Nocturnal climbing frogs have also experienced stronger natural selection for this trait, likely giving them an advantage when traversing branches and jumping between trees. Meanwhile, frogs active on ...

More than ten frog generations have lived and died since the accident, suggesting that a very fast process of natural selection — radiation killing green frogs — may explain why dark frogs are ...

Research on Chernobyl frogs has shown that the ionising radiation caused by the accident triggered a process of natural selection among these animals.

The researchers think that these behaviors have to do with natural selection, and male frogs are making sure that their eggs make it to their next life stages.

Researchers attributed the color variation to natural selection, ... “On average, tree frogs inhabiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone were remarkably darker,” researchers wrote.

"More than ten generations of frogs have passed since the accident and a classic, although very fast, process of natural selection may explain why these dark frogs are now the dominant type for ...

How many generations does it take to change, for example, a Dalmation to be either pure white or pure black if you applied 100% selection? Those frogs would also have a higher mutation rate due to ...

KSAT goes on late-night frog expedition at Natural Bridge Caverns to see what’s croaking in the water Habitat survey underway at Wuest family ranch to learn more about native Texas frogs.

The burrowing frog, a micro-endemic and endangered species, depends on these ecosystems to survive. Protecting it is protecting our biodiversity and natural heritage!" says the petition.

Because one of the frogs surfaced from its flowery snack clad in pollen, Dr. Toledo said, the team hypothesized that it was “actually very likely” that the species aids milk fruit tree ...
