Table 4.

Character codification used in the life-history trait analysis of Leptodactylinae

Character State 0 State 1 State 2 State 3
Reproductive mode Mode 11 Mode 13 Mode 30 Mode 32
Clutch size Less than 50 Between 50 and 1,000 More than 1,000
Habitat Open areas Forest formations
Tadpole environment Lotic water bodies Lentic water bodies Terrestrial tadpole
Nuptial spine Absence Presence
Egg pigmentation Absence Presence

The character codification was used in the ancestral state reconstruction, character mapping and correlation analysis of the six life-history traits for 35 species of Leptodactylinae. Polymorphic data were coded as missing data.
