Diet of Dendropsophus counani (Anura: Hylidae) during breeding season in the Eastern Amazonia

Dendropsophus counani is a rare neotropical treefrog that descend from the canopy of the trees to breed. Due to the low rate of encounter, ecology information is insuficient. The objective of this study was described here its diet composition during breeding season from Eastern Amazon. The stomach c...
