Andinobates Tolimensis
''Andinobates tolimensis'', the Tolimense poison frog, is a species of amphibian in the family Dendrobatidae, endemic to Colombia in the outskirts of Falan and north of the department of Tolima. Previously it was included in the genus ''Ranitomeya'', but was reclassified in ''Andinobates'', along with 11 other species. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is toxic to humans and when captured will excrete a milky substance. Description Its skin is golden or coppery with yellow spots on the upper part of the front legs and sometimes from the junction of these to the lower lip; a black or brown spot goes over the yellow one. Behavior Calls occur in a series of short, soft buzzes (each lasting 0.84-0.99 seconds), like cricket sounds and similar to calls made by ''A. dorisswansonae'', but softer. The call is pulsed and has a dominant frequency of 4.73-5.22 kHz as recorded in captivity. Males will carry single tadpoles on their back, demonstrating parental care. Taxo ...

Amphibian
Amphibians are tetrapod, four-limbed and ectothermic vertebrates of the Class (biology), class Amphibia. All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial animal, terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs. Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin. They are superficially similar to reptiles like lizards but, along with mammals and birds, reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed. With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators; in re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dendrobatidae
Poison dart frog (also known as dart-poison frog, poison frog or formerly known as poison arrow frog) is the common name of a group of frogs in the Family (biology), family Dendrobatidae which are native to tropical Central and South America. These species are Diurnality, diurnal and often have brightly colored bodies. This bright coloration is correlated with the toxicity of the species, making them Aposematism, aposematic. Some species of the family Dendrobatidae exhibit extremely bright coloration along with high toxicity, while others have Crypsis, cryptic coloration with minimal to no amount of observed toxicity. The species that have great toxicity derive this feature from their diet of ants, mites and termites. However, other species that exhibit cryptic coloration, and low to no amounts of toxicity, eat a much larger variety of prey. Many species of this family are Threatened species, threatened due to human infrastructure encroaching on their habitats. These amphibians ...

Colombia
Colombia (, ; ), officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country in South America with insular regions in North America—near Nicaragua's Caribbean coast—as well as in the Pacific Ocean. The Colombian mainland is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east and northeast, Brazil to the southeast, Ecuador and Peru to the south and southwest, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Panama to the northwest. Colombia is divided into 32 departments and the Capital District of Bogotá, the country's largest city. It covers an area of 1,141,748 square kilometers (440,831 sq mi), and has a population of 52 million. Colombia's cultural heritage—including language, religion, cuisine, and art—reflects its history as a Spanish colony, fusing cultural elements brought by immigration from Europe and the Middle East, with those brought by enslaved Africans, as well as with those of the various Amerindian civilizations that predate colonization. Spanish is th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Falan
Falan is a town and municipality in the Tolima department of Colombia. Falan was founded before 1539, by the Guandecas and Pomponáes tribes. It was discovered by Spanish Baltazar Maldonado in 1539. The population of the municipality was 17,251 as of the 1993 census. The total area of the municipality is 238 km². Most workers work in agriculture although some do logging or mining Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef, or placer deposit. The exploitation of these deposits for raw material is based on the economic via .... The altitude is 930 meters above sea level. Falan was originally inhabited only by indigenous inhabitants. In the middle of the 16th century, Spanish conquistadors first came across Falan. Spanish settlers came in the mid 18th century, seeking to extract silver and gold from the nearby mines, they called the community Rosario de Lajas. A nea ...

Ranitomeya
''Ranitomeya'' is a genus of dart poison frogs found in Panama and South America south to Peru and Brazil, possibly into Bolivia. Taxonomy In 2006 Grant ''et al.'' revised the systematics of poison dart frogs and placed many species formerly classified in the genera ''Dendrobates'', '' Minyobates'' and ''Phyllobates'' in ''Ranitomeya''. In 2011 Brown and colleagues, following other scientists who assumed the existence of two distinct clades in ''Ranitomeya'', erected the genus '' Andinobates'' for 12 species of ''Ranitomeya''. ''Ranitomeya'' and ''Andinobates'' frogs can be distinguished from those in genera such as ''Dendrobates'' in that they are generally smaller, have more than two colors, and seem to glitter if viewed from certain angles. ''Ranitomeya'' is widespread in the Amazon basin, whereas ''Andinobates'' species are found only in the northern Andes down to Central America. Description Adults measure no more than in snout–vent length and are typically brightly colo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Andinobates
''Andinobates'' is a genus of poison dart frogs from Ecuador, Colombia and Panama. It contains species formerly classified in the genus ''Dendrobates'' and in 2006 transferred to the genus ''Ranitomeya''. In 2011 Twomey, Brown, and their colleagues erected the genus ''Andinobates'' for a group of 12 species of ''Ranitomeya''. ''Andinobates'' frogs can be distinguished from their sister taxon ''Ranitomeya'' anatomically in that their 2nd and 3rd vertebrae are fused. They show no limb reticulation, which is present in most species of ''Ranitomeya''. Distribution ''Andinobates'' inhabits the rainforests of Ecuador, Colombia, and Panama Panama ( , ; es, link=no, Panamá ), officially the Republic of Panama ( es, República de Panamá), is a transcontinental country spanning the southern part of North America and the northern part of South America. It is bordered by Cos ..., whereas ''Ranitomeya'' is only found in the Amazonian basin. Species ''Andinobates'' primaril ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
