Abstract

Most of Malaysian’s anuran species are nocturnally active, including Pulchrana glandulosa. However, all the studies on the description of this species’ call were done during nocturnal surveys in Sarawak, Borneo. Here we report the diurnal call of this frog from Langkawi Island, Kedah, Peninsular Malaysia. This male frog exhibits two types of calls: repetitive one-note advertisement calls and multiple-note response calls. Anuran bioacoustics can use to monitor the well-being of the environment they occupy. This information is very informative for the conservation management authority and decision-making for conservation purposes. The diurnal call of this frog is a rare discovery and was not yet described in previous records. This research shows us that this frog calls diurnally and nocturnally because its skin secretion has a high toxicity level. Besides that, this frog is well known for its loud “WAHK” call at night. However, the diurnal call is not as rare as one thinks; we need to know the specific spot at a specific time of occurrence. Furthermore, these surveys also need to be done diurnally to minimise the undetected species behaviour as in this study, which is essential for our scientific community.
来自马来西亚半岛吉打兰卡威岛的格兰杜洛沙毛蛙(Anura:Ranidae)(Boulenger,1882)的日间广告和回应电话
大多数马来西亚的无尾熊都在夜间活动,包括腺斑蛙。然而,所有关于该物种呼叫描述的研究都是在婆罗洲沙捞越的夜间调查中进行的。在这里,我们报告这只青蛙的昼夜呼叫从兰卡威岛,吉打州,马来西亚半岛。这只雄蛙表现出两种类型的叫声:重复的单音广告叫声和多音回应叫声。Anuran生物声学可以用来监测它们所处环境的健康状况。这些信息对保护管理当局和保护目的的决策非常有用。这种蛙的昼夜鸣叫是一个罕见的发现,在以前的记录中还没有描述过。这项研究告诉我们,这种青蛙每天和晚上都叫,因为它的皮肤分泌物具有很高的毒性。除此之外,这只青蛙还以在晚上发出响亮的“WAHK”叫声而闻名。然而,每天的呼叫并不像人们想象的那么罕见;我们需要知道具体的地点和具体的发生时间。此外,这些调查还需要每天进行,以尽量减少本研究中未被发现的物种行为,这对我们的科学界至关重要。
