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.
A new species of frog has been officially confirmed, close to 80 years after its existence was first theorized. The frog, Rana kauffeldi, is a type of leopard frog, and the process of establishing ...
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 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]
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 ...
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 ...
Nasikabatrachus is a genus of frogs. It is presently treated as the only genus in the family Nasikabatrachidae , though previously it was included in the family Sooglossidae . Two species are recognized, Nasikabatrachus bhupathi and Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis , both endemic to southwestern India . [ 1 ]
DNA analysis found the new species had at least 0.7% genetic divergence from other frog species. The research team included Shi-Ze Li, Jing Liu, Xiao-Cong Ke, Gang Cheng and Bin Wang.
