Hyloidea 
 The superfamily Hyloidea started when the ancestor of all its frogs and toads evolved differently from the other animals in the suborder Neobatrachia.
Hyloidea 
 Scientists have found some fossils from this time but not enough to tell how this event affected these animals.
Hyloidea 
 After this extinction event, more forests grew, so the frogs may have changed so they could climb and live in trees.
Hyloidea 
 Hyloidea is the largest superfamily of anurans due to scientists placing frogs into this family when the relationships to others are unknown.
Hyloidea 
 Most anurans in the superfamily have a lateral‐bender which is a type of pelvis morphology found in walking, hopping and burrowing frogs.
Hyloidea 
 Some species that appear later in the taxon have a sagittal‐hinge pelvis found in aquatic frogs as well as walking, hopping and burrowing frogs  and some have a fore–aft slider pelvis found in terrestrial frogs.
Hyloidea 
 Hyloidea anurans lack ribs, have complex mouthparts, and their pectoral girdle can be arciferal or firmisternal.
Hyloidea 
 The average snout-vent length (SVL) of Hyloidea species vary widely, from 10 mm in one species of Diasporus to 320 mm in female Calyptocephalella gayi.
Hyloidea 
 Anuran animals, frogs and toads, look alike from the outside, so scientists cannot always tell them apart by looking at their morphological characteristics.
Hyloidea 
 Scientists used them with a nuclear marker toolkit to look at the relationships inside the superfamily Hyloidea on a molecular level.
Hyloidea 
 As they tested 55 relationships of the Hyloidea and was found that 53 out of the 55 previously established nodes on the phylogenetic tree were supported by this DNA testing.
Hyloidea 
 Scientists say the first Hyloidea animals evolved on the Gondwanan supercontinent in what is now southern South America, then spread throughout the world.
Hyloidea 
 The animal was from the hyloid family Calyptocephalellidae, and the fossil was found on Seymour Island in the Antarctic Peninsula.
Hyloidea 
 The distribution of Hyloidea species is highly correlated with climate, with most species found in areas with higher annual mean temperatures.
Hyloidea 
 As of February 2021, the IUCN Red List named 361 of the species in Hyloidea as critically endangered (11.4%), 475 as endangered (15%), and 310 as vulnerable (9.8%).
Hyloidea 
 One of the most important reasons Hyloidea species are dying is because human beings build farms and other things in the places where they live.
