Micryletta is a genus of microhylid frogs. Prior to 2018, only 3 species were recognized, but phylogenetic studies since then have found a much higher species diversity within the genus. Prior to 2018, only 3 species were recognized, but phylogenetic studies since then have found a much higher species diversity within the genus.
The new species was first erroneously reported as Xenophrys maosonensis from Arunachal Pradesh in 2019 due to overlapping morphological characters and limited molecular evidence. [ 2 ] Taxonomical studies of Mahony et al. (2018) and Lyu et al. (2023) on the Xenophrys genus suggested that multiple potential new species-level taxa in Vietnam and ...
Frog calls sound similar to boatswain whistle and tricorder from Star Trek series, researchers say
They found two “olive green” frogs in the cavern and identified the animals as a known species. But “superficial” similarities gave way, and molecular analysis confirmed that these frogs ...
Adenomera guarani exhibits between 6% and 8% genetic divergence from other species in Adenomera. [1] Males have a snout-vent length of 23.1 mm, while those of females measure about 22.9 mm. [3] Males and females have similar foot lengths, measuring around 11.5 mm. Heads are wider than their length, with males possessing a head width of 8.3 mm and a head length of 7.7 mm; in contrast, females ...
