About

    Amphibians are a diverse group of vertebrates that include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. These animals are known for their unique life cycle, which typically involves an aquatic larval stage and a terrestrial adult stage. Amphibians play important roles in ecosystems as both predators and prey, and they are also valuable indicators of environmental health due to their sensitivity to pollution and habitat degradation. Research in the field of amphibian biology and conservation focuses on topics such as reproductive biology, behavior, evolution, and threats to amphibian populations such as disease, habitat loss, and climate change. Overall, studying amphibians can provide valuable insights into the natural world and help inform conservation efforts to protect these fascinating creatures.
