, 21: 35 h (air temperature not recorded) consist of a high-pitched trill-like call composed of multiple very short tonal notes repeated at rather regular intervals and rapid succession. Within calls, usually the last 23 notes are slightly longer in duration when compared to leading notes (4898 vs. 1233 ms), and amplitude is modulated among notes, with call energy steadily increasing from the first to the last note of the call. Each note exhibits an upward frequency modulation, which is only very slightly expressed in the short notes, but more distinct in the last 23 notes of the call, comprising a shift in frequency ~ 100 Hz at maximum from beginning to the end of the note. Frequency modulation across the entire call may show some slight downward shift (Fig.

). Numerical parameters of four analyzed calls from different individuals are as follows: call duration 9211218 ms (1134.3 ± 142.6 ms); notes / call 2533 (29.0 ± 3.4); note duration 1298 ms (29.1 ± 22.6 ms); inter-note interval 1731 ms (21.7 ± 4.1 ms); note repetition rate within calls varies between ca. 2630 notes / second; dominant frequency 51745507 Hz (5367 ± 144 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 48005700 Hz.

) from Marojejy. As typical for all tadpoles of the group, the larvae belong to the “ suctorial ” ecomorphological guild. They have a large oral disk used to adhere to stones in fast-flowing water, a labial tooth row formula of 7 (5-7) / 3, and large numbers of oral papillae (234 marginal and 430 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by presence of a lateral transparent area of the integument surrounding the body.

) from Ranomafana. As typical for all tadpoles of the group, the larvae belong to the “ suctorial ” ecomorphological guild. They have a large oral disk used to adhere to stones in fast-flowing water, a labial tooth row formula of 7 (5-7) / 3, and large numbers of oral papillae (297 marginal and 309 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by absence of a lateral transparent area of the integument, tail muscle covered by reticulations mainly on the anterior half, and eyes situated between the anterior 3 / 10 and 4 / 10 of the body.

(ca. 2223 ° C air temperature) consist of multiple tonal notes of medium duration, repeated at regular intervals. In each call, the first note is always lower in dominant frequency (46404895 Hz) compared to subsequent notes (55285668 Hz). Moreover, the first 35 notes of each call have a lower relative amplitude than subsequent notes. Each note exhibits a distinct upward frequency modulation, encompassing a shift in dominant frequency range of about 700 Hz from the beginning to the end of the note. Within calls, notes tend to become slightly longer in duration from the beginning to the end of the call. Call energy is distributed in a narrow frequency band. Numerical parameters of four analyzed calls are as follows: call duration 20362355 ms (2170.0 ± 165.8 ms); notes / call 1618 (16.8 ± 0.9); note duration 60105 ms (75.7 ± 10.0 ms); inter-note interval 4565 ms (54.0 ± 5.2 ms); note repetition rate within calls varies between ca. 6.58.2 notes / second; dominant frequency 55385604 Hz (5567 ± 34 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 46006100 Hz.

) from Ambinanitelo. As typical for all tadpoles of the group, the larvae belong to the “ suctorial ” ecomorphological guild. They have a large oral disk used to adhere to stones in fast-flowing water, a labial tooth row formula of 7 (5-7) / 3, and large numbers of oral papillae (258 marginal and 522 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by presence of a (poorly recognizable) lateral transparent area of the integument, and absence of dark (melanophoric) pigment on the tail.

(24 ° C air temperature) consist of multiple notes (almost tonal in character, but with some irregular amplitude modulation) of variable duration, repeated at variable intervals. Within calls, note duration and inter-note intervals become longer from the beginning to the end of the call. Each note exhibits upward frequency modulation, which is most expressed in the last note (comprising a frequency shift of about 300 Hz) and much less in the first notes of the call. Overall frequency of the call exhibits a slight drop from the beginning to the end of about 200 Hz from the first notes compared to the last note (Fig.

). However, in some calls the first 23 notes exhibit a lower frequency than subsequent ones. Each note is amplitude modulated with maximum call energy usually present somewhere in the first half of the notes duration. Numerical parameters of four analyzed calls are as follows: call duration 15492168 ms (1877.0 ± 311.2 ms); notes / call 1012 (10.7 ± 1.2); note duration 44220 ms (89.8 ± 44.5 ms); inter-note interval 41162 ms (72.6 ± 31.7 ms); dominant frequency 48905332 Hz (5125 ± 222 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 40005600 Hz.

