Abstract

Background: The Mau Son Spiny Frog Quasipaaacanthophora was originally described from Mau Son Mountain, Lang Son Province in 2009 and subsequently recorded in Bac Giang and Quang Ninh Provinces of Vietnam. The species was listed as Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List 2017 and as Endangered in the Vietnam Red Data Book 2024. However, knowledge about diet ecology of the species is virtually lacking.

New information: Based on recent fieldwork in northern Vietnam, we herein report a new population of Quasipaaacanthophora from Dong Son-Ky Thuong Nature Reserve in Quang Ninh Province. In addition, we provide data on the diet of Q.acanthophora, based on stomach content analyses of 38 individuals (10 males, 17 females, 11 subadults). A total of 27 prey categories containing 446 items were found in the stomachs of Q.acanthophora. The dominant prey items of the species were Blattodea, Coleoptera (Other Coleoptera), Orthoptera (Gryllidae), Decapoda and Hymenoptera (Formicidae). The most important (IRI) groups amongst the prey of Q.acanthophora were Blattidae (32.67%), followed by Gryllidae (9.11%), other Coleoptera (6.57%), Decapoda (5.72%) and Formicidae (5.61%).

越南濒危毛山刺蛙（Quasipaaacanthophora Dubois and Ohler, 2009）的新记录和饮食。

背景：茂善刺蛙（Quasipaaacanthophora）最初于2009年在越南谅山省茂善山被发现，随后在越南北江省和广宁省被记录。该物种被列为2017年世界自然保护联盟红色名录中的易危物种，并被列为2024年越南红色数据手册中的濒危物种。然而，关于该物种的饮食生态学知识实际上是缺乏的。新资料：根据最近在越南北部的野外调查，我们报道了广宁省Dong Son-Ky Thuong自然保护区的Quasipaaacanthophora新种群。此外，我们还根据38条个体（10条雄性，17条雌性，11条亚成虫）的胃内容物分析，提供了棘棘刺参的饮食数据。在棘棘棘鼠胃中共发现27类446种猎物。主要捕食目为小蠊目、鞘翅目（其他鞘翅目）、直翅目（灰蝇科）、十翅目和膜翅目（蚁科）。棘蝽的主要捕食类群为扁虫科（32.67%）、灰蝇科（9.11%）、其他鞘翅目（6.57%）、十足目（5.72%）和蚁科（5.61%）。

期刊介绍： Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers. The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
