From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Canebrake tree frogs
(
Aplastodiscus
) are a group of
frogs
in the family
Hylidae
. They live in southeastern
Brazil
near the
Atlantic Ocean
.
[1]
One frog,
Aplastodiscus pervirdis
, also lives in
Argentina
, and it might live in
Paraguay
.
[2]
At first,
Aplastodiscus
had two frog species in it. In 2005, frog scientists looked at Hylidae again and decided that 12 more frogs should go into
Aplastodiscus
. They moved them into
Aplastodiscus
from
Hyla
.
[3]
Now, there are 16 species in
Aplastodiscus
.
[4]
There are currently 16 species in
Aplastodiscus
:
- Aplastodiscus albofrenatus
(A. Lutz, 1924)
- Aplastodiscus albosignatus
(A. Lutz and B. Lutz, 1938)
- Aplastodiscus arildae
(Cruz and Peixoto, 1987)
- Aplastodiscus cavicola
(Cruz and Peixoto, 1985)
- Aplastodiscus cochranae
(Mertens, 1952)
- Aplastodiscus ehrhardti
(Muller, 1924)
- Aplastodiscus eugenioi
(Carvalho-e-Silva and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2005)
- Aplastodiscus flumineus
(Cruz and Peixoto, 1985)
- Aplastodiscus heterophonicus
(
Pinheiro, Pezzuti, Berneck, Lyra, Lima & Leite, 2021
)
- Aplastodiscus ibirapitanga
(Cruz, Pimenta, and Silvano, 2003)
- Aplastodiscus leucopygius
(Cruz and Peixoto, 1985)
- Aplastodiscus lutzorum
(Berneck, Giaretta, Brandao, Cruz & Haddad, 2017)
- Aplastodiscus musicus
(B. Lutz, 1949)
- Aplastodiscus perviridis
(A. Lutz
in
B. Lutz, 1950)
- Aplastodiscus sibilatus
(Cruz, Pimenta, and Silvano, 2003)
- Aplastodiscus weygoldti
(Cruz and Peixoto, 1987)
Currently, none of the species are
in danger of dying out
.
[5]
But there are fewer of some frogs than others. Human beings change the
places where they live
to build houses, farms, and towns. Pollution, climate change, and disease can also hurt these frogs. Some
invasive species
can kill this frog.
[6]
[5]
Many of the species are
data deficient
. That means that scientists do not know enough about them to know if they are in danger or not.
