Methods

Tadpole sampling was performed using a wire mesh dipnet (3 mm2 mesh size) sweeping all available microhabitats for tadpoles (e.g. water column and edge of ponds with and without vegetation) from the floor to the surface. The number of sweeps varied according to the size of the breeding habitat since a large number of sweeps in larger breeding habitats reduces the risk of missing species that may have been concentrated in one area. Collected tadpoles were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and were deposited at theAmphibian Collection (DZSJRP- UNESP S?o Jos? ? do Rio Preto Brazil) Grass species sampled by visual estimative cover (in %) in 80 1m? plots for in 3 years (2014-2016). Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NA
