Abstract

Our goal was to assess the species composition, reproductive modes and conservation status of the anurans of Araucaria Forest and Atlantic Rain Forest in the Campina Grande do Sul (CGS) and Bocaiuva do Sul (BS), in the state of Parana, Brazil. The list of species was assembled based on field and museum records. We recorded 35 species that showed 11 different reproductive modes. Thirty five species occurred in CGS and 20 in BS, one species is classified as “data deficient” under the IUCN criteria while just two species hold this classification within the state. Amphibian richness in these areas correspond to 24% of the known species diversity known for Parana. Species richness and community composition correspond to the regional phytophysiognomy and local environmental heterogeneity.
