AI Article Synopsis
- Bokermannohyla juiju, part of the B. martinsi species group, was initially described from a single male specimen, and this study offers new insights by detailing the species' advertisement call and morphological differences, including data on females.
- The advertisement call is characterized by a single, harmonic, non-pulsed note that males often emit several times; most of the males were found calling from bromeliads.
- Female B. juiju exhibit distinct morphological traits compared to males, such as a less developed prepollex and a non-hypertrophied forearm, along with additional notes on the species' natural history, geographic range, and conservation status.
Article Abstract
Bokermannohyla juiju is a member of the B. martinsi species group and it was described based on one male specimen. In order to enhance the knowledge about the species, we describe its advertisement call and morphological variation, including for the first time data on females. We also provide additional comments about its natural history, geographic distribution, and conservation. The advertisement call of B. juiju consists of a single note, non-pulsed, harmonic structured call emitted several times in a row. Four out of five males were found calling in bromeliads. The female, as it is common in many Bokermannohyla species, presents some morphological features not shared with the males, like a non-hypertrophied forearm and less developed prepollex.
