Scientists think the ancestors of modern frogs all laid their eggs in water. Maybe the red-eyed tree frog itself could have evolved its leaf-laying habits as a result of phenotypic plasticity.
10 paź 2024 · The evolution of tree frogs is a story of survival and adaptation. From moving to the treetops to developing sticky toe pads and bright colors, tree frogs have found amazing ways to overcome challenges. Their journey shows us how animals can change to fit their environment and thrive.
12 gru 2023 · Communications Biology - Short-term tracking of treefrogs in southern Brazil, alongside microbiome and stress hormone profiling, suggests that forest fragmentation impacts microbiome diversity...
21 wrz 2023 · The project, led by Master’s graduate Florine Pascal, examined a hybrid zone between Central American populations of the red-eyed tree frog with dramatically different coloration — the southern population have bright red patches on their legs, and the northern population are blue.
12 mar 2018 · We examined the climbing abilities of hylid tree frogs on vertical cylinders of differing diameter and surface roughness to investigate the relative roles of adduction forces (gripping) and adhesion. Tree frogs adhere using their toe pads and subarticular tubercles, the adhesive joint being fluid-filled.
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.
15 wrz 2021 · Treefrogs in the families Hylidae (Ameroaustralian distribution) and Rhacophoridae (Afroasian distribution) account for 20% of global anuran diversity. Although most closely related to “true frogs” of the family Ranidae, Rhacophorids are ecological equivalents of the New World Hylids.
