Pseudacris (commonly known as the chorus frogs) is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae found in North America ranging from the Pacific coastline to the Atlantic..

Pacific Tree Frog (Pseudacris regilla) has a range from the West Coast of the United States (from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington) to British Columbia, in Canada. They live from sea level to more than 10,000 feet in many types of habitats, reproducing in aquatic settings. They are the only frogs that go ...
The Baja California chorus frog (Pseudacris hypochondriaca) is a cathemeral species of treefrog of Western North America. [1] It was formerly considered as a population of the Pacific chorus frog ( Pseudacris regilla ), but was split and raised to species status in 2006.
The frogs had once been an important part of the summer diet of not only bears, coyotes and snakes but also multiple bird species, including the Clark's nutcracker and the gray-crowned rosy finch.
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 ...
This diagram, in the form of a tree, shows how each frog family is related to other families, with each node representing a point of common ancestry. It is based on Frost et al. (2006), [ 44 ] Heinicke et al. (2009) [ 45 ] and Pyron and Wiens (2011).
By 2005, two ponds were dug on the north side of the Mori Point plot to restore habitat for the red-legged frog and Pacific tree frogs, hoping to establish frog colonies and attract their predators, the San Francisco garter snake. [17] Frog eggs were spotted by the spring of 2005 [14] and the snakes were seen foraging next to the ponds in 2007 ...
