Its existence in close relationship with bromeliads and its occurrence in dry and highly seasonal environments drove us to the supposition that species is opportunistic\/generalist regard to diet. We collected the items present in the stomach of 43 P. tuberculosus individuals with stomach-flushing method. Of these, 18 stomach contents were obtained during the dry period (April\u2013October), and 25 during the rainy period (November\u2013March). We recorded nine classes of prey, finding the greatest relative importance for the categories Formicidae and Coleoptera in dry season and Blattodea (Termites), Formicidae and Coleoptera in the rainy season. Phyllodytes tuberculosus presented a varied, possibly opportunistic diet in semiarid environments. Additionally, we report an apparent temporal differentiation related to the typical Caatinga seasonality. This study adds to the data on the natural history of an anuran species adapted to a semiarid environment with a narrow geographic distribution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.229742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,19]],"date-time":"2020-05-19T23:43:38Z","timestamp":1589931818000},"page":"411-417","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Diet of a bromeligenous species of treefrog in the Brazilian semiarid"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"81","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3429-8541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silvana Souza de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4910-1051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9 Teixeira da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9759-1972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana","family":"Zina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]},"reference":[{"year":"2014","series-title":"Ecologia tr\u00f3fica de anf\u00edbios anuros: rela\u00e7\u00f5es filogen\u00e9ticas em diferentes escalas","author":"AMADO T.F.","key":"ref1"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"149","article-title":"O dom\u00ednio da Caatinga","volume":"4","author":"ANDRADE-LIMA D.","year":"1981","journal-title":"Revista Brasileira de Botanica.
