“…For instance, males are exposed to predators in the environment when vocalizing (Tuttle & Ryan, 1981). On the other hand, L. podicipinus females also expose themselves to predators during reproduction periods when practicing parental care for their tadpole schooling (Carrillo et al., 2022). Finally smaller, or younger frog individuals have a tendency to be more focused on gaining energy and not being predated, meaning they also have a decent amount of exposure in the environment (Frost, 2021).…”

“…Previous studies on vertebrates have established a link between sex and escape lateralization, (Pellitteri‐Rosa & Gazzola, 2018; Rilea, 2008) However, males, females, and smaller individuals all experience moments when they are exposed to predators in the environment (Carrillo et al., 2022; Tuttle & Ryan, 1981; Frost, 2021), this leads us to hypothesize that size and sex will not exert any influence on lateralization. We also hypothesize that the population as a whole will have a directional preference, and that individuals will be highly lateralized (Ghirlanda & Vallortigara, 2004).…”

Functional lateralization in directional preference for predator evasion was examined in 45 Pointed‐belly frogs (Leptodactylus podicipinus). T‐maze trials revealed a preference for rightward escape, though individual bias was minimal, at only 33%, to evade predictability. Sex and size didn't influence escape decisions, aligning with predator avoidance strategies.Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material.

“…Besides the external selection pressure imposed by predation, caring parents must cope with internal pressures, too. Caring duties may involve high energetic demands and negative effects on locomotor performance, particularly in the case of parents that transport their offspring over long distances and time ( Cuestas Carrillo et al 2022 , Lange et al 2021 , Townsend 1986 ). Here, again, poison frogs are a good example of how parental care and other traits have evolved in tandem.…”

Parenting is considered a key evolutionary innovation that contributed to the diversification and expansion of vertebrates. However, we know little about how such diversity evolved. Amphibians are an ideal group in which to identify the ecological factors that have facilitated or constrained the evolution of different forms of parental care. Among, but also within, the three amphibian orders—Anura, Caudata, and Gymnophiona—there is a high level of variation in habitat use, fertilization mode, mating systems, and parental sex roles. Recent work using broad phylogenetic, experimental, and physiological approaches has helped to uncover the factors that have selected for the evolution of care and transitions between different forms of parenting. Here, we highlight the exceptional diversity of amphibian parental care, emphasize the unique opportunities this group offers for addressing key questions about the evolution of parenting, and give insights into promising novel directions of research. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, Volume 54 is November 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…Parental care is an important component of the life history of many species of amphibians (Wells, 2007), with approximately 66% of the anuran families presenting some form of parental care, including the family Leptodactylidae (Schulte et al, 2020). Although parenting may impose costs to caregivers (Trivers, 1972;Valencia-Aguilar et al, 2020a;Carrillo et al, 2022), studies with different frog species have shown that parental care behaviour plays an important role in offspring survival and reproductive success (Townsend et al, 1984;Valencia-Aguilar et al, 2020b).…”

El cuidado parental tiene un importante papel para la sobrevivencia de la descendencia en varias especies de anfibios, incluyendo especies de ranas de la familia Leptodactylidae. Aquí reportamos una nueva localidad de ocurrencia para Leptodactylus brevipes en el Cerrado brasileño y describimos su comportamiento de cuidado parental. Observamos una hembra de L. brevipes cuidando de un cardumen de renacuajos y realizando el comportamiento de "pumping". Los renacuajos se mantuvieron cerca a la hembra cuidadora, raspando sus piernas y espalda varias veces. No registramos comportamiento agresivo por parte de la hembra. Nuestros resultados están de acuerdo con las observaciones de cuidado maternal en otras especies del grupo de L. melanonotus, incluyendo L. melanonotus, L. natalensis, L. podicipinus y L. pustulatus.
