| + | The life cycle of frogs, like that of other amphibians, consists of four main stages: egg, tadpole, metamorphosis and adult. The reliance of frogs on an aquatic environment for the egg and tadpole stages gives rise to a variety of breeding behaviors that include the well-known mating calls used by the males of most species to attract females to the bodies of water that they have chosen for breeding. Some frogs also look after their eggs—and in some cases even the tadpoles—for some time after laying. |

| − | '''Frog''' is the common name for [[amphibian]]s in the order Anura. A distinction based on appearance is often made between frogs and toads, but this actually has no scientific basis. The only family exclusively given the common name "toad" is [[Bufonidae]], but many species from various other families are also called "toads". "[[True frog]]s" are of the family Ranidae.
| + | <!--T:2--> |
| | + | The life cycle of a frog starts with an egg. Eggs are generally laid in water, and an individual female may lay egg masses containing thousands of eggs. While the length of the egg stage depends on the species and environmental conditions, aquatic eggs generally hatch within one week. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Characteristics==
| + | <!--T:3--> |
| − | {{main|Frog zoology}}
| + | Some frogs do not have the tadpole stage going from egg to adult shape e.g. New Zealand's native frogs (pepeketua) belong to the genus Leiopelma. |
| − | Because of the great diversity of frogs (over 4000 species), many characteristics are not shared by all of the species. However, there are some general characteristics that distinguish them from other amphibians. Frogs are generally well suited to jumping, and have long hind legs, with elongated ankle bones. They have a short vertebral column, with no more than ten free vertebrae, followed by a fused tail bone, usually resulting in a frog without a tail.
| + | Eggs hatch and continue life as tadpoles (occasionally known as polliwogs). Tadpoles are aquatic, lack front and hind legs, and have gills for breathing and tails with fins for swimming. Tadpoles are typically herbivorous, feeding mostly on algae, including diatoms that are filtered from the water through the gills. Some species are carnivorous at the tadpole stage, eating insects, smaller tadpoles and fish. The tadpole stage may be as short as a week, or tadpoles may overwinter and metamorphosis the following year in some species, such as the Midwife toad (''Alytes obstetricans'') and the Common Spadefoot (''Pelobates fuscus''). |
| | | | |
| − | Frogs range in size from 10mm (''[[Psyllophryne didactyla]]'' of [[Brazil]] and ''[[Eleutherodactylus iberia]]'' of [[Cuba]]) to 300mm ([[Goliath frog]], ''Conraua goliath'', of [[Cameroon]]).
| + | <!--T:4--> |
| | + | At the end of the tadpole stage, frogs undergo metamorphosis, in which they transition into adult form. Metamorphosis involves a dramatic transformation of body shape and function, as tadpoles develop hind legs and then front legs, lose their gills and develop lungs. Their intestines shorten as they shift from an herbivorous to a carnivorous diet. The final stage of development from froglet to adult frog involves the loss of the tail. |
| | | | |
| − | The skin lacks [[keratin]] and hangs loosely on the body because of the lack of [[loose connective tissue]], and can be smooth, warty or have skin folds. Frogs have three eyelid membranes: one transparent to protect the eyes underwater, and two which are translucent to opaque. They have a [[tympanum]] on each side of their head, which is involved in hearing, and is covered by skin in some species.
| + | <!--T:5--> |
| − | | + | After metamorphosis, young adults may leave the water and disperse into terrestrial habitats, or continue to live in the aquatic habitat as adults. Almost all species of frogs are carnivores as adults, eating invertebrates such as spiders, insects, snails, and slugs. A few of the larger species may eat prey such as small mammals, fish and smaller frogs. Some frogs use their sticky tongues to catch fast-moving prey, while others capture their prey and force it into their mouths with their hands. However, there are a very few species of frogs that primarily eat plants. Adult frogs are themselves preyed upon by birds, large fish, snakes, otters, foxes, badgers, coatis, and other animals. |
| − | The internal organs of frogs are relatively odourless. Hence, dead frogs are often used for [[dissection]]s in high school and university anatomy classes, often after being injected with coloured plastics to enhance the contrast between different [[organ (anatomy)|organ]]s.

