Abstracts

We studied the richness and distribution of anuran species on different breeding sites at the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin (13° 50' S and 39° 10' W, approximately 90-400 m above sea level), Municipality of Igrapiúna, Bahia State, Brazil. The reserve includes fragments of Atlantic Rain Forest varying from 140 to 650 ha. Five types of environments were sampled: leaf litter inside forest fragments, streams inside forest fragments, dam on the edge of forest fragment, temporary pond inside forest, and temporary ponds inside banana and rubber groves along the eastern boundary of the reserve. We used active and passive sampling methods for surveys of amphibians, between March 2007 and December 2008. We captured 48 species distributed in 10 families (number of species in parentheses): Aromobatidae (1), Brachycephalidae (4), Bufonidae (2), Craugastoridae (1), Centrolenidae (1), Cycloramphidae (3), Hylidae (29), Leiuperidae (1), Leptodactylidae (3), and Microhylidae (3). Temporary ponds presented the highest number of species in reproductive activity (19 species in native forested areas, and 21 in plantation areas), while leaf litter presented the lowest (6 species). Two species were found in bromeliads (Phyllodytes melanomystax and P. luteolus). Twenty-two species were exclusive to fragments of forest, 11 were found only in anthropized areas (dam, and rubber and banana plantations) and 15 in both environments. Aplastodiscus cavicola and Dendropsophus giesleri had their geographic distribution extended to the State of Bahia. Phasmahyla timbo and Chiasmocleis cordeiroi known only from their type localities were found in the reserve.

Introduction

In the Neotropical region, the loss of habitat and the fragmentation of natural environments are consequences of extensive agriculture, among other causes (Whitmore 1997). Although little information is available on the distribution of organisms in cultivated environments, it is known that the richness and abundance of animal species are strongly influenced by the size and the surrounding natural environments (Bernnett et al. 2006). Regarding the Atlantic Rain Forest, such fragments play an important role in the conservation of biodiversity due to the high levels of endemism observed in this biome, currently threatened by the loss of habitat generated mainly by urbanization and agriculture (Morellato & Haddad 2000).

In this context, the loss of natural resources is a significant concern with regard to the anuran fauna (Duellman 1999). The Atlantic Rain Forest houses approximately 400 species of anurans, which comprises almost 50% of all the species known to occur in Brazil (Silvano & Segalla 2005, Haddad et al. 2008). Probably, such species richness is supported by the heterogeneity of environments and the variety of microhabitats found in that biome (Cardoso et al. 1989).

The availability of aquatic environments is crucial for the reproduction of most anuran species and the type of aquatic environment could determine their reproductive modes (Duellman & Trueb 1986). In the reproductive period, anurans can use ponds, lakes, bogs, streams, and phytothelms, comprising 39 different reproductive modes, 27 of them found in the Atlantic Rain Forest (Haddad & Prado 2005).

The southern coast of the State of Bahia is located within the Atlantic Forest Domain (Ab'Sáber 1977), one of the 25 world hotspots for biodiversity conservation (Myers et al. 2000) and divided into three political regions: "Baixo Sul" (14 municipalities), "Litoral Sul" (27 municipalities), and "Extremo Sul" (21 municipalities) (Secretaria ... 2010). Silvano & Pimenta (2003) found 115 species in southern Bahia (which encompasses 107 municipalities in the definition they used), and Carnaval et al. (2009) observed a higher genetic diversity in the populations of this region when compared to populations of other parts of the Atlantic Rain Forest.

Publication of species lists has been fundamental for the understanding of the biodiversity and potentialities of Neotropical forests (Duellman 1999, Silvano & Segalla 2005). Moreover, it is difficult to plan conservation strategies without the minimum knowledge regarding the local species composition (Santos 2003).

This study aimed to inventory the anuran species of the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin located in the Municipality of Igrapiúna, "Baixo Sul" of the State of Bahia, Brazil, mainly within potential breeding sites.

Material and Methods

1. Study area

The Reserva Ecológica da Michelin is located in the Municipality of Igrapiúna, State of Bahia, Brazil (13° 50' S and 39° 10' W, 90 to 383 m above sea level), in a region known as "Baixo Sul", 200 km South from the State capital city of Salvador. Rainfall occurs throughout the year and largely varies between years (K. Flesher, pers. comm.). Mean annual precipitation in the reserve over the last 10 years was approximately 2000 mm, temperature ranged from 21.7 to 30.8 °C, and air humidity between 80 and 85%. During the study period intense precipitation occurred between February and May (rainy season) and low precipitations between October and January (dry season; Lima & Juncá 2009).

