Moor frogs from European Russia and Western Siberia are able to tolerate freezing to temperatures as low as -16 °C. Moor frogs from Denmark are only able to survive freezing temperatures as low as -4 °C for 3 to 4 days. The minimum freezing temperatures at which frogs are able to survive with 0% mortality is different between frog populations.
The spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) [3] is a small chorus frog widespread throughout the eastern United States and Canada. [4] It prefers permanent ponds due to its advantage in avoiding predation; however, it is very adaptable with respect to the habitat it can live in.
The following is a list of amphibians of Java and Bali, Indonesia from Iskandar (1998). [1] There is a total of 41 amphibian species in Java, 9 of which are endemic to Java. In Java, amphibian species commonly collected for human consumption include Limnonectes macrodon , Fejervarya cancrivora , Fejervarya limnocharis , and Fejervarya iskandari .
When studying ice concentration of overwintering frogs, 40-50% of total body water was frozen. [14] Studies have revealed that Cope's gray treefrog could be more resilient to climate change in the long-term, though populations may suffer short-term drawbacks. [15] Either way, distribution will hopefully change little in the long-term because of ...
Hyla japonica, commonly known as the Japanese tree frog, is a species of anuran native to Japan, China, and Korea. H. japonica is unique in its ability to withstand extreme cold, with some individuals showing cold resistance at temperatures as low as −30 °C for up to 120 days. [2]
Grey foam-nest tree frogs dislike arid conditions and need humidity to survive; however, they can still be found in dry environments such as: dry forests, miombo, mopane, savannah, and cultivated areas in low altitudes. [5] They are able to survive dry seasons under loose bark, hence why they are referred to as tree frogs. [4]
This photo provided by researchers in December 2022 shows a glass frog, strict leaf dwelling frogs, that sleep, forage, fight, mate, and provide (male) parental care on leaves over tropical streams.
The common frog is a poikilotherm and is able to function over a wide range of body core temperatures.. A poikilotherm (/ ˈ p ɔɪ k ə l ə ˌ θ ɜːr m, p ɔɪ ˈ k ɪ l ə ˌ θ ɜːr m /) is an animal (Greek poikilos – 'various', 'spotted', and therme – 'heat') whose internal temperature varies considerably.
