Also known as True frog

Ranidae is a family of frogs, sometimes called "true frogs". They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia. The Asian range extends across the East Indies to New Guinea and a single species, the Australian wood frog (Hylarana daemelii), has spread into the far north of Australia.

OverviewAI-generated

Ranidae is a family of amphibians within the order Anura, class Amphibia, and phylum Chordata. The taxon was established by Batsch in 1796 and holds an accepted status in biological classification. It is commonly referred to as egentliga grodor. The family is primarily associated with freshwater habitats.

Records of Ranidae are held by various institutions, including CM, NHMUK, FHSM, ANWC, and CAS. Specimens and data have been documented in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Papua New Guinea, and Uganda. The family is the subject of 27,661 publications in PubMed and has 2,818,392 occurrence records in GBIF. Additionally, iDigBio contains 5,312 records and 36 media items related to the family.

蛙科（Ranidae），台灣譯赤蛙科，是無尾目的一個科，其下的蛙類分布於世界各地，除南极洲外，其他各洲皆有分布。 赤蛙科具有平滑、潮湿的皮肤，肢大而且有力，後足趾間蹼發達。腰部纖細。骨質胸骨。水平瞳孔，日行性動物。赤蛙科体型相差很大，从个头很小的林蛙（Rana sylvatica），世界上最大的蛙巨谐蛙（Conraua goliath）曾為此科，現分入Conrauidae科。 赤蛙科很多种类生活在水中，或靠近水的地方。多数种类将卵产在水中，经历蝌蚪阶段。 目录 1 描述 2 系統分類學 3 分布 4 分類 5 參考文獻 6 外部連結 描述 本科成員擁有強健的後肢，四肢具蹼。幼生期為水生蝌蚪期，成蛙則一般可以水陸兩棲。 系統分類學 本科的分類目前仍有爭議，目前學界傾向將其下的亞科提升為獨立科別。 分布 本科成員分布相當廣泛，除南极洲外，其餘各大洲皆有分布。分布區域包含北美洲、南美洲北部、歐洲、非洲（包含馬達加斯加）、亞洲。澳洲僅有一種澳洲木蛙（英语：Papurana daemeli）（Papurana daemeli）分布於澳大利亞北部。 分類 目前蛙屬共分24屬，本列表參考自amphibiaweb[1]： Abavorana Oliver, Prendini, Kraus & Raxworthy, 2015 Amnirana Dubois, 1992 瀑蛙属 Amolops Cope, 1865 坳蛙属 Aubria Boulenger, 1917 拇棘蛙屬 Babinia Racheboeuf & Branisa, 1985 Chalcorana Dubois, 1992 Clinotarsus（英语：Clinotarsus） Mivart, 1869 腺蛙屬 Glandirana Fei, Ye & Huang, 1990 胡蛙属 Huia Yang, 1991 Humerana（英语：Humerana） Dubois, 1992 Hydrophylax Raf. 水蛙屬 Hylarana Tschudi, 1838 Indosylvirana Meristogenys Yang, 1991 臭蛙屬 Odorrana Fei, Ye & Huang, 1990 Papurana（英语：Papurana） Dubois, 1992 側褶蛙屬 Pelophylax Fitzinger, 1843 Pterorana（英语：Pterorana） Kiyasetuo & Khare, 1986 Pulchrana（英语：Pulchrana） Dubois, 1992 赤蛙屬 Rana Linnaeus, 1758 Sanguirana（英语：Sanguirana） Dubois, 1992 湍蛙属 Staurois Cop

Ranidae is a family of frogs, sometimes called "true frogs". They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia. The Asian range extends across the East Indies to New Guinea and a single species, the Australian wood frog (Hylarana daemelii), has spread into the far north of Australia.

Typically, true frogs are smooth and moist-skinned, with large, powerful legs and extensively webbed feet. The true frogs vary greatly in size, ranging from small—such as the wood frog (Lithobates sylvatica)—to large.
