    Extractions: Michigan Bird Conservation Initiative ... [Text Version] There are more than 3400 species of frogs and toads worldwide, with the majority living in the humid tropics. Michigan can boast only 13 species, but they are an important part of the State's wildlife heritage. Classification Frogs and toads, along with the salamanders, are members of the class Amphibia. Amphibians are characterized by a life cycle which begins with an unshelled egg laid in water, the egg hatches into a fish like, gill breathing larva (called a tadpole or polliwog in frogs and toads), followed by the transformation of the larva into an adult. During this transformation, the larva gradually develops legs, lungs, and other modifications for life as an air breathing adult capable of living on land. Sometimes this transformation occurs inside the egg, with the animal hatching out as an “adult,” but all of Michigan's frogs and toads, have a typical aquatic (water living) tadpole stage. Most amphibians have rather thin skins through which they can "breathe" and absorb or lose water. Because of this, they prefer to live in moist or wet habitats.

    Extractions: What is the difference between frogs and toads? What is difference between frogs and toads? For one thing, toads have dry, warty skin, while frogs have smooth, wet skin. Toads and frogs have many similarities, including the way they look. But there are some basic differences between them. For one thing, toads have dry, warty skin, while frogs have smooth, wet skin. Both toads and frogs are amphibians, and belong to a class of vertebrate animals that includes salamanders. But they differ from salamanders because their bodies are short and lack tails. What does amphibian mean exactly? It means the animal has two lives: the aquatic larval stage, known as tadpole, and the semi-aquatic or terrestrial adult stage. There are about 2,770 species of toads and frogs, some of them, like the Goliath frog of Africa, weighing as much as five pounds, and the tiny Sminthillus limbalus of Cuba, which is only a half-inch long. Besides toads having dry, warty skin, while frogs have wet, smooth skin, there are other basic differences between them. Frogs have tiny teeth on both upper and lower jaws, while toads lack any teeth. Frogs have longer hind legs than toads. So frogs jump, while toads hop. And when it comes to laying their eggs, female toads lay them in long, parallel strings, while female frogs lay their eggs singly, in small or large clumps, on the water surface. Both frogs and toads have voices and make a sound. Both a male toad and frog produces his call by a rapid back-and-forth movement of air over his vocal cords. And both toad and frog will close its mouth and nasal opening and force air from its lungs into the mouth, then force the air back over the vocal chords into the lungs. Because they are able to do this, it enables these animals to vocalize even under water. They use their enlarged throat or expandable vocal sac to resonate their calls.

    Extractions: SUNY-ESF was ranked among the nation's top universities by U.S. News and World Report. Story HERE Most everyone recognizes frogs. Frogs, like salamanders and newts, are amphibians. Unlike salamanders, they have made a major evolutionary detour from the body plan of their ancient ancestors. The hind legs of frogs are much larger than the forelegs and the tail has disappeared. This allows a new mode of locomotion, namely jumping, an effective method to elude their many predators. Because they leave the ground to get around, using scent to communicate with each other is not a viable option, as it is for salamanders. Consequently, frogs are among the most vocal of vertebrate animals (birds fly, so they vocalize a lot as well!). Frogs in New York fall into four major groups (families) linked by anatomy and other features of their biology. Toads American toad The similar Fowler's toad is found in the southeastern part of the state and on Long Island. It has many warts in each of the dark spots on its back and sides, while the American toad has one or two warts per spot.

    Extractions: The message is definitely green . . . . . . but it's not just for hardcore frogophiles. Of Frogs and Toads : Poetry and Short Prose About Amphibians, edited by Jill Carpenter, collects what 70 contemporary writers ranging from Pulitzer Prizewinners to a first-published author claim to have learned from a decidedly cold-blooded muse. Of Frogs and Toads explores everything from "frog storms" to the place of amphibians in fable and folklore. It is a mirth-filled celebration of warty creatures who are princes in disguise, as well as a lament for the precariousness of their existence in our modern world. Here also is a range of human encounters with amphibians: in the toilet (creating a plumbing problem), in a biology laboratory (flexing like a ballerina), even under a pot of geraniums (organizing their social order like a quadrille). Here are frogs the size of a bottle cap, with eyes as big as doorknobs, and a giant Cameroonian frog that hangs in the National Geographic Hall like an abandoned diver's suit.

Both play crucial roles in the ecosystem and the health of their populations is a good indicator of the health of the environment. Amphibians and reptiles are important to your garden for the role they play in keeping pest populations under control. The majority of reptiles and amphibians are carnivorous, preying on rodents or insects, though some, such as turtles, also eat vegetable matter. Amphibians and reptiles are important in controlling populations of slugs, rodents, and insects. Garter snakes are one of the major predators on slugs. One toad can eat well over 1,000 earwigs in a summer. Attracting these creatures to your garden can therefore be very beneficial. what are amphibians and reptiles?

Population declines seem to be particularly severe in the western United States. The native frogs and toads displayed on these cards (except the bullfrog) have been some of the most affected in California. Frogs and toads are both predators and prey in the aquatic food web. They are important for the survival of other species as food, and they help keep the insects they eat in a balance. These amphibians are relatively long-lived and utilize both terrestrial and aquatic habitats at different stages in their life histories.

    Extractions: Frogs and Toads of the Chicago Region The Chicago Region includes all counties within a 75-mile radius of downtown Chicago and covers parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Before 1800, the region was a highly diverse series of environments including prairie, oak savanna, sand areas, eastern forest, and marshes like those on the lake plain and near the Kankakee River. By about 13,000 years before the present, glacial ice which formerly covered the region had retreated. The environment then was a wild place. Giant lakes and huge floods helped sculpt the features left behind by the glacier while plants and animals attempted to gain a toehold in the rapidly changing environment.

They are found throughout most of the world, except in polar regions, and some oceanic islands and extremely xeric deserts. Anuran diversity is greatest in the tropics. Twenty-five families are currently recognized, representing more than 4,000 species, with more being discovered regularly. This clade is also referred to as Batrachia and is placed in superorder Salientia. There is no scientific distinction between "frogs" and "toads," although most anurans are usually referred to as one or the other. Anurans have several synapomorphies that distinguish them from other amphibians. The name, Anura, meaning "without tail," identifies one of these: with one exception ( Ascaphus Despite extensive research on the evolutionary history of amphibians, phylogenetic relationships among the three orders of extant amphibians remain problematic. Of three possible histories, the only one that has not been seriously considered is an

     Extractions: Frogs and toads are amphibians , which means they live their lives both in water and on land. Typically, frogs breed and spend thier juvenile (or "larval" ) stage in the water, then spend some or virtually all of their adult lives on the land. Frogs and toads are distinguished from salamanders (which are also amphibians) by the fact that adults do not have a tail. Do all frogs live in the water? No. The amount of time that adults spend in the water varies enormously. Bullfrogs and green frogs, although they have lungs and breathe air, spend almost all their adult lives in the water. On the other end of the spectrum, toads and treefrogs spend the majority of their adulthood outside of water. All frogs and toads, however, must eventually come back to the water to mate and lay eggs. Why do the eggs have to be in water? Amphibian eggs do not have a hard protective shell like bird or reptile eggs. Frogs and toads lay eggs in jelly-like masses, and unless the eggs are covered with water, they will dry up and die. Most amphibian eggs become much bigger after they are laid because the eggs absorb water and swell to several times their original volume! What are tadpoles?
