Ranidae

Also known as True frog

Ranidae is a family of frogs, sometimes called "true frogs". They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia. The Asian range extends across the East Indies to New Guinea and a single species, the Australian wood frog (Hylarana daemelii), has spread into the far north of Australia.

AI overview

Ranidae is a family of frogs commonly known as "true frogs" that are found on nearly every continent except Antarctica, making them the most widely distributed frog family in the world. Their abundance and global presence across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and even parts of Australia make them one of the most successful and important frog groups.

蛙科（Ranidae），台灣譯赤蛙科，是無尾目的一個科，其下的蛙類分布於世界各地，除南极洲外，其他各洲皆有分布。赤蛙科具有平滑、潮湿的皮肤，肢大而且有力，後足趾間蹼發達。腰部纖細。骨質胸骨。水平瞳孔，日行性動物。赤蛙科体型相差很大，从个头很小的林蛙（Rana sylvatica），世界上最大的蛙巨谐蛙（Conraua goliath）曾為此科，現分入Conrauidae科。赤蛙科很多种类生活在水中，或靠近水的地方。多数种类将卵产在水中，经历蝌蚪阶段。目录 1 描述 2 系統分類學 3 分布 4 分類 5 參考文獻 6 外部連結描述本科成員擁有強健的後肢，四肢具蹼。幼生期為水生蝌蚪期，成蛙則一般可以水陸兩棲。系統分類學本科的分類目前仍有爭議，目前學界傾向將其下的亞科提升為獨立科別。分布本科成員分布相當廣泛，除南极洲外，其餘各大洲皆有分布。分布區域包含北美洲、南美洲北部、歐洲、非洲（包含馬達加斯加）、亞洲。澳洲僅有一種澳洲木蛙（英语：Papurana daemeli）（Papurana daemeli）分布於澳大利亞北部。分類目前蛙屬共分24屬，本列表參考自amphibiaweb[1]： Abavorana Oliver, Prendini, Kraus & Raxworthy, 2015 Amnirana Dubois, 1992 瀑蛙属 Amolops Cope, 1865 坳蛙属 Aubria Boulenger, 1917 拇棘蛙屬 Babinia Racheboeuf & Branisa, 1985 Chalcorana Dubois, 1992 Clinotarsus（英语：Clinotarsus） Mivart, 1869 腺蛙屬 Glandirana Fei, Ye & Huang, 1990 胡蛙属 Huia Yang, 1991 Humerana（英语：Humerana） Dubois, 1992 Hydrophylax Raf. 水蛙屬 Hylarana Tschudi, 1838 Indosylvirana Meristogenys Yang, 1991 臭蛙屬 Odorrana Fei, Ye & Huang, 1990 Papurana（英语：Papurana） Dubois, 1992 側褶蛙屬 Pelophylax Fitzinger, 1843 Pterorana（英语：Pterorana） Kiyasetuo & Khare, 1986 Pulchrana（英语：Pulchrana） Dubois, 1992 赤蛙屬 Rana Linnaeus, 1758 Sanguirana（英语：Sanguirana） Dubois, 1992 湍蛙属 Staurois Cop

Typically, true frogs are smooth and moist-skinned, with large, powerful legs and extensively webbed feet. The true frogs vary greatly in size, ranging from small—such as the wood frog (Lithobates sylvatica)—to large.
