🐸Why do #Anurans (frogs & toads) use caves and #subterranean #habitats as shelters, refuges, or complementary habitats?
Researchers used 177 occurrence records for 54 #species to uncover the likely reasons anurans exploit these unique ecological #environments in #Neotropical landscapes 👇

It's #WorldFrogDay 🐸
I snapped this guy among the bryophytes of Beinn Eighe in the Scottish #Highlands.
And shortly after (a while ago now) wrote this article on the differences between #frogs and #toads... 🤯
