Mating Patterns of Red-Eyed Treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas and A. moreletii
Male frogs may mate several times throughout a breeding season; however, energy and time constraints of producing mature eggs severely limit breeding opportunities for a female (Berven 1981; Andersson 1994). Male competition for females is expected because the operational sex ratio is malebiased (Emlen 1976; Kvarnemo & Ahnesjö 1996). Yet anisogamy dictates that females are usually the choosier ...
متن کاملEffects of different UV and calcium provisioning on health and fitness traits of red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas)
Article history: Received: 7 March 2014 Accepted: 17 July 2014 Published online: 31 July 2014 Abstract In response to global amphibian declines and extinctions, the IUCN has recommended the establishment of ex situ conservation breeding programmes. However, there are a limited number of studies that scientifically assess amphibian husbandry practices, even at a basic level of nutrition and ligh...
متن کاملImpact of Plant Cover on Fitness and Behavioural Traits of Captive Red-Eyed Tree Frogs (Agalychnis callidryas)
Despite the importance of ex situ conservation programmes as highlighted in the Amphibian Conservation Action Plan, there are few empirical studies that examine the influence of captive conditions on the fitness of amphibians, even for basic components of enclosure design such as cover provision. Maintaining the fitness of captive amphibian populations is essential to the success of ex situ con...
متن کاملEx situ Diet Influences the Bacterial Community Associated with the Skin of Red-Eyed Tree Frogs (Agalychnis callidryas)
Amphibians support symbiotic bacterial communities on their skin that protect against a range of infectious pathogens, including the amphibian chytrid fungus. The conditions under which amphibians are maintained in captivity (e.g. diet, substrate, enrichment) in ex situ conservation programmes may affect the composition of the bacterial community. In addition, ex situ amphibian populations may ...
