OLIVEIRA, Henrique J. et al. New Predation Records on Thoropa miliaris (Anura: Cycloramphidae), with a Review of Known Predators. Rev. latinoam. herpetol. [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.4, e551.  Epub 26-Jun-2023. ISSN 2594-2158.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fc.25942158e.2022.4.551.

The rock river frog Thoropa miliaris (Cycloramphidae) is a saxicolous species endemic to the Atlantic Forest. There is scarce literature on potential predators of this species, which is likely related to the difficulty of recording its predatory interactions. In this paper, we report opportunistic records of predation on T. miliaris by the snake Chironius laevicollis (Colubridae), spiders of the genus Ctenus (Ctenidae), and the bird Furnarius rufus (Furnariidae). In addition, we compiled the reports of predation on T. miliaris from current published data.
