is a dendrobatid, and in some ranid species of frogs. Diet When the tadpoles are in the phytotelm, they will sometimes feed on fallen leaves and microorganisms. Tadpoles tend to obtain nutrients by grazing on algal mats and catching prey in the pools created in the bromeliad. Additionally, sometimes the females lay unfertilized eggs in the phytotelma for the purpose of the eggs to be consumed by the tadpoles for nutritional purposes. It has been observed that larger tadpoles will exhibit cannibalism by eating the smaller tadpoles, however, this is uncommon. Reproduction and Life cycle Breeding occurs year-round but is the highest from June to August. These months are the rainiest, which is beneficial as it fills up the wells created by the phytotelm with water. Reproduction occurs on the plant. Males defend the phytotelm territory, which allows for the female mate to oviposit. Egg provisioning is preceded by courtship. This species is theorized to exhibit long-term pair bonding. Compared to where tadpole rearing occurred, areas, where oviposition was common, tend to have lower temperatures and leaf angles, less water, more dissolved oxygen, and more crabs. This Neotropical species of frog exhibits biparental care. Males tend to have a higher potential reproductive rate than females as they can care for egg clutches from multiple females. Once females accept the site from the calling male, they remain in the phytotelm. The female tends to deposit about 4-6 eggs near the water line. Soon after, the male transports the tadpoles to another phytotelma. Males moisten eggs by squirting fluid from their cloacae when humidity is low. Female parental care in A. beebei has plasticity. This has been noticed in both laboratory settings and in natural conditions when there is an absence of a male caregiver. Plasticity is shown by the female performing the action of the male, which is transporting the tadpoles. Additionally, mothers can lay trophic eggs while repeatedly visiting offspring. Mating Female/Male Interactions This type of frog has different forms of calling meant for different situations. Males use three different types of vocalizations: courtship calls, territorial encounters, and advertisements. When males are in their phytotelmata territory, they try to attract females using long-range advertisement calls. These advertisement calls are composed of three or four high-pitched, short and rapid repeated pulses with 35 millisecond durations. These pulses occur at rates of 10 to 12 pulses per second. Once the females are
