Boana prasina (Burmeister)

Boana prasina was found only in the Fontes do Ipiranga State Park ( PEFI) pond. We recorded one male in vocal activity, and six advertisement calls type “A”, containing three notes ( Table 2 ; Figure 7 ; SM I), and the sound is pulsatile ( Köhler et al. 2017). A previous work detected that this species changes call parameters in response to their conspecific B. bischoffi (Manzano et al. 2022) .
