message: i am doing a report for my class, and in my report she would like to know if it is useful for anything. are they? --65.54.98.30 21:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on your definition of useful. Many people keep this species as a pet, and pets are useful for decreasing stress. They also hold an important ecological niche in their habitat. I don't know if it is best to ask me, as I think all species are useful. Humans shouldn't decide something like that, because then we start to decide their future, whether we should save them from extinction, based on our assumptions, and that isn't right. --liquidGhoul 23:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What are red eyed tree frogs useful for? 

message: Article says:
the tadpoles hatch and wriggle until they drop off the leaf into a pool of water below,
Who says there will be a pool of water under the leaf?  Do the frogs make sure of this when laying the eggs?

replies: text: Yes, the frogs make sure there is a water source below the leaf they lay onto. Otherwise the tadpoles would all die, and it would be a very bad adaptation to lay the eggs on leaves. --liquidGhoul (talk) 22:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tadpole Question 

message: This article claims that red-eyed tree frogs are "found in caves in the Appalachians." This seems absurd, and since there is no source posted and further research yields no confirmation, I ask that this "fact" either be confirmed or deleted by whoever added it. Thank you!

replies: text: I study red-eyed treefrogs and the comment above is absolutely correct. The IUCN redlist (https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/55290/3028059) has it correctly as one word but unfortunately Amphibian Species of the World is currently listing it as "tree frog" -- maybe this issue is broader than just wikipedia.

thread_title:  Distribution of species 

message: The common name of this species is the "red-eyed treefrog". For the wiki page, this keeps being changed back to "red-eyed tree frog". Because the frog is in the family Hylidae, it is a true "treefrog", and not just a "tree frog". ...and for that matter, the use of "tree frog" on the Hylidae page is even more of an embarrassment.  If anyone could find a concise citation for this it would be helpful.  There are hundreds of research studies using the correct names for hylids (and a handful for A. callidryas in particular), but these would be difficult to cite.

message: Behavior
"During the day, they remain motionless, cover their blue sides with their back legs, tuck their bright feet under their bellies, and shut their red eyes"
To this section, I think it would be useful to add information about the Nictitating membrane that covers their eyes while they sleep.
Red Eyed Tree Frog Nictitating Membrane
New section proposal: During the day, they remain motionless, cover their blue sides with their back legs, tuck their bright feet under their bellies, and shut their red eyes. They do not have a true eyelid, but rather a Nictitating membrane that allows light to enter the eye so that they will awaken when predators are approaching. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0262407914602311?via%3Dihub
Reproduction
"The eggs develop into tadpoles, which hatch after six to seven days and fall into the water below."
My addition: Red eyed tree frog embryos use natural day and night light cycles as a signal for when to hatch, and tend to hatch just after nightfall. https://peerj.com/articles/6018/
"Red-eyed treefrog eggs [may] hatch early (exhibiting phenotypic plasticity) when a change in the environment signals a danger to their survival"

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Behavioral Ecology 2022

message: I'm working on this page for a class (Behavioral Ecology, Washington University in St. Louis) and I made several edits to the original page. I added an opening paragraph, as well as sections for Phylogeny, Genetic Distribution of Morphs, Life Cycle, and Mating Patterns. I also removed information that was not cited from the original post.  Mashal Naqvi (talk) 19:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Edits

message: As of 2016, the red eyed tree frog is classified as being of least concern because while the population is decreasing, it is classified as least concerned because of its tolerance to habitat modification, wide distribution, and presumably large population.
