23 sie 2018 · Tree frogs have the remarkable ability to attach to smooth, rough, dry, and wet surfaces using their versatile toe pads. Tree frog attachment involves the secretion of mucus into the pad-substrate gap, requiring adaptations towards mucus drainage and pad lubrication.
Here, we present an overview of tree frog attachment, with focus on (i) the morphology and material of the toe pad; (ii) the functional demands on the toe pad arising from ecology, lifestyle,...
10 cze 2019 · In this review, we discuss the complexities of the structure of tree frog toe pads in relation to their function and review their biomimetic potential. Of particular importance are the (largely) hexagonal epithelial cells surrounded by deep channels that cover the surface of each toe pad and the array of nanopillars on their surface.
12 gru 2023 · We found a negative correlation between cortisol levels and putative microbiome function for frogs translocated to forest fragments, indicating strong integration of host stress response and...

11 kwi 2022 · Rhacophorid tree frogs comprise a spectacular diversification that can be used to test climatic correlates of evolution.
Tree frogs are small. They are so light they can stand on a leaf. There are many different. They live on all the continents. All frogs have large eyes. They can see very well. This helps them catch insects to eat. Their ears are a circle of skin behind the eye. It is called the tympanum. Frogs can hear well. They can hear predators.
