“…The most remarkable exceptions were the predaceous tadpole of Ceratophryidae, which ate insects, crustaceans and tadpoles (Fabrezi & Cruz, 2020; Vera Candioti, 2005), the bromeliad‐dwelling tadpoles of Scinax littoreus and S. perpusillus , which ate mainly Cyanophyceae and Zygnematophyceae respectively (Sabagh et al, 2012) and the tree hole breeder Trachycephalus cunauaru , which ate mainly conspecific eggs (Schiesari et al, 2003). Tadpoles also had other items besides algae in their guts, however, usually in small proportions, such as fungi (Protázio et al, 2020), testate amoeba (Kloh et al, 2018, 2019; Pollo et al, 2019; Sabagh et al, 2012; Vera Candioti, 2005; Vera Candioti, 2007), insect remains/eggs/larvae (Dutra & Callisto, 2005; Pollo et al, 2019; Protázio et al, 2020; Sabagh et al, 2012), Rotifera, Cilliophora, Nematoda, Crustacea, Oligochaeta (Verburg et al, 2007), pollen (Kloh et al, 2019; Protázio et al, 2020; Sabagh et al, 2012). The proportion of diatoms in tadpole diets may be overestimated because many studies analysed the whole digestive tract and the capsules of diatoms can be identified even after digestion, whereas other items are digested and not seen in posterior portions of the gut (Kloh et al, 2018).…”
