Abstract

ABSTRACT The identity of adults and tadpoles of Ptychadena uzungwensis from the Soutpansberg range in northern South Africa was confirmed using a combination of morphological characters and molecular analysis. Detailed vocalisation analysis was made and used to complement existing species identification methods. This study confirms the presence of P. uzungwensis in South Africa. Sound recordings obtained by way of directional manual recordings were used to analyse call structure and call type while Passive Acoustic Monitoring with Song Meter® technology were used to survey circadian call patterns. Following confirmation of species identity, the detailed vocalisation analysis indicated a much more diverse repertoire than previously known. Three call types were observed with Type A consisting of two or three compressed notes; Type B consisting of a multi-note vocalisation, containing multiple pulses and notes produced in rapid succession; and Type C being a multi-note vocalisation consisting of rapidly released, randomly-spaced single notes. Detailed descriptions of call repertoires, including patterns and call types are useful for species identification and for use in comparison studies.
将Ptychadena uzungwensis(无尾目:Ptychadidae)的名录称为名录,以补充南非Soutpansberg物种的分子和形态鉴定。
摘要采用形态特征和分子分析相结合的方法,对南非南部南潘斯堡地区的uzungwenptychadena uzungwensis成虫和蝌蚪进行了鉴定。详细的发声分析用于补充现有的物种鉴定方法。这项研究证实了南非存在祖格温弧菌。通过定向人工录音获得的录音用于分析呼叫结构和呼叫类型,而使用Song Meter®技术的被动声学监测用于调查昼夜节律呼叫模式。在确认了物种身份之后,详细的发声分析表明,它们的发声能力比以前所知的要多样化得多。观察到三种呼叫类型,A类型由两个或三个压缩音符组成;B型由多音符发声组成,包含快速连续产生的多个脉冲和音符;C型是由快速释放、随机间隔的单音符组成的多音符发声。叫声的详细描述,包括模式和叫声类型,对物种识别和比较研究是有用的。
