Abstract | Anurans are considered extremely important animals for the food web, since they act as predators and prey for several animal species (Duellman and Trueb, 1994). The Neotropical rainfrogs of the genus Pristimantis (Terrarana: Craugastoridae) are distributed from Honduras through Central America and through Colombia and Ecuador to Peru, Bolivia, northern Argentina, and Amazonian and Atlantic Forests of Brazil, and in the Guianas, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, and the Lesser Antilles (Frost, 2016). These frogs are commonly found on the forest floor and on vegetation, and possess direct development (Heinicke et al., 2007; Hedges et al., 2008; Duellman and Lehr, 2009), which makes them independent of water bodies for oviposition or larval development. They are commonly found throughout the year among the leaf-litter or perched on shrubs up to two meters high, in habitats ranging from upland sites not subject to flooding to seasonally flooded areas (Duellman, 2005). | pt_BR |
