Recent Scientific Publications Amphibians, a unique group of vertebrates containing over 6,000 known species, are threatened worldwide. A recent assessment of the entire group (globalamphibians.org) found that nearly one-third (32%) of the world’s amphibian species are threatened, representing 1,856 species. Amphibians have existed on earth for a very long time (~300 million years), yet very recently (the last several decades) nearly 168 species are believed to have gone extinct and at least 2,469 (43%) species are declining in population, indicating that the number of threatened species will probably continue to rise (Stuart et al. 2004). Amphibian species diversity is highest in the tropics.

These animals' ancestors were the first to venture out from the water and adapt to life on land. Amphibian larvea are often aquatic and go through a complex metamorphosis process as they grow to adulthood. They have moist skin and do not have scales, feathers or hair. Amphibians first appeared during the Devonian Period (Paleozoic Era), 370 million years ago. By that time, several types of fishes had developed lungs. Among those lung-bearing fishes were the lobe-finned fishes (Crossopterygians) and the lungfishes (Dipnoans). The Crossopterygians are believed to be the ancestors of amphibians. They evolved several key features that enabled them to colonize land:

    Extractions: When you are done with this section, take the Amphibians Quiz Amphibians are one of the classes of chordates. The word amphibian means both sides of life. This is because the amphibian begins its life in the water and then finishes it mainly on land. The change of an animal in its appearance from baby to adult is called metamorphosis . An amphibian goes through metamorphosis as it grows from a baby to an adult. The amphibian, because it must be moist, sometimes hides out in the summer as if hibernating. This is called estivation . It also buries itself in the mud during the winter and hibernates to prevent it from freezing as it is cold blooded. Common amphibians include frogs, toads and salamanders. They are, on the whole, quite small vertebrates. System Type Amphibians System Muscular-Skeletal An amphibian has an inner skeleton with a backbone. It has webbed feet, but no claws. They have attached limbs at the shoulders and hips. With the frog and toad, the front legs are shorter and weaker and the rear legs much stronger for leaping. Digestion An amphibian takes in food through the mouth. The frog has a long tongue that it whips out and grabs insects with. It has a digestive system with stomach, intestines.

When they grow up, they change shape, or metamorphosize . They eventually lose their gills and tails , and grow front and hind legs. Baby frogs, toads, or salamanders are called tadpoles .

30. Amphibians And Reptiles Of North Carolina
    Guide to the herpetofauna of North Carolina which includes photographs, descriptions and frog calls.  
    http://www.herpsofnc.org/
    
    Extractions: Herpetology Lab HomePage A mphibians and reptiles are important, but often overlooked, components of many southeastern ecosystems. Recently, many amphibian and reptile populations have experienced drastic declines, thus increasing the need for studies of their biology and conservation. Many amphibians and reptiles may be especially susceptible to environmental degradation, thus making them potentially important indicators of overall environmental health. T he purpose of this web site is to foster an appreciation of amphibians and reptiles and to provide information regarding their biology and conservation, focusing on those species occuring in North Carolina. On this web site, you will find information on every species of amphibian and reptile found in North Carolina, information on conservation efforts in North Carolina, and an interesting section on amphibian and reptile facts and myths. Additionally, we have included a section designed "just for kids." This web site was orginially developed as a class project by students in the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Class at Davidson College during the Spring of 1999. It has been updated and modified by many students since that time.

32. Amphibians: Why Study Them?
    While that is obvious, historically amphibians were the only vertebrate that could be easily studied using experimental techniques.

    Extractions: Amphibians are a convenient system for studying vertebrate development for several reasons: They're vertebrates . While that is obvious, historically amphibians were the only vertebrate that could be easily studied using experimental techniques. Not only are they vertebrates, but amphibians (except for caecilians, an unusual order of amphibians) are tetropods, so they have all of the fundamental features of land-dwelling vertebrates. They undergo external development , so they can be observed and relatively easily manipulated. They are physically large . Mature Xenopus oocytes are 1 mm in diameter, which is an order of magnitude larger than a mouse oocyte, for example. Ambystoma oocytes are even larger. Their development is relatively rapid; they go from fertilization through neurulation in approximately 18 hrs. at 22 deg. C.

35. CHECKLIST OF FLORIDA AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES
    A complete list of the species and subspecies of amphibians and reptiles in the State of Florida is provided, together with their common names and  
    http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/FL-GUIDE/Flaherps.htm
    
    Extractions: An on-line fieldguide to Florida's amphibian and reptile fauna is under construction. When complete, it will allow the user to identify all these animals in the field; will provide color photographs and line drawings of the species; will describe their geographic distribution, particularly in Florida; and furnish notes on their ecology and behavior. The FLMNH's 'Online Guide to the Snakes of Florida' and 'Guide to the Venomous Snakes of Florida' already are on-line. Please watch these pages for the appearance of the full fieldguide to Florida's amphibians and reptiles. In the meantime, a simple checklist of the amphibians and reptiles known to occur in Florida is being provided. In the compilation that follows, the species are listed alphabetically by scientific name, first by genus, then by species and subspecies. Amateur and professional herpetologists familiar with amphibian and reptile systematics undoubtedly would prefer to have the species grouped together under the appropriate families, but the general public should find the alphabetical list easier to use until the fieldguide goes on-line. Exotic (non-native) species which have been introduced (escaped or were released) and now have breeding populations in Florida are noted. The frequency with which introductions are occurring makes any list of Florida herps out of date almost as soon as it is compiled. That undoubtedly is the case with the list that follows.

    Extractions: frogs, toads, salamanders and caecilians. The word means double lifemany species spend part of their life in aquatic (water) and terrestrial (land) environments. Because their skin lacks a shell, scales or outer drier covering, most amphibians live in wet or damp situations to prevent dehydration. Did you know metamorphosis is when... various animals undergo major changes in their body appearance and structure as they grow. They undergo meta (change) in their morpho (form). For instance, frogs lay eggs which grow into tadpoles, which undergo a dramatic change into froglets and finally grow to be an adult frog. The key thing in metamorphosis is a rapid, drastic change in form, for example from the tadpole to the frog. Butterflies are another example of animals that undergo metamorphosis, from a caterpillar to a flying butterfly. Did you know a bio-indicator is...

    Extractions: Head of Pacific Giant Salamander. photo by Marc Hayes Amphibians of Washington Washington is home to 27 species of amphibians, including 14 salamanders (all native) and 11 native and 2 non-native frogs. Two species of salamanders occur only in Washington and nowhere else in the world! Many of the other local amphibians are unique to the Pacific Northwest. In fact, three entire families of amphibians (Dicamptodontidae, Rhyacotritonidae, and Ascaphidae) are endemic to the Pacific Northwest (that is, the entire family is found only in the Northwest); all of the amphibian species in these three endemic families are specialized for life in the clear, cool streams of Pacific Northwest forests. We invite you to explore the diversity of northwestern amphibians as shown below in our checklist. You can see pictures and learn more about many of these species by clicking on the links below. Photographs and information about more species will be added soon, so check back regularly!
