Studies concerning the predation of anurans by invertebrates are usually sparse and anecdotal, even more so when regarding the trophic relationships in anthropic environments, as is the case in forest management areas. In the present study, we document the predation of two anuran species, Dendropsophus sp. and Leptodactylus pentadactylus, by water bug nymphs of the Belostoma genus present in temporary puddles formed in a forest management area in the state of Pará, Brazil. We then went on to discuss how management practices can affect trophic relationships in managed tropical forests both directly and indirectly.
