364 Words2 Pages

Classification
Common Name - Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog

Scientific Name - Lithobates Lemna

Kingdom - Animalia. The Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog descended from the Green Frog. Both of these frog species are part of the Animalia Kingdom. They are heterotrophs, they depend on other organisms directly or indirectly for food.

Phylum - Chordata. The Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog belongs to the Phylum Chordata. All chordates have something in common, which is their main feature, the notochord. The notochord is a rod that supports the nerve cord. This is a bundle of nerve fibers which connect the brain with the muscles and organs, and is through which messages from the brain are sent. Class - Amphibia. This species is classified under amphibia because frogs begin their lives in the water as eggs and then tadpoles and when …show more content…

The order of the Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog came from the same order in which its common ancestor, the Green Frog, came from.

Family - Ranidae. The species common ancestor, the Green Frog is classified as a True Frog. True Frogs come from the Ranidae family, which the Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frogs belong to since they evolved from the Green Frog (its common ancestor). Many of the true frogs are aquatic or live close to water. Most species lay their eggs in the water and go through a tadpole stage. However, as with most families of frogs, there is large variation of habitat within the family. The Green Frog and the Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog both live in a different habitat.

Genus - Lithobates. Lithobates is a group of true frogs, of the family Ranidae. It has been defined as a separate genus from Rana. The Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog shares the same genus as its common ancestor, the Green Frog.

Species - Lemna - Lemna is a genus of free-floating aquatic plants from the duckweed family. Duckweed is used in the species common name. Lemna is the scientific name for plants from the duckweed

    Abstract: The main focus of this lab is on animal behaviors in terrestial isopods, also known as pillbugs. There are many purposes to this lab experiment. First, these pillbugs are put into four different types of enviroments, also known as chambers, light v. dark, hot vs. cold, moisture vs. dry, and lastly shelter vs. open. In these different chambers, there are 10 pillbugs, 5 placed into each individual chamber and then observed for up to 5 – 10 minutes. In this lab we observed that pillbugs prefer light areas, hot temperatures, moist environments, and lastly sheltered spaces.

Its neck musculature, similar to that of other possibly terrestrial crocodiles, suggests that Trilophosuchus held its head above its body like monitor lizards do. Size range 1.5m long (head to tail) Distribution Trilophosuchus is known only from the Riversleigh World Heritage Fossil Site, northwestern Queensland.

    The Cane toad also referred to as Rhinella Mirina is an invasive toad species that is native to subtropic South America. Although they are native to subtropical rain forests, they show a preference for areas modified by humans such as gardens and drainage ditches. These toads reproduce very rapidly and have very few predators due to the toxin present on their skin and parotoid glands behind their eyes. These toads are considered pests due to the havoc they wreck on the other species within the ecosystem.

    The first experiment would be the most simple. In the fall before frogs start to hibernate, collect different species of frogs. In a lab you could then set up and experiment. You could simulate the winter by lowering the temperatures the frogs are living in during the lab. Then set up a few different tanks such as one with just water in it and leaves at the bottom, one with just leaves covering the bottom and one with rocks and logs.

  • Poison Frog Population Decline

    718 Words  | 3 Pages

    Around the world, poison frog populations have been declining due to unknown reasons. Two experiments were conducted promptly in order to find the cause of the disappearances. One hypothesis suggested that the poison frogs are in a decline because of an infectious fungus called chytrid fungus. On the contrary, another hypothesis alludes to the idea that decreasing leaf litter is causing the widespread decline. Although it seems that there are multiple reasons for the decline, it is unquestionable that, according to the data from the experiments, that leaf litter is one of the main components of the decreasing population of poison frogs, having multiple replicates of data is important in finding the answer to the decline, and that there is much more to investigate about this problem.

    Class: Amphibia Order: Anura Family: Ranidae Genus: Lithobates Species: Rana catesbeiana  In my term paper I would like to talk about the American Bullfrog population in the Great Lakes region, its evolutionary history, its place in the phylogenetic tree, ancestors (Gerobatrachus Hottoni, proto frogs), and nearest relatives (salamanders and caecilians), how the species has spread around the world, how it interacts with its environment, what role it plays in the ecosystem, its role as an invasive species and the threats that it poses as such, and finally argue that the main concern about the species should be safe ways to keep populations under control without harming the species or ecosystems around it. I chose to research and write about the Great-Lakes-area American Bullfrog because I began volunteering with a frog call monitoring program at the Lincoln Park Conservancy, but here is a bit of my preliminary research that may interest you as well:

    The first fossilized fish appear buried below the first fossilized amphibians which appear below the first fossilized reptiles which appear below the first fossilized birds and mammals. This is consistent with the Darwinian model of origins which says that birds and mammals evolved from reptiles which evolved from amphibians which evolved from fish. Not everything about the order in which fossils are found supports Darwin’s theory however. The basic structure of known