| − | ===Feet and legs===
| |
| − | [[Image:L tyleri.jpg|thumb|230px|right|[[Tyler's Tree Frog]] (''Litoria tyleri''), illustrating large toe pads and webbed feet.]]
| |
| − | The feet/hands and legs of frogs, are one of the most varied structures within the order (Anura). This is due to the large variety of habitats in which frogs inhabit. The three main habitats are terrestrial, aquatic and arboreal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | THERE IS A FROG CALLED AMESH!
| |
| − | | |
| − | An aquatic lifestyle for a frog requires a frog to move fast through the water. To do this, frogs have evolved a structure similar to most semi-aquatic animals - webbed feet and hands. The degree to which a frog is aquatic, can usually be predicted from the amount their hands/feet are webbed. For example, the [[African dwarf frog]] (''Hymenochirus sp.'') is completely aquatic and its hands are fully webbed, whereas [[White's tree frog]] is arboreal, and is only half or one quarter webbed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Arboreal frogs have toe pads on the end of their toes to help grip. The toe discs do not work by suction, but a more complicated system. The cells on the pads are interlocking, with gaps between each cell. The pressure from the frog interlocks any irregularities on a surface, and therefore grips the surface. On smooth surfaces, the gaps drain away excess moisture, to produce a thin layer of moisture. Capillarity then maintains the grip (Emerson and Diehl, 1980). For this reason, wet frogs cannot grip to smooth surfaces.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tree frogs also have a small structure called the intercalory structure in their toes and fingers. This aids in creating the greatest surface area touching the substrate, by applying even pressure to the toes/fingers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Transport through trees can be dangerous just through the process of hopping. Therefore, many arboreal frogs have hips which allow both hopping and walking.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ground dwelling frogs do not have much in the way of specific adaptations, except they lack the adaptations of aquatic and arboreal frogs. Ground dwelling frogs will usually have reduced toe pads (if any at all), and webbing. The hind legs of ground dwelling frogs are better suited to hopping.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Ecology and behaviour==
| |
| − | ===Call===
| |
| − | [[Image:Rana_skeleton.png|thumb|Skeleton of ''Rana'']]
| |
| − | The males of most [[species]] of frogs will call for a variety of reasons. It will call by passing air through the [[larynx]], in the throat. In most calling frogs, the sound is amplified by the vocal sac(s). The vocal sac is a membrane of skin under the throat or on the cheeks which distends during the amplification of the call. Each call is unique to a species.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The main reason for calling is for the male to attract a mate. Males will either call in a group, called a chorus, or individually. Females of many frog species, e.g. ''Polypedates leucomystax'', produce a call reciprocal to the male's which acts as the catalyst for the enhancement of reproductive activity in the breeding colony (Roy, 1997). A male frog will emit a different call when mounted by another male. Many species also have a territorial call that is used to chase away other males. All of these calls are emitted with the mouth of the frog closed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A distress call is emitted by some frogs when they are in a position of danger. This is done with the mouth open, and usually results in a higher pitched call. The effectiveness of the call is unknown, however it is suspected the call intrigues the predator, until another animal is attracted, distracting them enough for its escape.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many species of frog have deep calls, or croaks. Frog noise tends to be spelt (for English speakers) as "crrrrk" in [[Britain]] and "ribbit" in the [[USA]]. This difference is due to the different species within each region (for example, [[Common frog]] (''Rana temporaria'') in Britain and [[Leopard frog]] (''Rana pipiens'') in the USA). The croak of the [[bullfrog| American bullfrog]] (''Rana catesbiana'') is sometimes spelt "jug o' rum".
