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 ...

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 ...

In a new study, researchers have investigated how the endocrine-disrupting substance linuron affects reproduction in the West African clawed frog, Xenopus tropicalis. The scientists found that linuron ...

HONG KONG, March 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Science Unit of Lingnan University (LU) in Hong Kong has reported a novel form of reproductive behaviour observed in a native frog species, Lau's Leaf ...

In A Nutshell: Male frog calls change with water temperature: Warmer water produces faster, shorter calls while cold water ...

Frog mating calls change with temperature and may signal when ponds are safe for breeding, offering insight into climate change.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
