Resumen:
The anuran biodiversity and richness of a frog community inhabiting
rice fields in northeastern Argentina was surveyed and
analyzed. The samples were taken between October 2001 and
June 2003. Twenty six species of amphibians were identified in
five microhabitats: rice fields per se, ditches and paths, natural
vegetation, aquatic vegetation and gullies. The natural vegetation
was the most diverse of the microhabitats, while gullies
were the poorest in species. The amphibian species of three of
the microhabitats adjusted to the logarithmic range-abundance
model, one to the geometric and one to the broken stick model.
The data suggest that rice cropping in northeastern Argentina, if
properly managed, can support a diverse anuran fauna.
