Amolops Shuichengicus

	Amolops Shuichengicus ''Amolops shuichengicus'', the Shuicheng torrent frog, is a species of true frog from China. Description The SVL of males is 35–40 mm (1.38–1.57 in) and 49–56 mm (1.93–2.20 in) in females. The dorsal side is brown with some green spots that may increase in density further towards the head. The flanks are green with dark dots. The lateral side of the snout is black starting from the tip, going over the eye and ending by the flanks. This line has a thinner white line running under it. The limbs have dark bands. The ventral side is white with the chin and limbs being orangeish. The ventral side of the head has some dark mottling. Distribution and ecology ''Amolops shuichengicus'' is currently only found in the Yushe Forest Park, Shuicheng County, Guizhou Province. It is found in rocky torrents. They have been found sitting on leaves above the stream. The knowledge of the distribution and ecology is extremely limited for this species. Etymology Both the common name ...

picture info	True Frog True frogs is the common name for the frog family Ranidae. They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia. The Asian range extends across the East Indies to New Guinea and a single species (the Australian wood frog (''Hylarana daemelii'')) has spread into the far north of Australia. Typically, true frogs are smooth and moist-skinned, with large, powerful legs and extensively webbed feet. The true frogs vary greatly in size, ranging from small—such as the wood frog (''Lithobates sylvatica'')—to large. Many of the true frogs are aquatic or live close to water. Most species lay their eggs in the water and go through a tadpole stage. However, as in most families of frogs, there is large variation of habitat within the family. There are also arboreal speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Snout–vent Length Snout–vent length (SVL) is a morphometric measurement taken in herpetology from the tip of the snout to the most posterior opening of the cloacal slit (vent)."direct line distance from tip of snout to posterior margin of vent" It is the most common measurement taken in herpetology, being used for all amphibians, lepidosaurs, and crocodilians (for turtles, carapace length (CL) and plastral length (PL) are used instead). The SVL differs depending on whether the animal is struggling or relaxed (if alive), or various other factors if it is a preserved specimen. For fossils, an osteological correlate such as precaudal length must be used. When combined with weight and body condition, SVL can help deduce age and sex. Advantages Because tails are often missing or absent, especially in juveniles, SVL is seen as more invariant than total length. Even in the case of crocodiles, tail tips may be missing. Methods The measurements may be taken with dial calipers or digital calipe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Guizhou Guizhou (; formerly Kweichow) is a landlocked province in the southwest region of the People's Republic of China. Its capital and largest city is Guiyang, in the center of the province. Guizhou borders the autonomous region of Guangxi to the south, Yunnan to the west, Sichuan to the northwest, the municipality of Chongqing to the north, and Hunan to the east. The population of Guizhou stands at 38.5 million, ranking 18th among the provinces in China. The Dian Kingdom, which inhabited the present-day area of Guizhou, was annexed by the Han dynasty in 106 BC. Guizhou was formally made a province in 1413 during the Ming dynasty. After the overthrow of the Qing in 1911 and following the Chinese Civil War, the Chinese Communist Party took refuge in Guizhou during the Long March between 1934 and 1935. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong promoted the relocation of heavy industry into inland provinces such as Guizhou, to better prot ...

picture info	Binomial Nomenclature In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, name or a scientific name; more informally it is also historically called a Latin name. The first part of the name – the '' generic name'' – identifies the genus to which the species belongs, whereas the second part – the specific name or specific epithet – distinguishes the species within the genus. For example, modern humans belong to the genus '' Homo'' and within this genus to the species '' Homo sapiens''. '' Tyrannosaurus rex'' is likely the most widely known binomial. The ''formal'' introduction of this system of naming species is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Amolops ''Amolops'' (commonly known as cascade frogs or sucker frogs) is a genus of true frogs (family Ranidae) native mainly to eastern and south-eastern Asia. These frogs are closely related to such genera as ''Huia'', ''Meristogenys'', ''Odorrana'', ''Pelophylax'' and ''Rana'', but still form a distinct lineage among the core radiation of true frogs.Cai ''et al.'' (2007), Stuart (2008) They are commonly known as "torrent frogs" after their favorite habitat - small rapid-flowing mountain and hill streams - but this name is used for many similar-looking frogs regardless of whether they are loosely related. Several species are highly convergent with other Ranidae "torrent frogs". '' A. archotaphus'' and its relatives for example very much resemble '' Odorrana livida''. In another incidence of convergent evolution yielding adaptation to habitat, the tadpoles of ''Amolops'', ''Huia'', ''Meristogenys'' as well as '' Rana sauteri'' have a raised and usually well-developed sucker on their ...
