Pseudacris regilla: Pacific Tree Frog

Pacific Tree Frogs are 2-5 cm. They are usually green, grey, or reddish-brown with small dark splotches along sides. They have a dark mask across the eyes from nose to shoulders and a Y-shaped mark between eyes They are found throughout Washington and can be found far from water in woodlands, forests, and meadows. They usually live on the ground (despite the name) and hides in underground burrows. In breeding season will converge in water habitats. Breeding season is November to July in permanent or non-permanent water sources. Males become territorial when breeding and will fight over prime spots in breeding waters. Eggs are attached to sticks or other underwater debris in the shallow low flow areas of ponds or lakes. Tadpoles stay in groups, possibly as a means to avoid predators, and take up to 3 months to complete metamorphosis. They can change skin color quickly from light to dark or vice versa to blend with the environment. They have glands in the skin that secrete a waxy substance that protects their skin from drying out. They are diurnal, being active day and night.
Longdom Publishing SL to accomplish its vision to make scientific information & health care open access has made a new initiation to enrich the scientific knowledge all around the world. As per the interest of the scientific community from Non-English-speaking territories, we have introduced a new feature in the name of language translation. Language translation helps the scientific community to go through the articles in Chinese, Japanese & other world languages.
A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing, and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing. Manuscripts can be uploaded online at Editorial tracking https://www.longdom.org/submissions/entomology-ornithology-herpetology-current-research.html or as an email attachment to herpetology@oajournal.org.
