Dear all,
In literature, we may frequently face with the term "stream breeding/spring breeding" amphibian. There is likewise the term of "stream dwelling/spring dwelling" amphibian. I need to know which taxonomic groups are stream dwelling and which one are spring dwelling.
Any idea would be appreciated.
Forough
In central america at least, stream dwelling frogs mostly consist of hylidae, treefrogs etc. that lay their eggs in water sources; congregating alongside streams in the breeding season. Whilst i am unfamiliar with the term spring breeding frogs, i know that there are also direct developing species such as craugastor sp., where the eggs develop on land without a tadpole stage... Hope this helps 😊
Our expertes with the treefrogs - this is more strange place for frogs ...
in the reason of good water reserves, for exemple in the marin beach!
Micrixalidae is a family of 'Torrent Frogs' as they are found only in the fast flowing streams of evergreen forests of Western Ghats. And in one species, there is a report of tadpoles from the sand beds of forested streams.
