ABSTRACT Anurans with direct development are among the most difficult species for conducting studies concerning ecology and natural history. This paper provides information on the reproduction of Adelophryne maranguapensis, a threatened species endemic to Serra de Maranguape, an Atlantic Forest relict surrounded by dry Caatinga phytophysiognomies. Our objectives were to identify the reproductive periods, verify any preference for breeding sites, review the reproductive mode and describe parental care. The species reproduces during the rainy season and is not selective as to the species of bromeliad used for oviposition. This is the first report of parental care for the genus since females demonstrate egg attendance until the formation of the gel layer in all the eggs. We revisit the terms that define the reproductive mode of this species and propose the need to redefine it. The redefinition considers: (1) deposition of bromeligen and non-aquatics eggs around the phytotelm; (2) direct development; (3) parental care with egg attendance by the female.

直接发育和受威胁的青蛙 Adelophryne maranguapensis (Anura, Eleutherodactylidae) 的生殖生物学揭示了无尾目蛙的神秘生殖模式和该属的亲代照料的第一个记录

摘要 直接发育的无尾目动物是进行生态学和自然历史研究最困难的物种之一。本文提供了有关 Adelophryne maranguapensis 繁殖的信息，该物种是 Serra de Maranguape 特有的受威胁物种，Serra de Maranguape 是一个被干燥的 Caatinga 植物地貌包围的大西洋森林遗迹。我们的目标是确定繁殖期，验证对繁殖地点的任何偏好，审查繁殖模式并描述父母的照顾。该物种在雨季繁殖，对用于产卵的凤梨科植物没有选择性。这是该属的父母照顾的第一份报告，因为雌性在所有鸡蛋中形成凝胶层之前都表现出鸡蛋出勤率。我们重新审视定义该物种繁殖方式的术语，并提出重新定义它的必要性。重新定义考虑：（1）凤梨原和非水生植物卵在植株周围沉积；(2) 直接开发；(3) 由雌性产卵的父母照顾。
