Territorial and mating behavior in Phyllomedusa azurea (Anura: Hylidae) at a temporary pond in west-central Brazil. We studied territorial and mating behavior of Phyllomedusa azurea in the municipality of Cocalzinho de Goiás, Goiás, which is located in central Brazil. During the mating season, male P. azurea engage in territorial behavior that is associated with vocalizations-advertisement, territorial, fight, or a combination of two more of these. When one male frog invades the territory of another, they commonly emit of territorial calls and engage in physical combat. Three main behavioral traits were observed in mating males-viz., "male-singer," "active search" and "male-shifter." Males vocalize during the amplexus and oviposition. No aggression between females P. azurea was observed.