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Camouflage===
| |
| − | [[Image:Crinia signifera.jpg|thumb|230px|right|[[Common Eastern Froglet]] (''Crinia signifera'') camouflaged against leaf litter.]]
| |
| − | Camouflage is a common defensive mechanism in frogs. Most camouflaged frogs are nocturnal, which adds to their ability to hide. Nocturnal frogs will usually find the ideal camouflaged position during the day to sleep. Some frogs have the ability to change colour. However, this is usually restricted to shades of one or two colours. For example, [[White's tree frog]] (''Litoria caerulea'') varies in shades of green and brown. Features such as warts or skin folds are usually found on ground dwelling frogs, where a smooth skin would not disguise them effectively. Arboreal frogs will usually have smooth skin to effectively disguise them as leaves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Water conservation===
| |
| − | The permeability of frog's skin results in some frogs losing large amounts of water. Many frogs, such as [[tree frogs]], have behaviourally and physiologically adapted to conserving water. Some tree frogs reduce water loss, with a water proof layer of skin. Some species will use behavioural traits to reduce water loss. This includes nocturnal activity, and resting in a water conserving position. This position involves the frog lying with its toes and fingers tucked under its body and chin respectively, with no gap between the body and substrate. These adaptations only reduce water loss enough for a predominately arboreal existence, and are not suitable for arid conditions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For this reason, for frogs to survive in deserts or drought prone regions, where water may not be accessible for many years, other adaptations must suffice. The Australia genus ''Cyclorana'', and American genus ''Pternohyla'' will dig underground, form a water impervious cocoon and hibernate during dry periods. Once it rains, they will emerge, find a temporary pond and breed. The egg and tadpole development is very fast in comparison to most frogs, to prevent the pond drying before metamorphosis.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Poison===
| |
| − | Some species of frog secrete [[toxin]]s from their skin. These toxins deter predatory animals from eating them, and some are extremely poisonous to humans. Generally the frog obtains the poison from the insects and other animals it eats. The Australian [[Corroboree frog]]s, ''Pseudophryne corroboree'' and ''Pseudophryne pengilleyi'', have been discovered to be able to manufacture an [[alkaloid]] not derived from their diet (Smith ''et al.'' 2002). Some natives of the [[Amazon_Rainforest|Amazon]] area extract poison from the [[Poison dart frog]] and put it on their [[dart]]s when hunting. It was previously a misconception that the poison was placed on arrows rather than darts. The name of the frog was changed from Poison arrow frog to Poison dart frog in the early 1980's. Poisonous frogs tend to advertise their toxicity with bright colours.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Distribution and status==
| |
| − | Frogs are found nearly worldwide, but they do not occur in [[Antarctica]] and are not present on many oceanic islands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In many parts of the world, the [[Decline in frog populations|frog populations have declined]] drastically since the 1950s. Many environmental scientists feel that amphibians, and frogs in particular, may be excellent biological [[indicator species|indicators]] of ecosystem function because of their location on the food web, their permeable skins and their typically bi-phasic life (in both water and on land). The decline in frog diversity may also be to do with particular species having specialised on particular kinds of prey, such as certain kinds of [[earthworm]]s that are themselves indicator species due to their close dependence on soil chemistry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although habitat loss is certainly one of the most important features of most declines; pollutants, climate change, introduction of non-indigenous predators/competitors, and infectious diseases (see [[Chytrid|Chytrid fungus]]) have also been implicated.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Life cycle==
| |
| − | The life cycle of frogs contains many stages. Typically, the male frogs of a species will assemble at a still water source. They will then call, collectively becoming a chorus of frogs. The call is unique to the species, and will attract females of that species. Some species have satellite males who do not call but intercept females approaching one of the calling males.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The male and female frog, will then undergo [[amplexus]]. This involves the male mounting the female. The female then releases her eggs, which the male frog covers with a sperm solution before the eggs make contact with the water. Once the eggs come in contact with the water, they will swell, and form a protective coating. The eggs are typically brown or black, with a clear, gelatine-like, covering.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The eggs will hatch after a short time, releasing [[tadpoles]]. The tadpoles are entirely aquatic, and undergo the most development in the life cycle. They will undergo [[metamorphosis]], in which they will develop legs, and lungs, to become a froglet, resembling an adult but retaining a vestigial tail. The final stage of development from froglet to adult frog involves [[apoptosis]] (programmed cell death) of the tail. Typically, tadpoles are [[herbivore]]s, feeding mostly on [[alga]]e, whereas juvenile and adult frogs are rather voracious [[carnivore]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most temperate species of frog reproduce in the period between late autumn to early spring. In the [[UK]] most common frog populations produce frogspawn in February although there is wide variation in timing. Water temperatures at this time of year are relatively low and typically between four and 10 degrees Celsius. Reproducing in these conditions helps the developing tadpoles because dissolved oxygen concentrations in the water are highest at cold temperatures. More importantly, reproducing early in the season ensures that appropriate food is available to the developing frogs at the right time.

