Distribution extension of Hyalinobatrachium cappellei (van Lidth de Jeude, 1904...

We report the occurrence of the centrolenid frog Hyalinobatrachium cappellei in Careiro, Amazonas, Brazil (Central Amazonia). Our records reduce a gap of approximately 1,500 km between the closest known records for this glassfrog, and confirm H. cappellei as geographically widespread in the Amazon Basin. © 2012 Check List and Authors.

Predation of boana boans (Anura, hylidae) by an opportunistic frugivorous primate

Although relatively common among omnivorous primates, anurophagy is still poorly documented in frugivorous species. Here we report the predation of a giant gladiator treefrog (Boana boans) by a large arboreal frugivore, the gray woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha cana). The predation event occurred in a stretch of riparian forest located in a fragmented region in Cacoal, Rondônia state, in southwestern Brazili...

On the distinctive call of a threatened phenotype of allobates femoralis (anura...

The brilliant-thighed frog [Allobates femoralis (Boulenger, 1884)] is distributed across the Amazon basin and aggregates several allopatric evolutionary lineages, some of which present variation in their advertisement calls. In 2009, an unregistered call phenotype was discovered in the region of Altamira and Vitória do Xingu, State of Pará, Brazil, where males emit advertisement calls formed by six notes, diffe...

The first record of the rare microhylid altigius alios wild, 1995 in Brazil

The value of including intraspecific measures of biodiversity in environmental ...

The distribution of many vertebrate species in the Amazon basin is delimited by large rivers, which are frequently regarded as geographic barriers related with speciation and are therefore of high conservation value. Rapid development in the region includes plans to dam one of its thirteen major rivers, the Xingu. Environmental impact assessment is required for large scale development within the Brazilian porti...
