The narration discusses the role of frog vocalization in species recognition and the effect of phylogenetics on call structure. [5] In a description of the relationship between body size and pitch, Bogert explains that the frequency of the marine toad 's call is about 600 cycles per second while that of the oak toad is about 5200 cycles per second.
The coquís and their fellow members of the Eleutherodactylus genus have an unusual life cycle shared by only a few other frog genera (e.g. Myobatrachus). While most frogs begin their lives as tadpoles (complete with a small tail that aids the juvenile frog in swimming before they develop legs), the coquís are hatched as tiny frogs with short ...
The life cycle is completed when they metamorphose into adults. A few species deposit eggs on land or bypass the tadpole stage. Adult frogs generally have a carnivorous diet consisting of small invertebrates, but omnivorous species exist and a few feed on plant matter. Frog skin has a rich microbiome which is important to their health. Frogs ...
A Pacific tree frog (green morph) sitting on a sunflower leaf stem, Nanoose Bay British Columbia. The Pacific tree frog grows up to two inches from snout to urostyle. The males are usually smaller than the females and have a dark patch on their throats. The dark patch is the vocal sac, which stretches out when the male is calling. Pacific tree ...
The Guinness Book of World Records lists the frog's body weight at 10 milligrams (0.00035 oz), [13] while measurements of Schindleria brevipinguis show them to weigh less than 2 milligrams (7.1 × 10 −5 oz), with one adult specimen weighing just 0.7 milligrams. [14] The frog lives on land and its life cycle does not include a tadpole stage. [11]
Hyla is a genus of frogs in the tree frog family Hylidae. As traditionally defined, it was a wastebasket genus with more than 300 species found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and across the Americas. After a major revision of the family, most of these have been moved to other genera so that Hyla now only contains 17 extant (living) species from ...

Rhacophorus is a genus of frogs in the shrub-frog family Rhacophoridae, which, with the related Hylidae, is one of the two genera of true tree frogs.They are found in China, India, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo.
