Abstract

Visual communication is apparently widespread among anurans, but these behaviours in many Neotropical species remain unstudied. We provide the first descriptions of visual displays in males of the Neotropical treefrog Dendropsophus carnifex (Hylidae) from three populations at Mindo, in northwestern Ecuador. We describe hind-foot lifting, foot-flagging, arm waving, toe trembling, body raising, and throat exposure for D. carnifex. All visual displays include exposure of flash colours in hidden surfaces of body and legs. Vocalisations were not emitted simultaneously with visual displays but were intercalated.

新热带树蛙的视觉显示首次报道

摘要视觉交流在无尾目动物中普遍存在，但在许多新热带物种中仍未被研究。本文首次描述了厄瓜多尔西北部Mindo地区三个种群的新热带树蛙(狐猴科)雄性的视觉表现。我们描述了食肉龙的后脚抬起、步履蹒跚、手臂摆动、脚趾颤抖、身体抬起和喉咙暴露。所有的视觉展示都包括暴露身体和腿部隐藏表面的闪光颜色。声音不是与视觉显示同时发出的，而是插入的。

期刊介绍： acta ethologica publishes empirical and theoretical research papers, short communications, commentaries, reviews and book reviews as well as methods papers in the field of ethology and related disciplines, with a strong concentration on the behavior biology of humans and other animals. The journal places special emphasis on studies integrating proximate (mechanisms, development) and ultimate (function, evolution) levels in the analysis of behavior. Aspects of particular interest include: adaptive plasticity of behavior, inter-individual and geographic variations in behavior, mechanisms underlying behavior, evolutionary processes and functions of behavior, and many other topics. acta ethologica is an official journal of ISPA, CRL and the Portuguese Ethological Society (SPE)
