Scientists are studying Nectophrynoides frogs that give birth to live young. This unique reproductive method helps them ...

It may be hard to imagine competing over who gets to kiss a frog, but when it comes to mating, a new study concludes that some frogs have moved out of the pond onto land to make it easier for the male ...

Aposematic, toxic dendrobatids have received much attention in recent years, resulting in a greater understanding of their biology and evolution; in contrast, data on natural history, social behavior, ...

HONG KONG (KTVX/NEXSTAR) — A university scholar has discovered novel reproductive behavior in a frog species native to Hong Kong. According to the Science Unit of Lingnan University (LU) in Hong Kong, ...

Water frogs have emerged as a compelling model in evolutionary biology due to their unusual modes of hybridization and reproductive genomics. Interspecific crosses between parental species have given ...

A Brazilian study described in an article published in the journal Salamandra evidences the versatility of amphibians in terms of reproductive modes: their eggs and larvae can develop in at least 74 ...

Researchers have discovered a treefrog known to lay eggs terrestrially, also lays eggs in water both at the surface and fully submerged. Although this yellow treefrog is the first vertebrate ...

Researchers have identified two new species of tree frogs with jewel-colored eyes on the Island of Taiwan. The tadpoles of these frogs display a strange reproductive behavior: the tadpole embryos feed ...

Biologists have long thought that some frogs evolved to mate on land instead of in water to better guard eggs and tadpoles from predation. New research now suggests that mating on land in many species ...
