Abstract

ATTADEMO, Andrés Maximiliano et al. Age, size at sexual maturity, longevity, and reproductive potential of Leptodactylus latinasus and Leptodactylus mystacinus in a soybean crop and a native forest from mideastern Argentina. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2014, vol.85, n.1, pp.315-317. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.38361.

Age and size at sexual maturity, longevity, and potential reproductive in 2 anuran species Leptodactylus mystacinus and Leptodactylus latinasus from a soybean crop (CS) and at the natural reserve Parque General San Martín (PGSM) (Entre Ríos-Argentina) were estimated and compared using skeletochronology methods. L. latinasus differed (p< 0.01) in average age between sites. Sexual maturity was not observed in L. latinasus from CS while in L. mystacinus it was reached at 3 years in PGSM and 4 years at CS. Younger anurans of PGSM begin to reproduce earlier respect to findings in soybean crop.

Keywords : soybean crop; skeletochronology; anuran; longevity; sexual maturity.
