“…Machos que alocam mais energia na atividade de vocalização obtêm maiores benefícios (ARAK, 1983) e machos pequenos podem ser considerados bons interceptadores de fêmeas, pois são mais ágeis que os machos grandes e estão mais em alerta (FORESTER & LYKENS, 1986). De um total de seis acasalamentos, apenas um foi obtido por um macho satélite.…”

“…No gênero Physalaemus, esse comportamento havia sido registrado para P. cuvieri Fitzinger, 1826(BARRETO & ANDRADE, 1995. Vários autores (PERRIL et al, 1978;FORESTER & LYKENS, 1986;HADDAD, 1991) observaram que o comportamento satélite é geralmente adotado por machos pequenos, inferiores reprodutivamente e que permanecem imóveis e em posição submissa próximo aos machos cantores. Neste estudo, machos que adotaram comportamento satélite não satisfizeram a nenhuma dessas características, com exceção da imobilidade e do estado em alerta.…”

“…Assim, se um macho pequeno chega em uma área depois de outros machos, isso indicará que este indivíduo deverá adotar a estratégia satélite, pois sendo menor diante de seu vizinho, torna-se menos custoso parasitá-lo sexualmente a competir vocalmente. No entanto, para os machos de igual ou maior tamanho que chegaram depois e adotaram a estratégia satélite em vez da estratégia cantor, pode ser que sejam machos que estejam poupando energia como observado em Hyla crucifer Wied-Neuwied, 1838(FORESTER & LYKENS, 1986.…”

“…Estratégia satélite tem sido observada em diversas espécies de anfíbios anuros (PERRIL et al, 1978;FORESTER & LYKENS, 1986;HADDAD, 1991), na qual machos menores, considerados reprodutivamente inferiores, adotam uma postura submissa e imóvel próximo ao macho dominante (vocalmente ativo e mais atrativo às fêmeas), seja para interceptar fêmeas que se aproximem do macho cantor ou esperar que áreas de corte sejam desocupadas (WELLS, 1977b;HADDAD, 1991).…”

BREEDING ACTIVITY OF PHYSALAEMUS SIGNIFER (ANURA, LEPTODACTYLIDAE) IN A TEMPORARY POND. The breeding activity of Physalaemus signifer (Girard, 1853) was monitored from July 1999 to July 2000 in a temporary pond in Palmital, Municipality of Saquarema, State of Rio de Janeiro, Atlantic Rain Forest, Brazil. Males were sexually actives only in four nights, arriving at the pond on the early rainy season. Males in amplexus were larger and spent more nights in the reproductive aggregation than solitary ones. The number of nights was correlated with the mass of the males. Males adopted satellite behavior as alternative tactic for mate acquisition. Changes between calling and satellite tactics were observed in different nights. Calling males were not larger and heavier than satellite ones. Satellite behavior seemed to be related with the order of arrival on the pond. Size and mass of males did not influence the results of fights. Resident males won the majority of agonistics combats. Three types of vocalizations are described: advertisement, territorial, and encounter calls.

“…Finally, the mating system is understood. Both female choice and intermale competition appear to be important elements of courtship (Rosen and Lemon, 1974;Fellers, 1979;Gatz, 1981;Brenowitz et al, 1984;Doherty and Gerhardt, 1984;Forester and Czarnowsky, 1985;Forester and Lykens, 1986). Males of different sizes sometimes employ different mating behaviors (Forester and Lykens, 1986), and males of different sizes sometimes (Gatz, 1981) but not always (Forester and Czarnowsky, 1985) experience different degrees of mating success.…”

THE EFFECTS OF THE MATING SYSTEM ON PROGENY PERFORMANCE IN HYLA CRUCIFER (ANURA: HYLIDAE)

1988

Abstract. -We performed a controlled mating experiment to determine whether genetic variation in larval traits in Hyla crucifer was predictable on the basis of mating status or body size of male parent. Larval growth rate was predictably related to body size of the sire. Males from the upper halfofthe body-size distribution sired offspring with 6% higher growth rates than those ofoffspring sired by males from the lower half of the body-size distribution. Offspring sired by males that obtained mates in nature had 3% higher growth rates than their half-siblings sired by males that did not mate in nature. Genetic variation for larval-period duration and size at metamorphosis was detected; however, neither mating status nor body size of sire could be used to predict values ofthese traits in the progeny. Although all three larval traits can affect fitness, there was no evidence that the offspring of some sires would always outperform the offspring of others in all three traits. The predictable association between adult male size and larval growth rate means that the H. crucifer mating system would have a directional effect on larval growth rate if male body size influences the outcome of male-male competition or female choice.
