auto-ecologia de Hypsiboas albopunctatus (Anura, Hylidae) em área de Cerrado no sudeste do Brasil

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Autoecology of Hypsiboas albopunctatus (Anura, Hylidae) in an area of Cerrado in southeast of Brazil. Herein we present new data on the breeding activity of the Neotropical treefrog H. albopunctatus. Data was collected in the Municipality of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Behavioral events were observed focally. We determined the pattern of spatial distribution of the tadpoles. We compared abundance of tadpoles in lakes and swamps and correlated it with variation in depth, amount of vegetabl… Show more

“…As with other species, namely H. caipora, H. ericae (Caramaschi and Cruz, 2000) and H. joaquini (Garcia et al, 2003;Antunes et al, 2008;, H. curupi physically engage in territorial disputes, a trait that is detectable due to scarring on the backs of males. Our study, however, did not observe "satellite male" behavior, which is often reported in Hylidae species (Pombal and Haddad, 2005;Oliveira et al, 2007;Miranda et al, 2008;Muniz et al, 2008). Such behavior might have exacerbated differences in perch height between calling and non-calling males.…”

“…O represamento de rios provoca perda dos ecossistemas e fragmentação de hábi-tats, afetando negativamente a diversidade e a abundância de uma série de organismos, incluindo anfíbios (Brandão e Araújo, 2008;Oda et al, 2009;Eskew et al, 2012) e répteis (Cabral et al, 2008 (Cabral et al, 2008). Onze espécies de anfíbios encontradas neste estudo são endêmicas do Cerrado (Valdujo et al, 2012;Colli et al, 2002;Frost, 2014 (Muniz et al, 2008;Kopp et al, 2010) ou que ocorrem em alta abundância por um período mais prolongado na estação chuvosa, como Dendropsophus cruzi, Dendropsophus minutus e Hypsiboas albopunctatus (Kopp et al, 2010), foram mais abundantes em relação às demais espécies registradas. As assembleias de répteis foram caracterizadas pela grande abundância relativa da minoria das espécies, basicamente lagartos da família Teiidae, e pela raridade da maioria, indicando a dominância ecológica do grupo de lagartos Autarchoglossa (Vitt et al, 2003).…”

On September 2004 (after the first sampling), a fire severely destroyed vegetation at CP, including Vereda habitats.…”
