Hello Dr. Mark!

What is the 71st best frog?

By probability alone, it's almost certainly a Pristimantis species. There are 603 species in that genus, i.e. 7.9% of all frogs are Pristimantis species, i.e. one in every 13 species is a Pristimantis. So, arbitrarily, I'm gonna go with Pristimantis erythros, because… damn

Jiminy cricket! Have you ever heard of the Pinocchio rainfrog (Pristimantis appendiculatus)? This amphibian can be found in parts of South America including Colombia and Ecuador, where it inhabits mountainous cloud forests. First described to science in 1894, new research wasn't published about the Pinocchio rainfrog until the 1970s. This species is threatened by habitat loss and pollution.

Noam Chomsky frog. Resistance-against-mining-corporation frog. J.R.R. Tolkien frog.

Always something fun going on with newly-recorded frog species in the tropical Andes.

Especially within the political borders of Ecuador and Colombia, the tropical Andes are the site of the highest local biodiversity of mammals, birds, amphibians, and plants on the planet.

For example, Colombia is home to over 730 unique species of frogs and is home to 20% of all bird species on the planet.

Saw the news, from January 2023, about the newly-described “Tolkien frog”.

From the paper:

And just a year prior, in 2022, there was the “resistance frog.”

The official common name: “rana cohete resistencia de Intag” or, roughly, “Intag’s resistance frog.”

This creature, an endemic species, lives in forest where the local Intag community/communities have for the past 30 years consistently fought against corporate mining company attempts to build copper mining infrastructure, hence the frog’s name which honors this tradition of resistance.

And then in 2019, there were a whole bunch of newly-described rain frog species also detected in Ecuador.

In this published article introducing the frogs, the researchers note the intense and “extraordinary” biodiversity even within the same species.

For example, although 11 frog species were newly described, here’s a look at the color/pattern diversity within just one single species, Pristimantis multicolor.

Another of the new species was named Pristimantis chomskyi, after Noam Chomsky:

i just learned about the Pinocchio rainfrog (Pristimantis appendiculatus) today, and my first thought was "they made a ridgeback dragon into a frog"

Feeling silly soooo here are animals I personally think Detco characters would be!

Conan: chinchilla. (Do not dampen him)

Ai: ferret?? Ferret.

Mitsuhiko: a Yorkshire terrier. Perhaps.

Ayumi: that’s a baby dove!!

Genta: raccoon. (They eat eels. Do you know how I felt learning that?)

Agasa: rabbit.

Ran: one of those wolves people think are dogs and then you’re like oh SHIT THAT PUPPY BITES

Kogoro: cat. You know why.

Akai: ??? I have no idea sorry. Mmmmm Red panda just. Because. I have to put something here. (Actually wait no?? imagine him doing the startled panda thing with his lil hands up.) (Ok thank you for imagining that have a good day)

Zero: puppy. Just a little ouppy. (jk!! Octopus.)

Heiji: bat. Fruit bat maybe.

Kazuha: sea otter. (Not a river otter!!!)

Sonoko: parrot. Bright and talkative, you get the vibe.

Kaito: that one frog that can change from being spiky to smooth in minutes. That lil fella. (I googled to make sure. It’s the mutable rain frog. Pristimantis mutabilis.)

Aoko: blue morpho butterfly. (But that’s not an animal— ok!! I would have a whole post of detco characters as insects and bugs and etc if I wasn’t preoccupied with the idea of them as animals!!)

Bonus Shiratori: bet you thought swan. Nah. Peacock.

Six New Species of Rain Frog Discovered

Researchers in Ecuador have discovered six new species of rain frog across two national parks, situated in the Ecuadorean Andes.

The species, all of which were discovered by Ecuadorean herpetologists Jhael Ortega, Jorge Brito and Santiago Ron, were all found within a 20 km radius of deforested areas. Ortega, Brito, and Ron have all recommended that the frogs be added to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) red list of threatened species.

The frogs are all members of the Pristimantis genus, of which there are 550 different species, occupying areas ranging from Honduras through to northern Argentina and Brazil. The largest population of frogs occupies Colombia and Ecuador.

Ron explained that they had decided to name one of the species resistencia (resistance), after all the environmental activists who have been killed in Latin America. More environmentalists were killed in Latin America than in any other region of the world last year, making this a fitting tribute.

These findings have far-reaching effects on the cumulative threat connected with early-life fiscal negative aspect along with years as a child maltreatment.

All protection under the law set-aside.The actual advertisement cell phone calls of the frog varieties Leptodactylus lithonaetes and Pristimantis vilarsi tend to be referred to the very first time depending on cell phone calls registered in the Venezuelan Condition of Amazonas. The letter of D. lithonaetes contains a general similarity compared to that associated with D. rugosus, advising any sister-group connection between the two species. The phone call associated with Pristimantis vilarsi is comparable to the ones from other varieties inside the G. conspicillatus varieties party.There is certainly data to compliment the part of alpha-synuclein throughout generator impulsivity, however the extrapolation of this locating along with other varieties of impulsivity remains elucidated. These studies aims to look into the role of alpha-synuclein throughout selection impulsivity/risky decision-making using a mouse form of the Ks Playing Task (mIGT). Two strains involving mice that fluctuate inside the expression of the alpha-synuclein gene, the actual C57BL/6JOlaHsd (HA) along with C57BL/6J (CR), have been analyzed inside the mIGT. Haya these animals alter from their particular CR ancestors and forefathers throughout possessing a genetic removal inducing the lack of two genes: snca, development alpha-synuclein along with mmrn1, computer programming multimerin-1. Rodents were been trained in the mIGT till a stable design regarding responding has been reached and so the severe results of ethanol and also cocaine within alternative personal preference were looked at. Zero distinctions between your strains had been evident within risky decision-making in any of the findings, yet HA rats showed constantly lowered numbers of early answering in comparison with CR rats, validating period of time engine impulsivity found in a previous examine. Ethanol would not get a new number of advantageous choices either in strain, even though drug greater the actual high-risk selection behavior by simply helping the area of disadvantageous alternatives in the ranges. We provide additional evidence for the effort involving alpha-synuclein within electric motor impulsivity as well as claim that alpha-synuclein won't lead to risky decision-making because examined from the mIGT.Darling RA, Ritter Utes. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose, but not mercaptoacetate, improves diet inside decerebrate subjects.

Espada's Robber Frog (Pristimantis galdi), family Strabomantidae, Reserva Tapichalaca, Ecuador

This genus of frogs was once placed in the family Leptodactylidae, and many of the frogs in this genus were once considered to be in the genus Eleuthrodactylus.

what do you think abt my good friend Litoria pinocchio ....?....

Well firstly I did not know you could add styles to asks now, so that's new and exciting.

Secondly, that's a four and a half star frog (based on John Green's Anthropocene Reviewed scale) if ever there was one.

It bears a striking resemblance to Pristimantis appendiculatus, at least as far as rostral ornamentation goes.

pristimantis achatinus (common names: cachabi robber frog, pastures rainfrog) is a species of frog in the family craugastoridae. It is found from eastern panama through colombia to western ecuador. its natural habitats are both lowland and montane habitats: forest clearings, road cuts in forest, and banana, cacao and coffee plantations, as well as in forested areas. it is mostly terrestrial, sometimes occurring off the ground in vegetation. it is a very common frog.
