PREDATION OF THE RED-EYED TREEFROG Agalychnis callidryas (ANURA: HYLIDAE) BY THE CENTRAL AMERICAN BULLFROG Leptodactylus savagei (ANURA: LEPTODACTYLIDAE), COSTA RICA

We report the first event of predation of the Red-eyed Treefrog Agalychnis callidryas by the Central American Bullfrog Leptodactylus savagei in Costa Rica. Although both species inhabit similar environments, the habitat use and microenvironments differ, and there is also spatial segregation. Therefore, this could be an opportunistic event and possibly related to the breeding season of A. callidryas. This note adds to the knowledge of the predation, diet and interactions of both species.

Abstract

We report the first event of predation of the Red-eyed Treefrog Agalychnis callidryas by the Central American Bullfrog Leptodactylus savagei in Costa Rica. Although both species inhabit similar environments, the habitat use and microenvironments differ, and there is also spatial segregation. Therefore, this could be an opportunistic event and possibly related to the breeding season of A. callidryas. This note adds to the knowledge of the predation, diet and interactions of both species.
