Glandirana
''Glandirana'' is a genus of true frogs (family Ranidae) found in the East Asia (eastern China, Korea, Japan, and possibly Primorsky Krai in the Russian Far East). The name means ‘glandular frog’. Taxonomy and systematics The genus ''Glandirana'' was split off from ''Rana (genus), Rana''. All species, except the more recently described ''Glandirana susurra'' and ''Glandirana reliquia'', were originally included in ''Rana''; some of them were placed in genus ''Rugosa'', which is now synonymized with ''Glandirana''. Although the monophyly of the genus has been questioned, it is supported by recent molecular work. ''Glandirana'' is considered likely to be a sister taxon of the genus ''Hylarana''. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Glandirana'': * ''Glandirana emeljanovi'' (Nikolskii, 1913) * ''Glandirana minima'' (Ting and T'sai, 1979) * ''Glandirana reliquia'' Shimada, Matsui, Ogata, and Miura, 2022 * ''Glandirana rugosa'' (Temminck and Schlegel, 1838) ...

Glandirana Susurra
''Glandirana susurra'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae, the "true frogs". It is endemic to Sado Island, Japan. It is the only endemic amphibian of the island. It is genetically close to the widespread '' Glandirana rugosa'', but it is morphologically distinguishable and postzygotically isolated from the latter species. Etymology The specific name ''susurra'' is derived from the Latin ''susurrus'' meaning "whispering" and refers to the relatively quiet advertisement call of this species compared to those of other sympatric anuran ('' Hyla japonica'' and '' Rhacophorus arboreus''). Evolution Both ''Glandirana rugosa'' and ''Glandirana susurra'' are present on Sado Island, but their ranges do not overlap: ''G. susurra'' occurs on the central part of the island while ''G. rugosa'' in the south and in the north. Together with the fact that the race of ''G. rugosa'' on Sida Island is only distantly related to ''G. susurra'', this suggests that ''G. susurra'' speciated on ...

Glandirana Rugosa
The Japanese wrinkled frog (''Glandirana rugosa'') is a species of true frog native to Japan and introduced to Hawaii Hawaii ( ; ) is an island U.S. state, state of the United States, in the Pacific Ocean about southwest of the U.S. mainland. One of the two Non-contiguous United States, non-contiguous U.S. states (along with Alaska), it is the only sta ... in the late 19th century. It has sometimes been regarded as a single species with the Imienpo Station frog (''Glandirana emeljanovi'') which is found on the East Asian mainland. The two species are distinguished from others by their rough and uneven skin. It lives and breeds in various freshwater environments, including ponds, streams and wetlands. The IUCN does not consider this species to be faced by any significant threats. References Glandirana Endemic amphibians of Japan Amphibians described in 1838 {{Ranidae-stub ...

Glandirana Emeljanovi
The Imienpo Station frog (''Glandirana emeljanovi'') is a species of frog found in Northeast Asia. It has sometimes been regarded as a subspecies of the Japanese wrinkled frog, ''Glandirana rugosa'', with which it shares many characteristics. It is found throughout the Korean Peninsula and adjacent northeast China. It is speculated to be or have been present in the Russian Primorye region as well but attempts to find it there have been unsuccessful. The Imienpo Station frog is found at low elevations, from 100 to 300 meters above sea level. It favors still and slow-moving waters, such as river backwaters and rice paddies. Adult frogs are 4–6 cm in length. They lay eggs in the late spring, from late April to the end of May. The tadpole A tadpole or polliwog (also spelled pollywog) is the Larva, larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian. Most tadpoles are fully Aquatic animal, aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glandirana Minima
''Glandirana minima'' (known as Fujian frog or little gland frog) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to the eastern parts of the Fujian province, China, (in Fuzhou, Fuqing, Yongtai and Changle, Xianyou). Its natural habitats are rivers, swamps, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, ponds, and irrigated land. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species.

Glandirana Tientaiensis
''Glandirana tientaiensis'', also known as Tiantai frog and Tientai rough-skinned frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. Its name refers to its type locality, Tiantai. It is endemic to eastern China and is only known from Zhejiang and south-eastern Anhui provinces. Male ''G. tientaiensis'' measure and female in length. Their natural habitats are open, low-gradient large streams and small rivers at elevations of above sea level. They sometimes also occur in still-water pools close to streams.

True Frog
True frogs is the common name for the frog family (biology), 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 als ...

Rana (genus)
''Rana'' (derived from Latin ''rana'', meaning 'frog') is a genus of frogs commonly known as the Holarctic true frogs, pond frogs or brown frogs. Members of this genus are found through much of Eurasia and western North America. Many other genera were formerly included here. These true frogs are usually largish species characterized by their slim waists and wrinkled skin; many have thin ridges running along their backs, but they generally lack "warts" as in typical toads. They are excellent jumpers due to their long, slender legs. The typical webbing found on their hind feet allows for easy movement through water. Coloration is mostly greens and browns above, with darker and yellowish spots. Behavior Many frogs in this genus breed in early spring, although subtropical and tropical species may breed throughout the year. Males of most of the species are known to call, but a few species are thought to be voiceless. Females lay eggs in rafts or large, globular clusters, and can pro ...
