Amolops Daiyunensis
''Amolops'' (commonly known as cascade frogs or sucker frogs) is a genus of true frogs (family (biology), family Ranidae) native mainly to eastern and south-eastern Asia. These frogs are closely related to such genera as ''Huia (frog), Huia'', ''Meristogenys'', ''Odorrana'', ''Pelophylax'' and ''Rana (genus), Rana'', but still form a distinct lineage among the core evolutionary radiation, 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 evolution, convergent with other Ranidae "torrent frogs". ''Rana archotaphus, 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'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
