Indirana semipalmata tadpole,on a plastic sheet used to cover a shed from, Hosamata, Puttur, Karnataka, India Tadpole from Coorg, India on tree bark. The ecology and biology of Indirana semipalmata has not been extensively studied. It is a terrestrial species generally found on vegetation beside the banks of streams and rivers (riparian habitats).
The microhylids of New Guinea and Australia completely bypass the tadpole stage, with direct development from egg to frog. The arboreal species can therefore lay the eggs within the trees, and never need venture to the ground. Where species do have tadpoles, these almost always lack the teeth or horny beaks typical of the tadpoles of other ...
This is interpreted as an adaptation that allows the tadpoles to cling to the rocks until the tail is almost fully resorbed. [8] In Limnonectes limborgi, the tadpoles are free-living but non-feeding ("nidicolous") and retain their yolk sac until stage 37, at least. [9] Direct-developing frogs hatch directly as froglets, without free-living ...
Geoplanidae is a family of flatworms known commonly as land planarians or land flatworms. [2]These flatworms are mainly predators of other invertebrates, which they hunt, attack and capture using physical force and the adhesive and digestive properties of their mucus. [3]
Ambystoma talpoideum, the mole salamander, is a species of salamander found in much of the eastern and central United States, from Florida to Texas, north to Illinois, east to Kentucky, with isolated populations in Virginia and Indiana.
Lepidurus glacialias, very similar in body shape to Lepidurus apus. Lepidurus apus, commonly known as a tadpole shrimp, is a notostracan in the family Triopsidae, one of a lineage of shrimp-like crustaceans that have had a similar form since the Triassic period and are considered living fossils.
They can be terrestrial, arboreal, or aquatic, typically living in forests or riparian areas, and feeding primarily upon arthropods. Many Eleutherodactylus species have highly restricted ranges and are found on only one island or in one or a few localities. Even some of these restricted species can occur at very high densities.
Polypedates leucomystax is a species in the shrub frog family Rhacophoridae.It is known under numerous common names, including common tree frog, four-lined tree frog, golden tree frog [2] or striped tree frog.
