( 1973 ) . rehder presented 11 species of living harps . there have been many new taxa proposed since 1973 . all but one are now generally accepted as forms of one or the other of the 11 species addressed by rehder . only

rehder , 1993 is mostly accepted as a valid addition to his 1973 list . whether or not all 11 of the taxa addressed by rehder ( plus

) are truly separate species or if the many localized forms given species / subspecies names actually represent separate species will have to await a comprehensive dna analysis .

( two or one blotch ) to be able to accept his argument . i would also note that the characters described for

( “body whorl … more broadly ovate and rounded , ” “ribs tend to be narrower and more distant” ) . my own opinion is that

species addressed by rehder and the " accepted " species addressed 31 and 42 years later .

. indo - pacific mollusca , volume 3 , no . 16 . delaware museum of natural history .

are quite variable within populations and across geographic range . so variable that they occur readily across taxa , especially those that share common geographic distributions and influences , and most often cannot be relied upon to distinguish between species when confronted with a particular specimen . in my presentations i have limited the features discussed to those that should be relied upon to distinguish among taxa . i have presented the protoconchs for all , but did not find this feature to be helpful ( too variable , too often missing or incomplete , and too similar ) in distinguishing among taxa , except in a few cases (

) . i did not find color to be helpful for taxa that are otherwise close and from the same locales . i did not find reliance on “blotching” to be more than partially helpful without linkage to other confirming features . i have addressed the distribution of parietal glazing and found it to be quite helpful and distinctive for many taxa ( especially when linked to other features ) , but not decidedly so for the most problematic taxa (

) . i do not present a general description of each taxa , which is available many places elsewhere ( see rehder 1973 ) . rather , for some i present some background information and then start my descriptions with the parietal glazing and follow with those features that i found can best be used to distinguish among taxa .

the following table presents the features i found best allow identifying and distinguishing the 12 taxa . the green cells describe key features that should be identified first ( and in some taxa , alone or linked to other “greens , ” are sufficient to identify a taxon ) . the pink cells describe features very helpful in narrowing the possibilities for otherwise similar taxa . the yellow cells describe features that i found very consistently separate taxa within the geographic range of

. i apologize for the tiny text in the table , but i wanted to get it all on one page .

, and from a dozen to several dozen for the others , limited examination of shells displayed at shell shows by exhibitors and dealers , some images from the web ( usually too poor to be helpful ) , and images in literature ( also usually also too poor to be helpful ) . obviously , my sample is limited in terms of actual material for close examination , and my conclusions should be tempered accordingly . i would be happy to hear from those with specimens in any of these taxa that question or confirm my observations (

) . however , i would also hope that you can provide good quality photos or would be willing to loan the specimens for a photo session . i will continue to add to these presentations with comments or more photos / material contributed by other fans of

. three terms ( subsutural plateau , shoulder and t ) should be understood . normally , “shoulder” refers to the area from the suture to an inflection point ( a pronounced downward angle ) or , when absent , the periphery . all

, the shoulder would normally be the area from suture to the inflection point ( where spines are located ) . i have defined the area from the suture to the inflection point as the subsutural plateau . and , when i refer to the shoulder , i am referring narrowly to the spiral line representing the inflection where the subsutural plateau turns downward ( and is where the rib spines normally occur ) . i have observed that all mature

has three . as a matter of shorthand i may use t1 , t2 , t3 or t4 to refer to the teleoconch whorls . so ,

tulane university journal publishing is an open access , peer - reviewed journal publishing service which provides a web - based platform for scholarly and academic publishing to the tulane community .

tulane studies in geology and paleontology was devoted primarily to the geology and paleontology of the coasts and adjacent land areas of the gulf of mexico and the caribbean sea . each number

the journal was published between 1962 and 1997 . this is a collection of the entire run of the journal .

for all scientific names see vol . 10 , no . 4 ( taxonomic index to vol . 1 - 10 ) ; vol . 20 , no . 4 ( taxonomic index to vol . 11 to 20 ) ; vol . 30 , no . 4 ( taxonomic index to vol . 21 to 30 ) .

the past half century has seen dramatic changes in the world of scientific publishing ; changes that will continue in the next few decades . the newest generations of ( geo ) scientists have come of age in an environment where the research literature is almost entirely accessed online and visits to physical library collections are becoming increasingly rare . on one hand , these developments have led to the proliferation of new journals , most of which only exist online , and many of the latest additions are open - access journals . on the other hand , several older publication venues have come to a close .

