This species has the skin of the skull co-ossified and reproduces\u2014including calling behavior, egg deposition and tadpole development\u2014in water-filled tree or bamboo cavities (Duellman & Trueb 1976; Duellman 1978). Given its secretive behavior, this is a poorly known species and, as noted by Duellman (1978: 169), \u201cthe major clue to the life history of Nyctimantis is the calling behavior of the males\u201d. Unfortunately, the only quantitative description of the advertisement call of N. rugiceps is a brief passage in Duellman (1978) based on four specimens from Santa Cecilia, Ecuador, where important variables are missing (e.g., call duration). More importantly, graphs illustrating the waveform and spectrogram are missing. Considering these limitations and the importance of advertisement calls to the study of anurans (K\u00f6hler et al. 2017), we provide a quantitative description using a call recording obtained in Leticia, Amazonas, Colombia.","type_name":"Journal Article","journal_abbreviation":"Zootaxa","pmid":null,"info_url":"https:\/\/bio.acousti.ca\/node\/53439"}]}
