| Physalaemus aguirrei | |
Physalaemus aguirrei is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and occurs in the southern Bahia, northern Espírito Santo and northeastern Minas Gerais.[2] The specific name aguirrei honours Alvaro Coutinho Aguirre, a Brazilian zoologist.[3] However, common name Linhares dwarf frog has been proposed for it.[2][3]
Habitat and conservation
Physalaemus aguirrei is a ground-living species found in forests, forest edges, degraded habitats, pastures, and swamps[1] at elevations up to 174 m (571 ft) above sea level.[4] It breeds using foam nests in temporary ponds. It is a common species that probably suffers from habitat loss caused by intensive agriculture, wood plantations, livestock grazing, clear-cutting, and human settlement. It is present in several protected areas.[1]
