Despite the great diversity of Brazilian anuran species, there are still many knowledge gaps about the acoustic communication of these animals. Among the species, those classified as 'Data Deficient' have the greatest gaps in knowledge on their behavior. This is the case of Boana ericae, a species belonging to the Boana pulchella group, endemic to the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park region, in the northeast of the state of Goiás, Central Brazil. Three distinct call types (A, B, and C) are currently known for B. ericae, with the type A call associated with attracting reproductive partners and the type C call presenting a territorial function. We recorded the vocalizations of 10 individuals of this species and found the presence of vocalizations composing three new note types (D, E, and F). Our results indicate that air temperature and body condition influenced the acoustic parameters of the advertisement and aggressive calls of this species. We also observed that some acoustic parameters of the advertisement calls can be used for individual recognition for showing greater variation among individuals than intra-individually. Our results add new information regarding the vocal repertoire in this species, expanding their known intra-individual classification of the acoustic parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
