RESUMO:

The Cerrado Biome is considered to have a high concentration of endemic species, however it has already lost much of its native vegetation cover. The degradation of the area due to the great advance of agriculture continues to be the main cause of habitat fragmentation, which causes numerous problems for the fauna. Among the animals that suffer from deforestation and habitat fragmentation are amphibians, which have a high degree of vulnerability because they are ectothermic and have poor conditions for adapting to variations in the environment. For these reasons, amphibians are the most threatened vertebrates on the planet, as population declines have been recorded for several species around the world. In Brazil, there are 1188 species of amphibians, the vast majority of which are anurans (1142 species). Despite the great biodiversity of animals in the Cerrado, knowledge about the anurofauna is still considered incipient, with 210 species of amphibians being recorded in the literature. Therefore, the knowledge gaps about the species and their geographic distributions, in addition to information about the biological traits (eg. advertisement call, larval stage, body size and reproductive modes) of frogs that occur in the Cerrado are important information given that in view of the advance of deforestation and the ecological importance of this group. Thus, it is interesting to investigate what is known about this ecologically relevant group of animals, to identify patterns and strategies to fill gaps in knowledge about the Cerrado anurofauna.