(air temperature not recorded), consist of multiple tonal notes, sounding like whistles. Within calls, inter-note intervals become longer from the beginning to the end of the call. All notes exhibit a distinct upward frequency modulation, with a frequency shift comprising approximately 400 Hz. The first note of each call is lower in relative amplitude when compared to subsequent notes. Amplitude modulation within notes is only slightly expressed (most distinct in first note), with increasing amplitude reaching its maximum at the second half of the notes duration. Numerical parameters of nine analyzed calls of three different individuals (among them call vouchers

). As typical for all tadpoles of the group, the larvae belong to the “ suctorial ” ecomorphological guild. They have a large oral disk used to adhere to stones in fast-flowing water, a labial tooth row formula of 7 (5-7) / 3, and large numbers of oral papillae (222 marginal and 315 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by a pattern of several rounded patches formed by condensation of spots on the posterior half of the tail musculature.

An arboreal, nocturnal treefrog found in humid rainforests along fast flowing streams. Little is known of the ecology of the species. Many calling individuals of this species are sitting too high in trees to reach, or calling from perches where they are difficult to see and their calls are also often difficult to localize.

, namely calls starting with a short series of short, fast repeated notes, followed by three distinctly longer notes, which are separated by longer intervals. All notes are tonal in character, with long notes exhibiting a distinct upward frequency modulation, with a frequency shift comprising approximately 300 Hz. Amplitude across the entire call is slightly increasing, with the first short notes being relatively soft. Long notes have the maximum call energy in the middle of the note, but amplitude modulation within notes is somewhat irregular. Numerical parameters of two analyzed calls of different individuals are as follows: call duration 11291222 ms; notes / call 78; short note duration 3051 ms (34.7 ± 7.5 ms); long note duration 147259 ms (199.7 ± 44.7 ms); inter-note interval 19179 ms (62.5 ± 55.9 ms); dominant frequency 41184347 Hz (4258 ± 82 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 38004500 Hz.

Numerical parameters of two analyzed calls of the 1994 recording are as follows: call duration 7641030 ms; notes / call 78; short note duration 1549 ms (27.8 ± 10.6 ms); long note duration 142231 ms (176.5 ± 38.1 ms); inter-note interval 2261 ms (35.8 ± 14.1 ms); dominant frequency 42894441 Hz (4369 ± 64 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 40004700 Hz.

, namely a series of rather short, quickly repeated notes, followed by 23 distinctly longer notes separated by slightly longer intervals. All notes are tonal in character and exhibit a distinct upward frequency modulation, with a frequency shift comprising 400500 Hz in long notes and about half that in short notes. Amplitude across the entire call is increasing, with the first short notes being relatively soft, reaching maximum call energy at about one third of the calls duration. Within notes, no distinct amplitude modulation is recognizable. Numerical parameters of three analyzed calls of different individuals are as follows: call duration 15541832 ms (1673.3 ± 143.1 ms); notes / call 1921 (20.3 ± 1.2); short note duration 2453 ms (34.4 ± 6.6 ms); long note duration 112200 ms (157.9 ± 26.8 ms); inter-note interval 2596 ms (41.1 ± 17.5 ms); note repetition rate of short notes within the call vary around 16 calls / second; dominant frequency 49035444 Hz (5267 ± 152 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 42005600 Hz.

(air temperature not recorded) consist of a series of comparatively long tonal notes of variable duration, emitted at somewhat irregular intervals. Within calls, the first (and sometimes also the last) note is longest in duration. Amplitude is modulated within notes, with maximum call energy being present at each notes end. Each note exhibits an upward frequency modulation comprising a shift in frequency of ~ 400 Hz at maximum from beginning to the end of the note. Numerical parameters of two analyzed calls are as follows: call duration 23582846 ms; notes / call 45; note duration 238604 ms (347.6 ± 118.2 ms); inter-note interval 206639 ms (304.3 ± 152.5 ms); dominant frequency 26872996 Hz (2865 ± 111 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 21003300 Hz; harmonic frequency bands are evident at around 6000, 9000, and 12000 Hz.
