Journal ArticleDOI
Size-Dependent Selective Mechanisms on Males and Females and the Evolution of Sexual Size Dimorphism in Frogs
TL;DR: The data indicate that the fecundity advantage associated with female body size may not be linear, such that intermediate and large females benefit less with body size increases, and underscores the fact that lineage-specific ecology and behavior should be incorporated in comparative analyses of animal SSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyandry, Predation, and the Evolution of Frog Reproductive Modes*
TL;DR: It is proposed that sexual selection—and not only natural selection due to predation—favors terrestrial breeding by reducing the loss of fitness due to polyandry, and intrasexual selection has been an underappreciated mechanism promoting diversification of frog reproductive modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat use, reproductive traits and social interactions in a stream-dweller treefrog endemic to the Brazilian Cerrado
TL;DR: It is described, for the first time for the genus, a complex courtship behaviour and also male-male fight and satellite behaviour in Bokermannohyla ibitiguara.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Call with Different Messages in Bokermannohyla ibitiguara (Anura, Hylidae), a Gladiator Frog of the Brazilian Cerrado
TL;DR: The influence of male size and temperature on call properties and the social contexts of the different notes of the call are described and the results suggest that females may choose males based on dominant frequency and duration of the long note, traits that might be under sexual selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topography, more than land cover, explains genetic diversity in a Neotropical savanna tree frog
TL;DR: In this article, the relative roles of land cover and topographic variables on the population genetic differentiation and diversity of a stream-breeding savanna tree frog (Bokermannohyla ibitiguara) across its range were quantified.