| − | ===Reproductive adaptations===
| |
| − | [[Image:Frogspawn closeup.JPG|thumb|230px|right|A large quantity of frog spawn]]
| |
| − | The egg and tadpole stage of a frog's life cycle is usually the most dangerous due to easy [[predation]]. For this reason, frogs have evolved many techniques to protect the survival of the next generation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The most common adaptation for the preservation of the next generation, is mass laying of eggs. The female will lay thousands of eggs in one laying. A majority of the offspring will usually die due to predation, disease or competition with other tadpoles. However, there is a greater chance some will survive than a laying of smaller numbers. One way in which some species avoid the predation and pathogens eggs are exposed to in ponds is to lay eggs on leaves above the pond, with a coating designed to retain moisture. The tadpoles drop into the water upon hatching.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Poisonous tadpoles and/or eggs is an adaptation also present in frogs. Some tadpoles will advertise their toxicity, usually poison dart frogs, to warn potential prey. Other poisonous species will not, such as the [[Cane Toad]] (''Bufo marinus''). Although the Cane Toad, and similar species, do not advertise their toxicity the offspring still survive in large numbers. They will lay the eggs en masse, and any predator within the region will die once they eat the egg or tadpole. This reduces the number of predators, and therefore increases the number of surviving offspring.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Brood care is much less common. This is done through many different techniques. Some species of poison dart frogs will lay eggs on the forest floor, and protect them until hatching. This protection involves guarding the eggs from predation, and keeping the eggs moist. The frog will urinate if they become too dry. After hatching, a parent (sex depending upon the species) will move them, on its back, to a water-holding bromeliad. The parent will then feed it through laying unfertilised eggs into the bromeliad, until the young have metamorphosed. Other frogs will carry the eggs and tadpoles on their hind legs or back (e.g. the [[midwife toad]]s, ''Alytes spp.'').
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many frogs protect their offspring inside their own body. The male Australian pouched frog (''Assa darlingtoni'') has pouches along its side. The tadpoles will reside in the pouch until the end of metamorphosis. The female [[Gastric-brooding Frog]]s (genus: ''Rheobatrachus'') from Australia swallows its tadpoles which develop in the stomach. To do this, the Gastric-brooding Frog must stop secreting [[stomach acid]] and suppress [[peristalsis]] (contractions of the stomach). [[Darwin's Frog]] (''Rhinoderma darwinii'') from Chile puts the tadpoles in its vocal sac for development.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Diet and predators==
| |
| − | All adult frogs are [[carnivore]]s, and usually eat invertebrates such as: [[insect]]s, [[worm]]s and [[spider]]s. However, a few of the larger species may eat larger prey, such as small [[mammal]]s, [[fish]] and smaller frogs. Some frogs use their sticky tongues effectively in catching fast-moving prey, while others capture their prey, and force it into their mouth with their hands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most tadpoles are [[herbivore]]s, eating moss, or filtering small plant particles through their [[gill]]s. During the process of metamorphosis, their intestine will shorten to accommodate a carnivorous diet. Some species of frogs are carnivorous at the tadpole stage, and will usually eat small larvae and small fish.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many animals eat frogs. These include [[birds]], large fish, [[snake]]s, [[otter]]s, [[fox]]es, [[badger]]s, [[coati]]s etc. Tadpoles and eggs are predated by fish, newts, predatory diving beetles, and birds such as [[kingfisher]]s. [[Cannibalism]] has also been observed among tadpoles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Taxonomy==
| |
