The non-invasive method used to obtain the digestive tract content showed high effectivity. Results show that this species is an active specialist forager that principally ingests ants, nevertheless diet composition is diverse; its activity is limited to the outskirts of the water source and increases in the season of higher precipitation.</p><p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT; font-size: xx-small;"><strong>RESUMEN. </strong></span></span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: xx-small;">Se describe el uso de recursos: dieta, tiempo de actividad </span></span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: xx-small;">y microhábitat, por la especie </span></span><em><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT; font-size: xx-small;">Elachistocleis pearsei </span></span></em><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: xx-small;">en una localidad </span></span>del departamento de Sucre. El método no invasivo utilizado para extraer el contenido estomacal mostró alta efectividad. Los resultados indican que la especie es una forrajera activa y especialista que consume mayormente hormigas, aunque la composición de su dieta es  más amplia; su actividad se limita a los alrededores del cuerpo de agua e incrementa en temporada de alta precipitación</p> ER -