The reserve comprises two fragments of Atlantic Rain Forest of 325 and 650 ha under different stages of regeneration. The major fragment is part of a 13.000 ha Atlantic Forest patch and the other one is the sum of three distinct but connected areas. Rubber (Havea brasiliensis), cacao (Theobroma cacao), and banana plantations (Musa sp.), and a mixed tree crop groves with some manioc are also part of the landscape. The following habitats were investigated:

Temporary ponds in forest fragments: two ponds were sampled. The largest pond had up to 50 cm depth, area of approximately 180 m², and was surrounded by grass, shrubs, and 10 m high trees (Figure 1a). When fully filled with water (September and October 2007; June and July 2008) it presented muddy bottom, and when empty deposits of organic matter from leaf and plant decomposition. The smallest pond was located at the forest edge and was fully filled with water only in July 2008. It was surrounded by large trees and shrubs, presented sandy bottom, depth up to 25 cm, and area of approximately 16 m².

Temporary ponds in plantations: these were sampled in plantations of rubber trees (shaded, n = 1), banana (open area, n = 1, Figure 1b), and abandoned or rarely used roads (shaded, n = 2). The area and depth of the ponds varied from 3 m² and 30 cm to 180 m² and 70 cm, respectively.

Streams: seven slow-flowing streams located inside the forest (Figures 1c, 1d). Bottoms always presented rocks and other elements varying from sand to mud. The deepest stream was up to 50 cm approximately, and width varied from 90 to 250 cm. Portions from 25 to 100 m were sampled.

Permanent pond in open area: one artificial dam surrounded by grass and shrubs (Figure 1f), presenting muddy bottom, area of 600 m², and up to 2 m depth.

2. Specimens sampling

Two to three researchers sampled the area by active and passive (pitfall traps) methods. Active methods were employed on two to four nights from August 2007 to July 2008, and in December 2008, lasting from five to eight hours each night. Specimens were sampled in forest fragments and cultivated areas, mainly near waterbodies, which represented breeding sites for most species. Tadpoles were sampled during the day in all types of waterbodies, in forested and non-forested areas. Species identification was based on part of a lot of the tadpoles collected, which was maintained in captivity in a plastic box with about 3 L of water, where they were fed on until metamorphosis was completed. One temporary and one permanent pond were monthly sampled between August 2007 and July 2008. Other places were sampled irregularly, with more effort during the wet periods.

In order to capture leaf litter frogs, eighty pitfall traps (30 L plastic buckets with drift fence of 3 m long; Figure 1e) were installed inside two forest fragments at distinct areas from those of active sampling. Eight sampling units (SU) were placed at least 2 km from each other (three SU inside the 650 ha fragment and 5 in the 325 ha fragment). Each sampling unit contained 10 pitfall traps separated from each other by 10 m using an "L" design (the drift fence did not extend from one plastic bucket to other one). Such traps were kept active during 10 consecutive days in the months of March, May, July, September, and December 2007, totalizing an effort of 1200 hours (or 800 pitfall traps-night x excursion). All voucher specimens were deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (MZUEFS) (Apendix 1).

Results

Forty-eight species distributed into 10 families were registered (Table 1). Among the species sampled by active methods (n = 46), Vitreorana sp. (Centrolenidae) and Aplastodiscus cf. sibilatus (Hylidae) were captured exclusively in larval stages. Thirteen species belonging to 8 families were captured in the pitfall traps, all of them also captured by active methods, except by Ischnocnema paulodutrai and I. bilineata.

Thumbnail

Among the habitats sampled by active methods, temporary ponds inside forest and plantations (rubber and banana) presented the highest number of species in reproductive activity (19 and 21 species, respectively), while leaf litter presented the lowest number (6 species). Two species were found in epiphytes and terrestrial bromeliads (Phyllodytes melanomystax and P. luteolus, Figures 2j and 2k, respectively). Scinax x-signatus (Figure 2h) demonstrated high environmental plasticity, occurring in permanent and temporary ponds in open and forested areas (Table 1). On the other hand, 25 species were restricted to one type of habitat and environment (Table 1), of which only Hypsiboas atlanticus (Figure 2b), Hypsiboas semilineatus (Figure 2e), and Scinax aff. alter (Figure 3l) occurred outside native forest. Twenty-two species were exclusively found inside the forest, 11 only in anthropized areas (open areas and rubber plantations) and 15 in both environments.

