Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Call description. The advertisement call of Dendropsophus bilobatus (Fig. 6) consists of single- or multiple-note calls emitted regularly in series of 7 - 35 calls (19 + / - 9, N = 12). The most common arrangements are the single-note call (N = 181) and the two-note call (N = 58), while the rarest are the three-note (N = 1) and four-note calls (N = 1). Single-note calls have a call duration of 12 - 24 ms (8.2 + / - 3, N = 30), an inter-call interval of 483 - 1,284 ms (751 + / - 201, N = 30), and a call period of 503 - 1,302 ms (769 + / - 202, N = 30). Two-note calls have a call-duration of 155 - 199 ms (171 + / - 13, N = 22), an inter-call interval of 437 - 1,347 ms (816 + / - 196, N = 19), and a call period of 612 - 1,542 ms (985 + / - 198, n = 19). Notes in the two-note calls have a note duration of 12 - 22 ms (17 + / - 3, N = 44) and an inter-note interval of 126 - 165 ms (137 + / - 11, N = 22). The notes of both single- and multiple-note calls consist of 3 - 8 pulses (5 + / - 1, N = 74). Pulse duration is 1 - 2 ms (1.2 + / - 0.4, N = 30), inter-pulse intervals are 1 - 2 ms (1.5 + / - 0.4, N = 30). The high-pitched calls are emitted with a dominant frequency of 8,979 - 9,606 Hz (9,274 + / - 195, N = 52) and have a bandwidth of 7328 - 11517 Hz (N = 33).
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Dendropsophus bilobatus is officially designated as Unknown. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, wetland, freshwater, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of nocturnal beetles, plant flies, moths, and small insects. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a primarily nocturnal activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem. The species has a typical natural lifespan of approximately 6 years, allowing it to adapt and mature through structured generational cycles.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Dendropsophus bilobatus.
