Meet the Yuchi Music Frog, a Newfound Species That Sings |
點閱次數: 130 |
| Among Taiwan’s native amphibians, the frog long identified as Nidirana okinavana has the narrowest known distribution and the smallest remaining population size. It was previously thought to occur only on Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands in the southern Ryukyus and in Nantou County, Taiwan. A collaborative study by National Taiwan Normal University, the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute demonstrated that the Taiwanese and Ryukyu populations differ markedly and should be treated as separate species. This taxonomic revision adds one more species to Taiwan’s endemic frog fauna. The newly named Yuchi music frog is now also recognized as one of the most endangered frogs in the world.more |
