Geographical Variation in Morphological and Bioacoustic Traits of Pseudopaludicola mystacalis (Cope, 1887) and a Reassessment of the Taxonomic Status of Pseudopaludicola serrana Toledo, 2010 (Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae)

Table 3

Measurements of bioacoustic variables of the advertisement calls of specimens of Pseudopaludicola mystacalis from 12 localities in seven Brazilian states (CE: Ceará; GO: Goiás; MA: Maranhão; MT: Mato Grosso; PA: Pará; PI: Piauí; SP: São Paulo). Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation (minimum–maximum). : number of notes analyzed.
