DEDICATION

This research material titled “Studies on Diversity of Frogs and Toads Species” is dedicated to God for his enabling grace, and to all computer enthusiasts who contributed to make life a pleasant experience during my research documentation.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I extend my sincere gratitude to all those who contributed to the completion of this project. Special thanks to my Supervisor (Name of your Supervisor), the Head of Department (Name of your HOD), the Lecturers in the department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, Book Authors and Profound Scholars of existing or related project material on “Studies on Diversity of Frogs and Toads Species” for their invaluable guidance, support, and expertise throughout the journey.

I am also grateful to your study area (mention any funding organizations, if applicable) for their financial assistance. This research would not have been possible without the encouragement and assistance of some stakeholders (mention any mentors, teachers, or colleagues). Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the understanding and patience of my family and friends during this endeavor. Your unwavering support has been a constant source of motivation. Thank you all for being part of this meaningful endeavor.

ABSTRACT

The study is aimed at examining the Diversity of Frogs and Toads Species. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to identify the number of individual species frogs and toads found in the study area, examine the species of toads found on along the study area, identify the form and Function of Frogs and Toads, and examine the Features and Classification of Frog Species. Frog and toad belonging to the order Anura, which, because of their wide distribution, are known by most people around the world. The name frog is commonly applied to those forms with long legs and smooth mucus-covered skins, while toad is used for a variety of robust short-legged forms, especially those with rough skins. The problem of fertilization of eggs in rapidly flowing water has been overcome by various modifications. Some stream-breeding hylids have long cloacal tubes so that the semen can be directed onto the eggs as they emerge. Some other hylids have huge testes, which apparently produce vast quantities of sperm, helping to ensure fertilization. After a five years period, carrying out monitoring activities could provide updated information on the diversity and distribution of anuran species in the area, and also denote possible effects of human activities upon the anuran community. This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Frog and toad, (order Anura), either also called anuran or salientian, amphibians belonging to the order Anura, which, because of their wide distribution, are known by most people around the world. The name frog is commonly applied to those forms with long legs and smooth mucus-covered skins, while toad is used for a variety of robust short-legged forms, especially those with rough skins. The name toad is applied so unevenly that one member of a family may be called a toad and a closely related member a frog. The familiar members of the family Bufonidae may be distinguished as “true toads.” In this article, frog is applied generally to all members of order Anura and toad to those for which it has traditionally been used. There are roughly 7,300 species of living frogs and toads (Britannica, 2021).

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
