Use of biological resources by Elachistocleis pearsei (Ruthven, 1914) (Anura: Microhylidae) in a lentic ecosystem from the department of Sucre, Colombia
Abstract: The use of resources (diet, time of activity and microhabitat) by Elachistocleis pearsei in a locality of the department of Sucre is described. The non-invasive method used to obtain the digestive tract content showed high effectivity. Results show that this species is an active specialist forager that principally ingests ants, nevertheless diet composition is diverse; its activity is limited to the outskirts of the water source and increases in the season of higher precipitation.
