Stimulation of breeding of choose frog species in human care.
SRB, Ondřej
The aim of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive stimulation of reproduction for two species of tropical frogs. I choose Epipedobates anthonyi and Ranitomeya lamasi as model organisms. Stimulation was been done by playback recordings of mating calls and mirror, which was placed inside terrarium. I try to perform as most realistic imitation of competitive male as possible. Presence of male should provoke other males to greater reproductive effort. Results of this research show that males may by stimulated and activity increased. Results of this reserch may be used in captive programs of anuras with limited number of available individuals.
