Predator-prey: predation strategies of Leptodactylus macrosternum and defensive behavior of Leptodactylus fuscus
Abstract
Congeneric predation between two Leptodactylus species was recorded and information was collected on the predation strategy of L. macrosternum and the defensive behavior and distress call of L. fuscus. The entire predation event lasted about 90 min and ended when predator tore integument of the prey's ventral region, facilitating swallowing. The distress call description was based on a record of 40 s containing seven calls, consisting of a pulsatile and harmonically complex structure composed of two notes. Although the batrachophagy is well-documented in the genus Leptodactylus, descriptions of predatory and defensive behaviors are not fully described. Thus, the defensive behaviors observed here made predation a physiologically taxing event, while we look at how the predator can use various mechanisms to overcome prey defensive behaviors.
