observed, of about 70 individuals each. Although the 25 breeding sites were evenly distributed between ponds and streams, the B. prasina tadpoles were only found living in streams. Conservation B. prasina is classified by the IUCN as of Least Concern. Despite this classification, B. prasina has suffered habitat loss due to widespread deforestation in Brazil. A record of frog species observed in the municipalities of Ourinhos, Cornélio Procópio, and Londrina between October 2010 and February 2011 found that when B. prasina was present in the municipality (not the case for Ourinhos) it did not live in urban or agricultural landscapes. It was found at forest edges and forests themselves. It seems B. prasina does not adapt well to anthropogenic landscapes, and thus expansion of those landscapes drives habitat loss. Phylogeny B. prasina belongs to the B. pulchella group and is the name of one of the five clades defined within it. Its closest relatives are B. bischoffi, B. caingua, B. cordobae, B. goiana, B. guentheri, B. marginata, B. phaeopleura, B. prasina, B. pulchella, and one undescribed species. There is genetic support for a common ancestor unifying the B. prasina and B. riojana clades monophyletically. Like B. prasina, many other species within the group have the ability to produce smells. These smells can be produced when handled. Another common trait that unifies the B. prasina clade (and the B. polytaenia clade) is the loss of the fourth posterior tooth row during the larval stage. Home range and territoriality B. prasina does not seem to have any territoriality. While rivalry among males is often a key component of sexual selection, this does not appear to be as present in B. prasina. One study proposed that the calling of B. prasina was an honest communication of the individual male’s health. The study found male B. prasina had a higher calling rate with lower parasite intensity. Diet Tadpoles of B. prasina have fewer labial tooth rows than other tree frog species. Having fewer labial tooth rows may make feeding from three-dimensionally irregularly shaped surfaces, like algae, more efficient. Adult B. prasina feed on small insects and other arthropods. It has been suggested that the differences in secretions between male and female B. prasina are due to differences in their diet or how they spend their time. However, this explanation seems unlikely as differences in diet occur during early infancy. Mating B. prasina uses croaking
