In the lab, the laser vibrometer showed that the female green tree frog’s lungs only resonated in response to sounds at frequencies between 1400 to 2200 hertz.

Our measurements showed the sound component from the lung reduces eardrum motion – and hence sensitivity – in the frequency range where the lungs are most sensitive. In the green tree frog and ...

The largest common frog found in our area — with the exception of the bullfrog, which I don't consider common — the green frog calls with a song that sounds like the strumming of a banjo ...

Scientists in Western Australia have found a tree frog which is bright blue, rather than the usual green, due to a rare genetic mutation.

More than 7,000 species of frogs hop, climb and perch around our world—which means more than 7,000 unique frog calls permeate our air. “The diversity of frog sounds is hard to overstate,” says Mark ...

In this Moment in the Wild, Purdue wildlife technician Zach Truelock introduces you to the green tree frog. Learn about where this species lives, its physical characteristics, its call, and its ...
