The South American and West Indian Casque‐headed Treefrogs (Hylidae: Hylinae: Lophyohylini) include 85 species. These are notably diverse in morphology (e.g. disparate levels of cranial hyperossification) and life history (e.g. different reproductive modes, chemical defences), have a wide distribution, and occupy habitats from the tropical rainforests to semiarid scrubland. In this paper, we present a phylogenetic analysis of this hylid tribe based on sequence fragments of up to five mitochondrial (12S, 16S, ND1, COI, Cytb) and six nuclear genes (POMC, RAG‐1, RHOD, SIAH, TNS3, TYR). We included most of its species (> 96%), in addition to a number of new species. Our results indicate: (i) the paraphyly of Trachycephalus with respect to Aparasphenodon venezolanus; (ii) the nonmonophyly of Aparasphenodon, with Argenteohyla siemersi, Corythomantis galeata and Nyctimantis rugiceps nested within it, and Ap. venezolanus nested within Trachycephalus; (iii) the polyphyly of Corythomantis; (iv) the nonmonophyly of the recognized species groups of Phyllodytes; and (v) a pervasive low support for the deep relationships among the major clades of Lophyohylini, including C. greeningi and the monotypic genera Itapotihyla and Phytotriades. To remedy the nonmonophyly of Aparasphenodon, Corythomantis, and Trachycephalus, we redefined Nyctimantis to include Aparasphenodon (with the exception of Ap. venezolanus, which we transferred to Trachycephalus), Argenteohyla, and C. galeata. Additionally, our results indicate the need for taxonomic work in the following clades: (i) Trachycephalus dibernardoi and Tr. imitatrix; (ii) Tr. atlas, Tr. mambaiensis and Tr. nigromaculatus; and (iii) Phyllodytes. On the basis of our phylogenetic results, we analyzed the evolution of skull hyperossification and reproductive biology, with emphasis on the multiple independent origins of phytotelm breeding, in the context of Anura. We also analyzed the inter‐related aspects of chemical defences, venom delivery, phragmotic behaviour, co‐ossification, and prevention of evaporative water loss.

“…Endêmica do Brasil: Sim Boana secedens é endêmica do Brasil, com registros na Mata Atlântica de planícies do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A espécie foi registrada na Serra da Estrela, no município de Duque de Caxias (localidade-tipo "Barro Branco"), no município de Cachoeiras de Macacu (Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu) e no município de Guapimirim (Estação Ecológica do Paraíso) (Weber et al, 2009;Vrcibradic et al, 2016).

Boana secedens é endêmica do Brasil, do bioma Mata Atlântica, sendo conhecida somente de registros no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Trata-se de espécie de reprodução explosiva. Embora tenha distribuição conhecida bastante restrita, a espécie tem sido registrada recentemente e acredita-se que sua distribuição seja mais ampla, pois a área de ocorrência não é bem amostrada. Não há ameaças evidentes que possam afetar a espécie ao ponto de colocá-la em risco de extinção. Por essas razões, Boana secedens foi avaliada como Menos Preocupante (LC).

“…Explosive breeder species, as Itapotihyla langsdorffii (Hylidae), are usually associated with ephemeral habitats, such as temporary ponds (e.g. Vrcibradic et al 2009), while species that reproduce for long periods (continuous breeders) as Scinax trapicheiroi, Aplastodiscus eugenioi, and Phasmahyla jandaia (all Hylidae), and prolonged breeders as Crossodactylus aeneus (Hylodidae) and Proceratophrys tupinamba (Cycloramphidae) may show some preference for more predictable habitats such as streams and permanent ponds (Crump 1974, Rico et al 2004, Almeida-Gomes 2012, Borges-Júnior 2007, Leite et al 2008, Fatorelli et al 2010. The same species may also present different temporal reproductive pattern.…”

T Ropical Tadpole Assemblages: Which Factors Affect Their Structure and Distribution?

Tropical tadpoles may occur in a range of aquatic habitats, from tree holes (e.g., fitolimns), to permanent ponds and streams. Thus, tadpoles are exposed to a different sort of biotic and abiotic factors, according to the habitat they develop, and these factors may also vary over time. What are these factors? What are their relevance for the distribution of tadpole species and local assemblages? How do they affect the structure of tadpole assemblages? In this review, we explore these questions and recognize some trends regarding the factors influencing tropical tadpole assemblages. We can recognize at least nine major trends regarding the distribution and structure of tropical tadpole assemblages: (1) stream size and microhabitat diversity are important abiotic features influencing species richness and composition; (2) in ponds, the permanence gradient (e.g., hydroperiod), and the heterogeneity of habitat are the main factors modeling tropical tadpole assemblages; (3) species composition seems to be a more relevant assemblage parameter than species richness and should be first considered when planning conservation of both pond and stream-dwelling anurans; (4) predation seems to be the most important biotic interaction structuring tropical tadpole assemblages, with vertebrate predators (e.g., fishes) being more voracious in permanent habitats, while invertebrates (e.g., odonate naiads) are the most important in temporary ones; (5) tadpoles may play a regulatory effect preying upon anuran eggs and recently hatched tadpoles (6) microhabitat use varies in function of breeding habitat choice by adults, presence of predators, phylogeny, stage of development and heterogeneity of the habitat; (7) historical factors restrict the breeding habitats that species may use, and impose behavioral and physiologic constrains; (8) temporal variation in biotic (e.g., risk factors) and abiotic factors (e.g., rainfall distribution), and the reproductive patterns of the species may interfere in the structure of tropical tadpole assemblages, and (9) food resource partitioning in tadpole assemblages may both be or not linked to microhabitat occupation, feeding behavior, and morphology. Future efforts regarding the study of tadpoles should contemplate assemblages associated with streams, and experimental studies. Keywords: Tadpole assemblage structure; historical factors; biotic factors; habitat structure; microhabitat use.
