Leptodactylus chaquensis (Anura, Leptodactylidae) as a predator of Pseudis platensis (Anura, Hylidae) in southern Brazil
Frogs from the Family Leptodactylidae are among the most important opportunistic feeders on other anuran species. Here we report a case of predation of Pseudis platensis by the Cei’s white-lipped frog Leptodactylus chaquensis in breeding habitat from agricultural landscape, southern Brazil.
Keywords: aquatic frog, breeding season, opportunistic predation, prey, terrestrial frog.
