California’s eco-bureaucrats halted a wildfire prevention project near the Pacific Palisades to protect an endangered shrub. It’s just the latest clash between fire safety and conservation in ...
Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) A flying frog (also called a gliding frog) is a frog that has the ability to achieve gliding flight. This means it can descend at an angle less than 45° relative to the horizontal. Other nonflying arboreal frogs can also descend, but only at angles greater than 45°, which is referred to as ...
Rhacophorus reinwardtii is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is variously known under the common names of black-webbed treefrog, green flying frog, Reinwardt's flying frog, or Reinwardt's treefrog. Before 2006, Rhacophorus reinwardtii and Rhacophorus kio were considered to be the same species. [2]
The frog is often a bycatch of bamboo harvesting. Scientists also cite climate change as a threat because this species, like other high-elevation populations, cannot readily migrate to cooler habitats. Scientists have observed the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on other frogs in Raorchestes, so they believe it could infect R. jayarami too.
More than 30 endangered froglets have been born at London Zoo after a dramatic 7,000-mile rescue mission saw their parents extracted from their fungus-threatened native habitat.. The Darwin’s ...
