Aromobates vocalizations

Only the call of five species of Aromobates are known to date, those of Aromobates meridensis ( Barrio-Amorós et al. 2010a), A. ornatissimus (Barrio-Amorós et al. 2011) , A. cannatellai , A. ericksonae and A. saltuensis (this work). Table 3 resumes the basic parameters of each species vocalization.
