Resumo
The effects of fire in wildlife have been studied mainly in birds and mammals. Studies that
tested the influence of fire on amphibians are scarce, and this gap is even greater for the species of the
Brazilian Savanna. In this paper, we tested the hypothesis that the fires affect the pattern of co-occurrence
and, consequently, the composition of anuran species. This study was conducted at the Ecological
Station of Serra Geral do Tocantins, in which veredas environments had been burned (n = 3) or not (n
= 3) were selected. We sampled anuran species in November/2010, through searches of breeding sites.
Herein, we found 11 anuran species that are distributed in five families. The species richness between
burned and unburned veredas were similar. We observed that the pattern of co-occurrence of the species
did not differ from that expected by chance and species composition between burned and unburned
veredas were similar. Unlike other studies, we found that the anuran assemblage studied did not suffer
negative influence of fire, since the ecological characteristics of species favor the persistence of these
species in burned environments.
