Article Synopsis
- Amphibian calls are vital for social communication and individual identification but also make them targets for predators; researchers analyze these calls to understand population dynamics and behavior.
- In South Korea, a study found significant call property differences among populations of an unnamed anuran species on either side of Chilgap Mountain, suggesting potential taxonomic implications.
- While some geographically close populations showed notable call differences, others that were farther apart did not, indicating that observed variations may reflect population-level distinctions rather than species-level differences, necessitating further research using integrated taxonomic approaches.
Despite having some limitations, the use of skeletochronology-age determination by counting lines of arrested growth (LAGs)-in amphibians is increasing. The main limitation of using skeletochronology is identifying the innermost visible line (IVL) and counting the exact number of LAGs. Thus, we tested its applicability to , a class II endangered amphibian in South Korea.
