Variation in habitat use and breeding pattern of ranid and rhacophorid

Bhagyashree Panda

Abstract :

Ranids are confined to permanent ponds rich with hydrophytes or thick vegetation nearby. Polypedates maculatus is arboreal in nature and frequently encountered near human habitation. Breeding activities differ greatly in between ranids and rhacophorids and also in sympatric species of ranid. Ranid amplecting pairs move and eggs are laid in scattered manner and adhered to aquatic plants. Foam nest in rhacophorid is adhered to twigs above the water level. There is no correlation between body size variation in pigmentation or characteristic colouration are observed in tadpoles of ranids and rhacophorids. Different teeth row formulae are observed in tadpoles at the same stage of development.
