BLANCO-TORRES, Argelina; DURE, Marta  and  BONILLA, María A.. Observations about the diet of Elachistocleis pearsei and Elachistocleis panamensis in two disturbed areas of northern lowlands of Colombia. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2015, vol.86, n.2, pp.538-540.

The diet of 2 species of Elachistocleis in the lowlands of Northern Colombia is described. Due to the characteristics of their diet (composition, volume, average number of prey per stomach, and the records of another related species) E. pearsei and E. panamensis are active foragers, and termite-and ant-eating specialists.

Keywords : Trophic ecology; Active foraging; Microhylidae; Tropical dry forest.
