Study Notes

Who We Are

The back cover is a prime location for an "elevator pitch."
Summarize your products or services quickly and attractively.
Include a couple of key takeaways that grab attention.
Keep the information brief, friendly, and reader-friendly.

Amphibians are vertebrate tetrapods including frogs, salamanders, and caecilians.
The term "amphibian" loosely translates from Greek as "dual life."
Many Amphibians undergo metamorphosis, having both aquatic and terrestrial phases.
Amphibians required water for reproduction
They evolved during the Devonian period as the earliest terrestrial tetrapods
They signify an evolutionary transition from water to land, evident in both their life development and evolutionary history.
Their morphology has changed little over the past 350 million years.

Taxonomic Classification

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Subclasses: Temnospondyli (extinct), Lepospondyli (extinct), Lissamphibia (modern amphibians)
Orders: Anura (frogs, toads), Urodela or Caudata (salamanders), Gymnophiona (caecilians)

Representative Species: Hellbender

The Hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) is a large aquatic salamander.
Native to eastern North America
Adults typically measure between 30 cm (12 inches) and 60 cm (24 inches) in length, though some individuals can grow up to 74 cm (29 inches).
Its body is elongated and robust, with a broad head and a flattened, muscular tail that assist in swimming.
Wrinkled skin increases surface area for gas exchange and moisture retention, while the skin's slime protects from pathogens.
Coloration is typically brown or grayish with darker markings, helping camouflage against rocky streambeds.
Primarily nocturnal and secretive; hides during the day under rocks or crevices.

Representative Species: Tree Frogs

Tree frogs are typically small to medium-sized amphibians, ranging from 2 cm to 10 cm in length.
They are commonly green or brown with various colors and patterns for camouflage in leafy environments.
These frogs primarily inhabit wetlands like ponds, lakes, marshes, and swamps, typically near dense vegetation.
The moist environments are essential for their survival because their skin is essential for respiration.
They are insectivores, consuming insects and other small invertebrates, employing a "sit-and-wait" hunting strategy.
They use long, sticky tongues to capture prey.
They are primarily found in tropical and temperate regions

African Clawed Frog

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is an aquatic frog native to sub-Saharan Africa.
They have a streamlined, robust body, typically measuring 6–12 cm (2.4–4.7 in).
Smooth, grayish skin provides camouflage in muddy waters.
They have claws on their hind legs, used for digging and foraging.
An aquatic lifestyle with webbed feet makes them excellent swimmers.
They are carnivorous, consuming smaller fish, invertebrates, and plants.
They typically inhabit freshwater environments like ponds, lakes, swamps, and marshes.

Hymenochirus Boettgerii

Hymenochirus boettgerii, also known as the dwarf clawed frog, is a small aquatic frog.
Native to West and Central Africa, it dwells in slow-moving rivers, streams, and pools with soft, sandy, or muddy bottoms.
It typically measures between 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in)
Carnivorous, consuming small invertebrates such as brine shrimp, water fleas, worms and small insects,
Active at night or in low-light conditions; relies on touch and smell to locate food.

Pipa Pipa

The Surinam toad (Pipa pipa) is a unique amphibian found in tropical rainforests of South America.
Known for its unusual appearance. it is typically found in stream environments
Flattened, broad body that allows seamless blending with the riverbed substrate.
Mostly brown or Gray.
Its eyes are placed on top of the head, offering excellent visibility of surroundings
Carnivorous, feeding on small invertebrates including insects, worms, snails and crustaceans.
Engages in aquatic reproduction, with eggs laid and fertilized in temporary or permanent bodies of water
The eggs are secured to the female's back.

Amphiuma

Amphiuma are aquatic salamanders inhabiting the southeastern United States.
Their bodies are long, eel-like, and smooth; typically range from black to brownish hues.
They have external gills, remaining throughout their adult lives.
Inhabit swampy or otherwise slow-moving water environments.
Carnivorous, with prey including worms, snails, crustaceans, and small fish.

Newts

Newts belong to the family Salamandridae, found in the Northern Hemisphere.
They are slender, elongated bodies, often possessing striking coloration.
Moist skin allows for cutaneous respiration; some species also have lungs.
Primarily terrestrial, but spending part of their lives in water for reproduction.
Typically feed on small invertebrates, insects, worms, and snails (sit and wait predator)

Mudpuppies

Mudpuppies (Necturus maculosus) are aquatic salamanders found in the eastern United States and parts of Canada.
Large, robust bodies with smooth slimy skin.
External gills are present throughout their whole life
Inhabit slow-moving streams, rivers, lakes, and swamps, often near densely vegetated bottoms.
Carnivorous, feeding on small invertebrates, amphibian larvae, and small fish (sit-and-wait predator).

Giant Salamanders

Giant salamanders are some of the largest amphibians, belonging to the family Cryptobranchidae.
Impressive sizes, often exceeding 1.5 meters.
Two main species (Chinese and Japanese) and one related North American species (hellbender).
Notable for their neotenic characteristics (retaining juvenile traits like external gills) throughout their adult lives.
Inhabit cold, clear, fast-flowing streams and rivers in mountainous regions; some inhabit lakes
Carnivorous, consuming aquatic animals like fish, invertebrates, and smaller amphibians

Tiger Salamanders

Tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum) are large terrestrial salamanders in North America.
Distinctive yellow or white markings on a dark body.
They are primarily terrestrial, though they need water for reproduction.
Consume a variety of prey, including insects, worms, snails, and small amphibians.

Sirens

Sirens are aquatic salamanders (family Sirenidae), distinguished by eel-like bodies and long, slender appearance.
Retain larval features and possess external gills throughout life.
Prefer slow-moving, shallow, freshwater wetlands and swamps.
Carnivorous, with a diet consisting primarily of small invertebrates like worms, insects, snails, and crustaceans, using a suction feeding technique.
