Zhangixalus
''Zhangixalus'' is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Rhacophorinae, family (biology), family Rhacophoridae. They are collectively known as Zhang's treefrogs. They occur in the Eastern Himalayas, southern China, Taiwan, Japan, and southeast Asia. Etymology The name of the genus honors Zhang Ya-Ping from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in recognition to his contributions to biodiversity and evolution research in China, in combination with ''ixalus'', a common generic root for treefrogs. Taxonomy ''Zhangixalus'' was erected in a 2019 revision of the then very large genus ''Rhacophorus'' (92 species) that was split in three lineages: ''Rhacophorus'' sensu stricto (then 39 species; as of November 2021, 43 species), resurrected ''Leptomantis'' (then 14 species; as of November 2021, 13 species), and ''Zhangixalus'' (then 37 species; as of November 2021, 40 species). The split was based on molecular data, but was supported by morphological characteristics and differences in geographic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zhangixalus Feae
''Zhangixalus feae'' is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southwestern Yunnan (China), northern Laos, northern and central highlands of Vietnam, northern Thailand, and Myanmar. The specific name ''feae'' honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist. Its natural habitats are closed-canopy evergreen rainforests, but it can adapt to human presence. Breeding takes place in streams, ponds, and paddy fields as well as holes in trees; it seems to require large trees. It is threatened by habitat loss and collecting for consumption, at least in the past. Individuals of ''Zhangixalus feae'' are capable of gliding by spreading the webbing between their fingers and toes. They eat small invertebrates Invertebrates are a paraphyletic group of animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column (commonly known as a ''backbone'' or ''spine''), derived from the notochord. This is a grouping including all animals apart from the chord ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
