The Advertisement Call ofScinax similis(Cochran, 1952) (Amphibia, Anura)

Treefrog Diversity in the Neotropics: Phylogenetic Relationships of Scinaxini (Anura: Hylidae: Hylinae)

“…39). This association is further supported by comparing available information on vocalizations (Jansen et al, 2011;Bilate and Lack, 2011) and larvae Schulze et al, 2015). Our results represent a remarkable extension in our knowledge of the distribution of S. similis and show it to be one of the most broadly distributed species in the genus.…”

Revisiting the advertisement call features of Scinax montivagus (Anura: Hylidae)

“…The advertisement call (Figure 2; Table 1) consists of a single type of multipulsed note with duration of 142-239 ms (short call sensu Bilate and Lack [32]), emitted at intervals of 1.4-4.8 s. Calls have 12-16 pulses that increase in amplitude from the first to the third or fourth pulse, until it reaches a plateau towards the end of the call. In some cases, pulses can raise gradually in amplitude until final portion of the call.…”

“…These facts point out to the need to use lines of evidence other than morphology, such as molecular and acoustics characterizations, to uncover cryptic diversity in Scinax [17]. In this sense, several studies have been done in an endeavor to properly document interspecific variation of vocal patterns in the genus [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The advertisement call of Scinax species is usually consisted of a single multipulsed note with variable duration [25,[31][32][33][34][35] and sometimes with more than one emphasized frequency band [25,30,36], what seems to be relevant in species-specific recognition [25,37].…”
