Amphibian declines and extinctions have been recorded since the late 1980s and the main causes are modification and fragmentation of habitats, infectious diseases, invasive species, chemical pollution and climate change. All these factors are caused directly or indirectly by man. Brazil has the largest diversity of amphibians in the world and it is still necessary to understand how these …
Climate change represents one of the greatest global challenges, affecting ecosystems and species. Among its main impacts are rising global average temperatures and the intensification of extreme weather events, such as heat waves. Amphibians, due to their ectothermy and permeable skin, are among the most vulnerable groups, experiencing population declines linked to emerging diseases and …
Animal communication is defined by sending encoded signals from a sender to a receiver. The most studied modalities of animal communication are acoustic and visual displays. In anuran amphibians, the study of acoustics is established, as it occurs in most species. However, visual displays have frequently been recorded recently. This behaviour has been recorded in agonistic contexts such a…
Among the vast vocal repertoire of frogs, the advertisement call is the most emitted and studied type of vocalization. Males emit this call, primarily, to attract females, however, this call has a secondary function in mediating intrasexual interactions. Through it, males can assess the physical traits of neighboring males, mediate aggressive interactions, protect territories and maintain…

The advertisement call is the most conspicuous and frequent call emitted by anurans during the breeding season. This call is primarily associated with reproduction, as males use it to attract potential mates. However, it also plays a key role in regulating intrasexual agonistic interactions. Through this call, males can assess the physical characteristics of neighboring males, mediate agg…
Understanding how species lineages dispersed over evolutionary time is a central question in historical biogeography. Biological traits, such as the ability perform visual signals can play a significant role in determining species distribution. These signals used for attracting mates or displayed territoriality, may increase predation risk, and may negatively affect the long-term dispersa…