it is now 20 years ago that the last issue of tulane studies in geology and paleontology ( initially known as tulane studies in geology ) appeared . coincidental or not , 1997 was right around the time that scientific publishing rapidly migrated to the internet . initiated in 1962 , tsgp has published more than 5000 pages of peer - reviewed research , in many cases by faculty members and graduate students in tulane’s department of geology . series like tsgp proliferated for many years , in part based on the extensive exchange schemes that existed between academic libraries . editing was carefully done in house , constituting a major time commitment for the faculty members who served as editors . even though the series was discontinued a while ago , the research published in tsgp has had a lasting impact . it continues to be cited on a regular basis and typically accrues 20 to 30 citations annually according to the web of science .

the tulane undergraduate research journal is a peer - reviewed research journal publishing articles from multiple academic fields . our goal is to unite the best undergraduate research from the tulane community and represent all academic fields producing a spectrum of high - quality and diverse work .

an online undergraduate journal featuring case studies authored by the newcomb scholars , an elite cohort of undergraduate women at tulane university .

the journal of community health promotion and research , sponsored by the tulane prevention research center ( prc ) , was planned to share information about public health work and disease - prevention programs focusing on the physical and social environment in the new orleans area .

the mission of the tulane prc is to address the physical and social environmental factors influencing the obesity epidemic and its behavioral determinants ( physical activity and diet ) through participatory research on these factors and ways to modify them ; collaboration with community partners and policy - makers ; communication about these factors with public health practitioners , policy - makers , and community partners ; and training of public health professionals , paraprofessionals , and community members .

the tulane journal of international affairs is a newly formed undergraduate research journal at tulane university . publishing once a year , the journal promotes outstanding undergraduate work relating to its three sections : international security , international political economy , and human rights .

second line is a peer - edited journal at tulane university committed to the publication of original and intellectual undergraduate scholarship that engages in the various aspects of literary conversation .

the tulane review is a literary and art journal published by the tulane literary society twice a year . submissions are judged by review boards in an anonymous selection process and final choices are made by the editors . for submission information , consult the submissionguidelines here : urltoken

tulane studies in zoology and botany is published by the tulane museum of natural history . and is issued irregularly . manuscripts dealing with all aspects of ecology , evolution , and systematics are encouraged . all manuscripts are reviewed .

the reptile database is a taxonomic database that provides basic information about all living reptile species , such as turtles , snakes , lizards , and crocodiles , as well as tuataras and amphisbaenians , but does not include dinosaurs .

currently there are more than 10 , 000 species and an additional 2 , 700 subspecies . this is making reptiles the largest vertebrate group after fish ( ~ 25 , 000 species ) and birds ( ~ 10 , 000 species ) , and significantly larger than mammals ( ~ 5 , 000 species ) or amphibians ( ~ 6 , 000 species ) .

the reptile database provides taxonomic information for the catalogue of life and the encyclopedia of life . our taxonomic information has also been used by genbank and many other resources and is the only comprehensive reptile database on the web .

the reptile database can be used to find all species within a certain geographic area ( e . g . all snakes of egypt ) . its collection of more than 2 , 500 images allow users to identify a species or at least get an idea how the species or genus may look like . more than 30 , 000 references provide a guide to further information .

this database is maintained by peter uetz ( database content ) and jakob hallermann , zoological museum hamburg ( new species and updates ) .

although there are many types of reproduction in frogs , the boreal chorus frog is rather typical in that it reproduces via external fertilization through amplexus . mating usually occurs during the spring and is initiated by the males calling for females . the boreal chorus frog has a characteristic call , " reeeek " ( wikipedia ) . the boreal chorus frogs lay their eggs in clusters that range from 20 - 100 eggs .

conservation concerns : there is no evidence for decline in ontario populations of the western chorus frog , however , it has declined throughout the st . lawrence valley in quebec as a result of habitat loss . a population introduced to newfoundland is apparently now extirpated .

western chorus frogs thrive on a diet made up of small arthropods such as sowbugs , and also earth∼worms , beetles , grubs , ants , crickets , and even spiders .

