AmphibiaWeb's goal is to provide a single page for every species of amphibian in the world so research scientists, citizen scientists and conservationists can collaborate. [1] It added its 7000th animal in 2012, a glass frog from Peru. [2] [3] As of 2022, it hosted more than 8,400 species located worldwide. [4] [5]
This is a list of biodiversity databases.Biodiversity databases store taxonomic information alone or more commonly also other information like distribution (spatial) data and ecological data, which provide information on the biodiversity of a particular area or group of living organisms.
The project's own page notes that there are ten times as many amphibian species known to science today than were known in the mid-1980s. [3] In July 1999, the catalogue was first published on the internet, in its 2.0 version. New versions were added in 2004, 2006 and 2007. The 6.0 version, published in 2014, allows for real-time modifications. [4]
The list below largely follows Darrel Frost's Amphibian Species of the World (ASW), Version 5.5 (31 January 2011). Another classification, which largely follows Frost, but deviates from it in part is the one of AmphibiaWeb , which is run by the California Academy of Sciences and several of universities.
This is an index to the amphibians found in India. The amphibians of India show a high level of endemism. [1] This list is based largely on Darrel Frost (2006) [2] and includes common names from older books and journals. [3] [4] [5] Some Indian frogs
This is a list of amphibians found in the United States. A total of 306 amphibian species have been recorded in the United States , [ 1 ] 2 of which are now extinct. [ 2 ] This list is derived from the database listing of Amphibian Species of the World .
The smallest amphibian (and vertebrate) in the world is a frog from New Guinea (Paedophryne amauensis) with a length of just 7.7 mm (0.30 in). The largest living amphibian is the 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) South China giant salamander ( Andrias sligoi ), but this is dwarfed by prehistoric temnospondyls such as Mastodonsaurus which could reach up to 6 m ...
