Rhinella ornata (Spix)

Rhinella ornata was recorded only in Itatiaia National Park (PNI), forming a chorus of dozens of individuals during rainy days. We recorded 49 advertisement calls from six individuals ( Table 2 ; Figure 1 ; SM I). The advertisement call is formed by a long note, with a pulse-repetition sound and absence of silent pauses between pulses ( Köhler et al. 2017).
