Frost [3] restricted Rana to the Old World true frogs and the Eurasian brown and pond frogs of the common frog R. temporaria group, [4] although other authors disagreed with this arrangement. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 2 ] [ 7 ] In 2016, a consortium of Rana researchers from throughout Europe, Asia, and North America revised the group, and reported that the ...