| − | A problem commonly associated with Anurans, is the distinction between frogs and toads. This distinction has no scientific basis, and only refers to the common name of a species. Most frogs in the Ranidae family (true frogs) and Hylidae family (tree frogs) are considered frogs, whereas all those within the Bufonidae family (true toads) are considered toads. However, many families, and even genera, have a mixture of frogs and toads, so there is no taxonomic basis.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The distinction between frogs and toads is usually based on the ability to retain moisture; frogs are smooth and moist skinned, while toads have dry, warty skin. An exception can be made for the [[Fire-bellied toad]] (''Bombina bombina''). While its skin is slightly warty, it prefers a watery habitat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many Anurans readily [[hybrid]]ise. For instance, the [[Edible Frog]] (''Rana esculenta'') is a hybrid of the [[Pool Frog]] (''R. lessonae'') and the [[Marsh Frog]] (''R. ridibunda''). ''Bombina bombina'' and ''Bombina variegata'' similarly form hybrids, although these are less fertile, giving rise to a [[hybrid zone]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Evolution==
| |
| − | The earliest well-known amphibian, [[Ichthyostega]], was found in Late [[Devonian]] deposits in [[Greenland]], dating back about 363 million years. The earliest amphibian discovered to date is [[Elginerpeton]], found in Late Devonian rocks of [[Scotland]] dating to approximately 368 million years ago. The later [[Paleozoic]] saw a great diversity of amphibians, ranging from small legless swimming forms ([[Aïstopoda]]) to bizarre "horned" forms ([[Nectridea]]). These first amphibians are thought to have evolved from bony fish of the Class [[Osteichthyes]] which was widespread during the period that amphibia emerged. There is however, substantial debate over what type of bony fish was the amphibian precursor. Suggestions include the lung-fish and the [[Actinopterygii]] as the forerunners to modern amphibia.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The earliest known (proto)frog is †''[[Triadobatrachus massinoti]]'', from the Early [[Triassic]] of [[Madagascar]]. It is about 250 million years old, and had not yet evolved the full combination of features currently being associated with frogs. The skull is frog-like being broad with large eye sockets, but the fossil has a number of other features differing to modern amphibia. These include a different [[ilium]], a longer body with more [[vertebrae]], the lack of a [[urostyle]] and vertebrae in its tail. The [[tibia]] and [[fibula]] bones are unfused and separate, making it probable that Triadobatrachus was not a very efficient leaper.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another fossil frog, discovered in Arizona and called ''[[Prosalirus bitis]]'', was uncovered in 1985, and dates from roughly the same time as ''Triadobatrachus''. Like ''Triadobatrachus'', ''Prosalirus'' did not have greatly enlarged legs, but possessed the typical three-pronged [[pelvic]] structure. Unlike ''Triadobatrachus'', ''Prosalirus'' had already lost nearly all of its tail.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The earliest true frog is †''[[Vieraella herbsti]]'', from the Early [[Jurassic]] (188-213 mya). It is known only from the [[dorsal]] and [[ventral]] impressions of a single animal and was estimated to be 33 mm in snout-vent length. †''[[Notobatrachus degiustoi]]'' from the Middle Jurassic is just a bit younger, about 155-170 million years old. It seems likely that the evolution of modern anura was completed by the Jurassic period. The main evolutionary changes involved shortening of the body and loss of the tail.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Frog fossils have been found on all continents, including [[Antarctica]].

| − | ==Uses== | |
| − | *[[Frog legs]] are a delicacy in [[China]], [[France]], and in many parts of the [[American South]], especially [[Louisiana]]. The French custom of eating frog legs is the source of the English use of the derogatory nickname "frogs" for French people.
