Caecilians

Forest-dweller Shallow depths of humus soil and underneath rotting logs Altitudinal range from sea level to about 1000 masl Larvae were recorded from pool of mountain streams

Philippine Caecilians

Habitat: ◦ Occupy a variety of habitats ◦ Areas with adequate plant cover and moisture, near human habitations, in cultivated areas, and in various microhabitats in forest

Philippine Anurans

Arboreal in habit Tips of their fingers and toes are expanded and usually developed webs in hands and feet In tropical rain forest, exist in microhabitat such as aerial ferns, Pandanus, and some aroid plants

Philippine frogs

Some have definite breeding season

Rana cancrivora, Kaloula conjuncta

Breed continuously throughout the year

Rana erythraea, Occidozyga laevis

Species with no definite breeding season

Platymantis, Sanguirana everetti, Limnonectes leytensis

-eggs of this species are laid in small volumes of water in leaf axils -Tadpoles develop depending entirely upon the yolk for they do not feed due to lack of functional mouth parts -Lack external gills instead used vascularized tail fins for respiration

Pelophryne brevipes

Eggs are laid in non-aquatic situations Development occurs entirely within the egg capsules Differences in the later development (Limb bud stage, limb paddle, and operculum stages, metamorphosis) Respire by means of the large abdominal sacs, and depend entirely upon the egg yolk for nutrition

Platymantis spp.

same with Platymantis but differs in the respiration process Tail is enlarged and has wide fine that are liberally supplied with blood vessel

Philautus

Hylarana erythraea lives for about __ years and Fejervaria cancrivora about ___ years

4, 3

: stops calling and grasps any female that comes near them

Bufo males

amplex females only after the females have touched them

Hyla males

Requires female to posture in front of the male

Polypedates leucomystax

Interspecific amplexus between ___ Peters, 1867 and ____ (Günther, 1858) on Mindanao Island, Philippines

Kalophrynus sinensis, Occidozyga laevis

The process of animals protecting themselves from hot and dry summer by migrating to cool places and remaining dormant for a period is called ____.