western chorus frogs are found throughout minnesota . they like open habitats such as wetlands and fields near trees , but they can also live in cities . these frogs breed in shallow water such as temporary wetlands and ditches . they overwinter under rocks and logs near their breeding ponds .

give the frog a glass or plastic bowl of water that is large enough for him to soak his entire body in , but not so deep that he can ' t easily climb out of . remember , they are terrestrial , so too deep and the frog could actually drown !

reproduction : western chorus frogs breed very early in the spring and may begin as early as march although most calling is in april . they may chorus during the day as well as at night . a series of small egg masses are laid and attached to vegetation . eggs hatch within a few weeks and tadpoles finish transforming by early summer . they are usually mature in one year and rarely live beyond three .

these frogs will eat insects from rolly poly’s to anything small enough to fit in there mouth . no ants . they do prefer live food . dead food can get rotten and will not attract the frog .

as with other amphibians , midland chorus frogs can act as a critical indicator of environmental health . their permeable skin makes them susceptible to many contaminants , external stimuli and toxins that they are exposed to in both aquatic and terrestrial portions of their life cycle . since their larval and adult forms occupy very different habitats , a decline in frog numbers or population health could signify problems in either environment or both .

the data they found suggests that the chorus frogs store up liver glycogen to prepare for hibernation and body size and liver glycogen levels must reach a threshold for the animal to survive winter / freezing conditions .

midland chorus frogs serve as a food source for their predators and help keep prey populations under control . both adult and larval forms ( tadpoles ) have different but important ecological roles . in both environments these frogs and their larvae serve as predator and prey and do not compete with their parents or offspring . water - breeding amphibians such as midland chorus frogs can channel nutrients from the aquatic to the terrestrial environment .

this frog is most abundant in prairies but also occurs on agricultural lands , in large river floodplains , and on the grassy edges of marshes . after breeding season , they take shelter in animals burrows ; under boards , logs , or rocks ; in clumps of grass ; or in loose soil . breeding sites are usually in flooded fields , ditches , woodland ponds , marshes , and river sloughs as well as farm ponds . this is often the first frog to become active in the spring .

behavior : migrations of adults from overwintering sites to breeding locations , and of metamorphs from breeding sites to nearby uplands have been documented , but not in arizona . the location and habitats of this frog outside of the breeding season are unknown in arizona .

description : the green frog is a large , true frog with large , distinct tympanum and prominent dorsolateral ridges . it may be green , bronze or brown , or a combination but is typically green on the upper lip . the belly is white with darker lines or spots . there may be some irregular spotting on the back . it is distinguished from other frogs in that the dorsolateral ridges run only partway down the back and do not reach the groin . the hind legs have dark bars . males have a bright yellow throat . maximum adult size is 10 cm .

the call of midland chorus frogs is a short , rising , squeaky trill which sounds like “cree - ee - ee - ee - eek . " it can be roughly imitated by strumming the teeth of a small , stiff pocket comb from middle to end with a thumbnail ( harding and holman , 1992 ) . their calls are used mainly to attract females to breeding sites during their breeding season . they create a chorus of their calls during their breeding congresses . they also use visual and auditory cues for migration and breeding and rely on their keen vision for capturing prey .

keep the temperature of the vivarium comfortable , but not too hot . this frog naturally comes from a temperate climate , hibernating in winter digging into moist soil alongside the banks of water - ways . this makes him used to mild weather . usually , the temperature of your home will also be right for this species .

like most small frogs , the diet of midland chorus frogs includes a variety of small invertebrates , such as spiders , ants , flies , and moths . younger , smaller frogs will feed on smaller prey : mites , midges and springtails . tadpoles are herbivorous feeding mostly on algae ( harding and holman , 1992 ) .

habitat : this species is typically found on the ground or in low shrubs or grass at or near breeding ponds , which include often shallow and temporary ponds , cattle tanks , lake margins , wet meadows , and roadside ditches . sites without fish are preferred for breeding . the species sometimes breeds in permanent water . this frog is rarely encountered outside of the breeding season .

make sure to use a secure , vented lid on the top of the vivarium . if you live in a temperate zone yourself , and use heating in winter , make sure to partially cover up to 1 / 2 of the lid in winters to help hold in humidity . your frog will not hibernate in winters ( it will be too warm in the house to trigger this ) and will need humidity that the heating unit in your house may ' sap ' out of his home without the cover . a measured - cut sheet of acrylic or glass will do . if humidity in the room the frog is in goes below 40 percent , use a humidifier filled with only water in the room to raise it up to a level between 45 and 50 percent .

