Abstract

In recent years, the glass frogs have been model species for diverse studies related to ecology, evolution, and systematics, among other associated characteristics. However, regarding defensive behaviours few studies describe the antipredatory strategies that they can exhibit. In this work, we document two defensive behaviors that have not been reported for the genus Nymphargus and one of these, is the first record for the Centrolenidae family.
