Liuixalus Shiwandashan
''Romerus'' is a small genus of rhacophorid frogs that are distributed in southern China (Hong Kong, Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong). Some species now in ''Romerus'' were originally placed in ''Philautus''. It is thought to be the most basal genus in the Rhacophorinae. The genus was first erected as ''Liuixalus'' in 2008 based on molecular genetic evidence showing distinctness of '' Liuixalus romeri'' (then known as ''Chiromantis romeri'') from the rest of ''Chiromantis.'' The genus name ''Liuixalus'' commemorates , a Chinese herpetologist. In 2021, another phylogenetic study deemed the name ''Liuixalus'' as invalidly proposed due to a lack of a diagnosis for the genus in the original study, and thus redescribed the genus as ''Romerus'', alongside morphological characteristics distinguishing it. The name ''Romerus'' commemorates British herpetologist John D. Romer. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed two species of the genus as vulnerable ('' ...

Liuixalus Romeri
Romer's tree frog (''Romerus romeri'') is a species of frog native to Hong Kong and a small portion of Guangxi, China. With an average snout-vent length of 1.5 – 2.5 cm, it is the smallest amphibian recorded in the territory. Despite its common name, it belongs to the family Rhacophoridae, instead of the Hylidae. Description The female frog is slightly larger than the male. The body is tan brown, with the underside white. An X-like marking, made up of two crooked black lines, can be seen on the dorsum. Sometimes, the lines do not meet medially, thus leading to a chevron marking posteriorly. Underneath the X-like marking lies another upside-down V-like marking. The skin is peppered with fine granules. A distinct fold extends from the eye to the foreleg. Romer's tree frog has a triangular but blunt snout with brown-spotted lips. Between the eyes is a dark bar, which extends to the eyelids. The hind legs are long, slender, and barred with irregular brown-to-black cross-bands ...

International Union For Conservation Of Nature
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN; officially International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. It is involved in data gathering and analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education. IUCN's mission is to "influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable". Over the past decades, IUCN has widened its focus beyond conservation ecology and now incorporates issues related to sustainable development in its projects. IUCN does not itself aim to mobilize the public in support of nature conservation. It tries to influence the actions of governments, business and other stakeholders by providing information and advice and through building partnerships. The organization is best known to the wider pu ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Liuixalus
''Romerus'' is a small genus of Rhacophoridae, rhacophorid frogs that are distributed in southern China (Hong Kong, Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong). Some species now in ''Romerus'' were originally placed in ''Philautus''. It is thought to be the most Basal (phylogenetics), basal genus in the Rhacophorinae. The genus was first erected as ''Liuixalus'' in 2008 based on Molecular phylogenetics, molecular genetic evidence showing distinctness of ''Liuixalus romeri'' (then known as ''Chiromantis romeri'') from the rest of ''Chiromantis.'' The genus name ''Liuixalus'' commemorates , a Chinese herpetologist. In 2021, another phylogenetic study deemed the name ''Liuixalus'' as invalidly proposed due to a lack of a diagnosis for the genus in the original study, and thus redescribed the genus as ''Romerus'', alongside morphological characteristics distinguishing it.

Data Deficient
A data deficient (DD) species is one which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as offering insufficient information for a proper assessment of conservation status to be made. This does not necessarily indicate that the species has not been extensively studied; but it does indicate that little or no information is available on the abundance and distribution of the species. The IUCN recommends that care be taken to avoid classing species as "data deficient" when the absence of records may indicate dangerously low abundance: "If the range of a taxon is suspected to be relatively circumscribed, if a considerable period of time has elapsed since the last record of the taxon, threatened status may well be justified""The Categories," in IUCN (1983). (see also precautionary principle). See also * IUCN Red List data deficient species * List of data deficient amphibians * IUCN Red List data deficient species (Annelida) * List of data deficien ...

Least-concern Species
A least-concern species is a species that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as evaluated as not being a focus of species conservation because the specific species is still plentiful in the wild. They do not qualify as threatened, near threatened, or (before 2001) conservation dependent. Species cannot be assigned the "Least Concern" category unless they have had their population status evaluated. That is, adequate information is needed to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution or population status. Evaluation Since 2001 the category has had the abbreviation "LC", following the IUCN 2001 Categories & Criteria (version 3.1). Before 2001 "least concern" was a subcategory of the "Lower Risk" category and assigned the code "LR/lc" or lc. Around 20% of least concern taxa (3261 of 15636) in the IUCN database still use the code "LR/lc", which indicates they have not been re-evaluate ...

Endangered Species
An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching and invasive species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbid hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some endangered species are the target of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration. Human activity is a significant cause in causing some species to become endangered. Conservation status The conservation status of a species indicates the likelihood that it will become extinct. Multiple factors are considered when assessing the ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Liuixalus Hainanus
''Romerus hainanus'' is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Hainan Island, China, and only known from its type locality, Mount Diaoluo in Lingshui Li Autonomous County. ''Romerus hainanus'' resembles '' Romerus ocellatus''. Little is known about this newly described species. It has been recorded from bushes and bamboo forests at mid-altitudes (about asl). It is likely negatively affected by habitat degradation and deforestation caused by smallholder A smallholding or smallholder is a small farm operating under a small-scale agriculture model.
