Hylodes Asper
''Hylodes asper'', or the Brazilian torrent frog, is a species of frogs in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states in southeastern Brazil. Living in a high-noise environment, the species uses " semaphoring" to supplement acoustic signalling. Behaviour ''Hylodes asper'' are diurnal. Males use both visual and acoustic signalling to attract females and to maintain their territories. "Foot-flagging" is the most distinctive visual display, usually performed while calling. In foot-flagging, the raises one hind limb and extends it up and back, exposing the silvery colour of the dorsal surfaces of toes and toe fringes. Male ''Hylodes asper'' have been observed to construct an underwater chamber, apparently for use as a nest for reproduction. Habitat and conservation The species' natural habitats are larger forest streams and small forest rivers in primary and old secondary forests. Active by day, it can be found on rocks and low vegetation along ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hylodes Dactylocinus
''Hylodes dactylocinus'' is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Serra do Itatins, in the São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil. Description Adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. Behaviour ''Hylodes dactylocinus'' are diurnal sit-and-wait predators, using emerged logs and rocks as their standing points. Males are territorial and use both visual and acoustic signalling to attract females and to maintain their territories. Male ''Hylodes dactylocinus'' construct an underwater chamber. This is used for (presumably) amplexus and oviposition. The male closes the chamber after the oviposition; there is no further parental care. Habitat and conservation The species' natural habitats are small streams in primary and secondary Secondary may refer to: Science and nature * Secondary emission, of particles ** Secondary electrons, electrons generated as ionization products * The secondary winding, or the electrical or electronic circuit connecte ...

Hylodes Perere
''Hylodes perere'' is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil and only known from Serra Negra, a part of Mantiqueira Mountains, in Santa Bárbara do Monte Verde, Minas Gerais state. The specific name ''perere'' (from Portuguese ''pererê'') is derived from a character in Indian folklore who guards the forest, disrupting its silence with its whistles—in reference to the vocalizations of this species. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. The snout is truncated in both dorsal and lateral views. The dorsum and dorsal portions of thighs are light olive-brown with dark blotches. There are dark stripes in the thighs. Males are territorial and call in forest-covered stretches of streams, perched on rocks, branches, stream marginss, or partly submerged in the water. They both day and night; this is unusual as other ''Hylodes'' species call by daytime only. Habitat The species has been collected by small streams at elevations of ab ...
