Feeding ecology of endemic frogs of the Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil (original) (raw)

Abstract

Our objective was to describe and compare the diet of endemic anurans of the Atlantic Forest, as well as to evaluate the infl uence of biotic factors on the trophic ecology of the species. We conducted the study in Mananciais da Serra (Piraquara-PR), a transition region between mixed and dense ombrophilous forest, between January 2019
