About: Amphibians of Australia

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Amphibians of Australia are limited to members of the order Anura, commonly known as frogs. All Australian frogs are in the suborder Neobatrachia, also known as the modern frogs, which make up the largest proportion of extant frog species. About 230 of the 5,280 species of frog are native to Australia with 93% of them endemic. Compared with other continents, species diversity is low, and may be related to the climate of most of the Australian continent. There are two known invasive amphibians, the cane toad and the smooth newt.

  • Amphibians of Australia are limited to members of the order Anura, commonly known as frogs. All Australian frogs are in the suborder Neobatrachia, also known as the modern frogs, which make up the largest proportion of extant frog species. About 230 of the 5,280 species of frog are native to Australia with 93% of them endemic. Compared with other continents, species diversity is low, and may be related to the climate of most of the Australian continent. There are two known invasive amphibians, the cane toad and the smooth newt. (en)
  • Les espèces d'amphibiens originaires d'Australie sont toutes membres du sous-ordre des Neobatrachia qui forme le plus grand des sous-ordres des Anoures. Environ 230 espèces sur les 5 280 espèces du sous-ordre vivent en Australie et 93 % d'entre elles sont endémiques. Comparée à celle d'autres continents, la diversité est faible. Elle est peut-être liée au climat d'un pays constitué pour sa plus grande part de zones semi-arides. À signaler un amphibien importé volontairement et devenu invasif, le crapaud buffle, Rhinella marina. (fr)