Among taxa identified to the specific level, 35% are currently categorized as decreasing, 33% as stable, and 16% have their status of conservation unknown (International... 2009; Table 1).

Remarks on Geographic Distribution

Bokermanohyla capra (Figure 3c), Ischnocnema bilineata, I. paulodutrai, I. vinhai (Figure 4j), and Hylomantis aspera (Figure 2g) are endemic to the State of Bahia (Napoli & Pimenta 2009, Juncá & Pimenta 2004, Pimenta & Juncá 2004, Peixoto & Pimenta 2004, Silvano & Pimenta 2004, respectively). Phasmahyla timbo and Chiasmocleis cordeiroi, also endemics to the Bahia State, were previously known only from their type localities in the municipalities of Amargosa (150 km North from Igrapiúna) and Camamu (14 km South from Igrapiúna), respectively. Aplastodiscus cavicola (Figure 2a) was known only for the States of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo (Cruz et al. 2004), and Dendropsophus giesleri (Figure 2f) for the States of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo (Carvalho-e-Silva & Telles 2004). The records of both species in the Municipality of Igrapiúna extend their distributions approximately 700 km Northwards.

Discussion

Silvano & Pimenta (2003) studied 21 Atlantic Rainforest remnants in 19 municipalities from Southern Bahia and registered 115 species of anurans, a very expressive number, which correspond to almost 25% of the total anuran richness for the Tropical Atlantic Forest (Haddad et al. 2008). Among the localities they sampled, the area with the highest species richness was the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Estação Veracel (formerly RPPN Estação Veracruz; see Pimenta et al. 2007), Municipality of Porto Seguro, with 39 species. In that work, the sampled localities closer to the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin are situated in the municipalities of Cairu, Nilo Peçanha, and Camamu, where they found 18, 23, and 32 species, respectively. Although species richness were smaller than that found at Igrapiúna, the sum of these three localities results in 40 species, a number close to that observed at the Reserva Michelin. It is important to note that the sampling developed by Silvano & Pimenta (2003) lasted four nights in each of these fragments and only active searches were used. Also, the habitats investigated in Cairu were represented mainly by arboreal "restinga" (see Pimenta et al. 2009), an habitat very distinct from those found at the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin. Thus, the larger number of species found at the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin possibly is the result of the larger effort on active searches, the use of pitfall traps, and the different habitats and environments sampled. Even so, many species found in the localities sampled by Silvano & Pimenta (2003) were not found at the Reserva da Michelin and vice-versa, showing that when we consider the anuran richness of this region as a whole, levels of diversity and endemism are very high.

The high number of anuran species (n = 35) occurring in only one type of breeding site (temporary ponds) is related to the reproductive modes of these species, which limit the use of some habitats and microhabitats (Bertoluci & Rodrigues 2002). Based on the tadpoles sampled and on calling sites, only Dendropsophus branneri, D. elegans, Hypsiboas crepitans, Phyllomedusa burmeisteri, Scinax eurydice, S. x-signatus, and Leptodactylus latrans used more than one breeding site (temporary and permanent ponds). Species found breeding in streams were exclusive to this environment.

Some habitats and environments at the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin were not surveyed in this study (e.g. bamboo areas and canopy), or had a little sampling effort (bromeliads). Sampling effort standardization including such environments could increase anuran richness in this reserve.

Sixty seven percent of the species captured in the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin are currently categorized as "Least Concern" (LC), 17% as "Data Deficient" (DD), and 13% have their conservation status unknown (International... 2009, Table 1). Most LC species is highly tolerant to environmental degradation or is known by its success in several types of environments. Allobates olfersioides (Figure 4a) was the only species characterized as "Vulnerable" (VU: Verdade 2008) and Aplastodiscus cavicola (Figure 2a) as "Near Threatened" (NT; Cruz et al. 2004). Conservation status of both species was defined according to geographical distribution covering areas where habitat quality is threatened due to deforestation and agricultural development. Moreover, none of the species recorded in this study were listed as threatened by Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA) (Haddad 2008), although the method employed to define the species status conservation was the same used by IUCN (Haddad 2008).

Finally, a considerable percentage (45.3%) of the species captured in the Reserva Ecológica da Michelin is endemic to the Atlantic Rain Forest, two of them previously known only from the type locality. Despite controversy between IUCN and MMA species frog conservation status, in this study one species was considered Vulnerable and another Near Threatened (International... 2009). These results emphasize the importance of these forest fragments for the preservation of Atlantic Rainforest frog species.