typical predators on adult midland chorus frogs would include birds ( herons , grackles , etc . ) , small mammals ( raccoons , mink , skunks ) , snakes , and larger frogs . young metamorphs and tadpoles are eaten by salamander larvae , crayfish , fish ( if present ) , turtles , and aquatic insects such as water scorpions , diving beetles , and dragonfly larvae .

the frog was listed as threatened under canada’s species at risk act in 2010 , by which time over 90 per cent of the species’ historical range in the montérégie region had already been lost to development . the metapopulation in la prairie — a metapopulation is a local population of a species that is linked to other local populations through the movement of individuals — has lost 60 per cent of its habitat between 1992 and 2013 .

adults are sexually dimorphic , with females lacking a vocal sac for calling and being generally larger ( 3 - 5 cm ) than males ( 2 . 5 - 4 cm ) in snout to vent length ( svl ) . tadpoles are 1 - 5 cm from snout to tail tip . chorus frogs metamorphose at about 1 . 5 - 2 . 5 cm svl , with no sexually distinguishing characteristics until 1 to 2 years of age ( amburgey ,

once a month carefully locate the frog ( s ) inside the tank , then gently place a glass container over them . this will allow you to thoroughly clean the entire tank without having to remove them . spray quat antifungal throughout now . remove any dying moss or other plants and replace . if you have used a sponge filter , then instead of daily water changes , you can change 1 / 2 the water every few days , scrubbing the pool with clean brush to remove scum . replace water with treated water only .

breeding begins in late february or early march and peaks in april . males chorus in temporary bodies of water and in fishless farm ponds . the male fertilizes the eggs as the female lays and attaches them to submerged grasses just below the surface , in clusters of 5–300 . these hatch within a week , depending on water temperature . metamorphosis occurs in 6–8 weeks . this species overwinters in the ground and does not burrow very deep . a natural antifreeze in their blood keeps them from freezing .

midland chorus frogs breed , sometimes in small to large congresses , in shallow pools and temporary waters in or adjacent to marshes , swamps , and swales . during axillary amplexus , males externally fertilize the eggs as they are laid by the female in a pattern typical of most hylids ( halliday and adler , 2002 ) . over most of the range , amplexus and egg laying takes place from late march to early april , but breeding occasionally extends into may in the north ( harding and holman , 1992 ) .

male chorus frogs are between 0 . 8 inches long , and females are anywehere between 1 . 2 and 1 . 5 inches from snout to vent . the skin on the dorsum is slightly tubercular , and on the venter it is granular , which is typical of many frogs . the snout is acutely rounded . the toes are only about one - third webbed . the dorsusm is a grayish tan , with brown mid - dorsal and dorsolateral stripes or rows of spots . there is a broad dark brown to black colored stripe from the snout through the eye and the ear ( tympanum ) to the groin . the venter is white .

justification : listed as least concern in view of its wide distribution , tolerance of some forms of habitat alteration and presumed large population size , despite potential population declines .

these frogs are tolerant of some forms of habitat alteration ( e . g . clearing of forest ) , but loss of wetlands , and unknown factors ( possibly including agricultural chemicals , drought , and chytrid fungus ) have caused declines in some areas ( gibbs

conservation actions many occurrences are in protected areas . research needed in view of reported declines and taxonomic changes affecting the scope of the species , determination of current taxonomic and population status is appropriate .

breeding season egg laying occurs mostly in april , but can extend into may .

typical for frogs that lay a large number of eggs , most of the offspring will die before reaching adulthood , though the exact numbers are unknown . however , once these frogs reach maturity , they may live for 2 to 5 years .

this species is considered to be mostly stable . although listed as " vulnerable " in quebec ( green et al . , 2013 ) , it has no special status in the united states . it is common in much of its large range . the iucn indicates there has been a decline but the degree is uncertain . like other frogs , they are very susceptible to agricultural chemicals and to baitfish and gamefish introduction into breeding wetlands . their breeding habitat is also vulnerable to destruction due to urban and suburban development ( green et al . , 2013 ) .
