Hypsiboas
''Boana'' is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are commonly known as gladiator frogs, gladiator treefrogs or Wagler Neotropical treefrogs. These frogs are distributed in the tropical Central and South America from Nicaragua to Argentina, as well as in the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago). This genus was resurrected following a major revision of Hylidae when some 70 species previously placed in the genus ''Hyla'' were moved to this genus. Since then, many new species have also been described. Species As of April, 2020, there are 95 species recognised in this genus: In addition, ''Hyla palliata'' and ''Hypsiboas hypselops'' are included here as ''incertae sedis''.

Boana Rosenbergi
Rosenberg's treefrog (''Hypsiboas rosenbergi''), also known as Rosenberg's gladiator frog or Rosenberg's gladiator treefrog, is a species of frog in the family of tree frogs (Hylidae) and genus of gladiator frogs (Boana) found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and north-western Ecuador. Its scientific name is a testimony to Mr. W. F. H. Rosenberg who collected the type series, and its common name refers to the aggressiveness of males of the species. Description The size of ''H. rosenbergi'' varies based on the population that they belong to, with individuals from the Costa Rican population being smaller in size than those from the Panamanian population. In the Panamanian population, males of ''H. rosenbergi'' measure on average 83 mm (3.3 in) in snout–vent length and females 86 mm (3.4 in). Females also tend to be heavier than males. It has partly webbed fingers and entirely webbed toes and large disks on both fingers and toes. Its skin is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boana Calcarata
Troschel's treefrog (''Boana calcarata''), also known as the blue-flanked treefrog or the convict treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in most parts of the Amazon Basin, except in the southeast and the Guianas. Colombian, Venezuelan, and Surinamese records need confirmation. Taxonomy This species was originally described by Franz Hermann Troschel as ''Hyla calcarata'' in 1848. After Edward Drinker Cope transferred it to the genus ''Hypsiboas'' as ''Hypsiboas calcaratus'' in 1867, it was variously recognized with either name until Faivovich and colleagues validated ''Hypsiboas'' in 2005. However, in 2017 showed that ''Hypsiboas'' was a junior synonym of ''Boana'', the latter then being the valid name. Many sources, however, still use the old name. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The fingers have only basal webbing while the toes are webbed. Males have pre-pollical spines. The dorsal coloration varies from l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boana Atlantica
''Boana atlantica'' is a small-sized species of tree frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest from Pernambuco to Bahia in northeastern Brazil. It is a very abundant species inhabiting primary and secondary forest and forest edge, including degraded forest. It breeds in fish ponds, lakes and pools. It is an adaptable species but it can be locally threatened by habitat loss. In 2017, it became the second amphibian species confirmed to be fluorescent (under UV-light), only a few months after it had been discovered in the closely related polka-dot tree frog The polka-dot tree frog (''Boana punctata''), also known as the dotted tree frog, is a frog species in the family (biology), family Hylidae found in much of South America and also in Trinidad and Tobago.
