Diet of a bromeligenous species of treefrog in the Brazilian semiarid

Abstract Phyllodytes tuberculosus is a bromeligenous anuran species whose geographic distribution restricted to areas of the Caatinga and transition zones between Atlantic Forest in central-south state Bahia. Its existence close relationship with bromeliads its occurrence dry highly seasonal environments drove us supposition that opportunistic/generalist regard diet. We collected items present stomach 43 P. individuals stomach-flushing method. Of these, 18 contents were obtained during period (April–October), 25 rainy (November–March). recorded nine classes prey, finding greatest relative importance for categories Formicidae Coleoptera season Blattodea (Termites), season. presented varied, possibly opportunistic diet semiarid environments. Additionally, we report an apparent temporal differentiation related typical seasonality. This study adds data on natural history adapted environment narrow distribution.
