The frog species was discovered in August 2009 by Louisiana State University herpetologist Christopher Austin and his PhD student Eric Rittmeyer while on an expedition to explore the biodiversity of Papua New Guinea. [10] The new species was found near Amau village in the Central Province, from which its specific name is derived. [3]
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 ...
The new species came from the place, Noa-Dihing River, from where the specimens were collected. This Noa-Dihing Music Frog is differed from other species of Nidirana genus by its size, oval toe tips, the tubercles on their backs and the unique call [2] reminiscent of "wild duck species". [3] The species is named after the Noa-Dahing River. [4]
Frog calls sound similar to boatswain whistle and tricorder from Star Trek series, researchers say
They’d discovered a new species: Scinax juruena, or the Juruena snouted tree frog. Juruena snouted tree frogs are considered “small,” reaching just over 1 inch in length, researchers said.
A video shows some Brachycephalus frogs attempting to jump. ... DNA analysis found the new species had between 0.5% and about 5% genetic divergence from other Brachycephalus frog species.
The new species “eats small birds, rodents, snakes and other frogs and insects,” du Preez said. Beytell’s bullfrogs have a “strongly pulsed,” “whoop”-like call, the study said.
Philautus is a genus of shrub frogs in the family Rhacophoridae from Asia. Some species in this genus are now considered extinct by IUCN, while others are widespread and abundant (such as the recently described P. abundus, which was specifically named for this fact). The taxonomy of the group is unclear, with many poorly described species. [1]
