A Pacific tree frog (green morph) sitting on a sunflower leaf stem, Nanoose Bay British Columbia. The Pacific tree frog grows up to two inches from snout to urostyle. The males are usually smaller than the females and have a dark patch on their throats. The dark patch is the vocal sac, which stretches out when the male is calling. Pacific tree ...
Male frogs typically approach higher frequency sounds more readily than lower frequencies, likely because the frog producing the sound is assessed to be a smaller, less dangerous competitor. [25] In territorial birds, males increase song production rate when neighbouring males encroach on their territory. [22]

These frogs have long been known as Pacific chorus frogs Pseudacris regilla. Then, in 2006, Recuero et al. split that taxonomic concept into three species. [ 5 ] Recuero et al. attached the name Pseudacris regilla with the northern piece, renaming the central piece the Sierran tree frog ( Pseudacris sierra ) and the southern piece the Baja ...
The belly is pale with yellow underneath the legs. There is also a Y-shaped or triangular marking between the eyes, a common feature in chorus frogs. It has large toe pads that aid it in climbing trees, although it is not technically a tree frog, and mostly a ground-dweller. The male's throat is dark colored.
Acrisinae is a subfamily of the tree frog family Hylidae. [1] There are only two genera in this subfamily, Acris (cricket frogs) and Pseudacris (chorus frogs). They are native to most of the Nearctic realm, and are found as far north as the Great Slave Lake in Canada, all across the United States, and down Baja California and some parts of northern Mexico.
A different call is emitted by a male frog or unreceptive female when mounted by another male. This is a distinct chirruping sound and is accompanied by a vibration of the body. [95] Tree frogs and some non-aquatic species have a rain call that they make on the basis of humidity cues prior to a shower. [95]
In the female spring peeper, protruding beyond the lower jaw of the frog sits its snout. Through the use of adhesive pads located on the tips of their non-webbed fingers, spring peepers can stick to particular materials. Males and females are differentiated from one another through the darkening of the skin beneath the jaw in males.
