Euparkerella robusta
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Euparkerella robusta is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the state of Espírito Santo in southeastern Brazil.[1][2] It has been recorded from the municipality of Mimoso do Sul (type locality) and the neighboring Atílio Vivacqua.[3] Common name Izecksohn's Guanabara frog has been proposed for it.[2]
Description
The body is robust. Adult males measure Script error: No such module "convert". in snout–vent length. It is a large member of its genus; it differs from the other large species, Euparkerella tridactyla, by its longer fingers.[3]
The male advertisement call consists of a single note comprising 5–8 long pulses repeated periodically. The pulses are relatively long and have a whistle-like character (as opposed to short snaps in other Euparkerella). The call duration is 1.3–2.2 seconds and the dominant frequency is 2.9–3.2 kHz.[3]
Habitat and conservation
Euparkerella robusta occurs in leaf litter in primary and secondary forest. Development is direct[1] (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[4]).
It is reasonably common at the type locality. Habitat loss caused by agriculture, logging, and human settlement is a concern. At time of the most recent IUCN assessment, it was not known to occur in any protected area.[1] However, the locality in Atílio Vivacqua, Serra das Torres,[3] could overlap with the Serra das Torres Natural Monument.
