Nationalgeographic.co.id—New species the strange one, that is frog fanged, recently discovered in Filipina. Researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) have described that new species frog The fanged fangs are almost indistinguishable from other species on neighboring islands except on the basis of their unique mating calls and major differences in their genomes.
“This is what we call a cryptic species because it hid in the eyes of biologists for years,” he said Mark mr, a doctoral student from the Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum and the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at KU, as reported by SciTechDaily.
“Scientists for the past 100 years have thought that frog this is the same species as frog on a different island in Filipina because they can’t physically tell the difference. We ran a lot of analyzes—and they did look identical to the naked eye—however, they were genetically isolated. We also found differences in their mating calls. They sound very different. So it’s a case of using acoustics to determine that species are distinct, as well as new genetic information,” said Herr, lead author of the study report. invention on new species the.
