Researchers search forest Paua New Guinea have discovered a new species of frogs that is said to be the smallest frog in the world. According to the disclosure of the party Paedophrine amauensis measures only 0:27 inches long and is considered the smallest vertebrates in the world.
At least 29 species of frogs, in other words, in the equatorial regions of the world lives in your litter or moss, which is humid all year round and eat even tinier invertebrates, creating a previously unknown “ecological guild” of similar animals with similar habits, he said.
The significance of the discoveries of physics evaluation with small body size. Pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and all bodily functions are functions of size and maintenance of the pressures that are at least equal to atmospheric pressure, and animals (amphibians in this case) can produce enough pressure to breathe.
In August 2009, Austin, and student Erik Rittmeier collecting and recording the mating calls of frogs at night in the rain forest near the village Amau in eastern Papua New Guinea, to hear high-pitched chorus “tinks”.
“This is a frog call that does not sound like a frog at all. Sounds like an insect,” said said.Austin estimated to have found 20 previously unknown species in New Guinea, which has such a diversity hot spots that scientists have described the figure of only about six tenths all kinds that there žive.Obično small size indicates an extremely high heart rate, but this normality can be mitigated by the nature of amphibians.
