Talk:Litoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not nonsense, but no content. The genus Litoria is a genus of tree frogs, L. caerulea is indeed known as "White's Tree Frog". I'd advocate adding Litoria to a "clear up redlinks" project. Tonywalton 13:08, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please help if you have the time!

I am going to have an entire list of the species on here. The up to date version of all species of Litoria is found here (at the bottom of the page) [1]. If anyone has the time, could you please add some (in alphabetic order). It doesn't matter if you only put the binomial name in, just whatever will save me time. If you would like to add the common name, then click on the species on the site I mentioned, it is under "English names". Thankyou. --liquidGhoul 08:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The french wiki has completed all frog species, genera, subfamilies etc. Se [2] where you can copy all the latin names. Isfisk 10:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Please be aware that the describer's names are ONLY set in parentheses if the species was placed in a different genus in the description than where it is placed now! Maybe something was synonymized into it, but it seems odd. Have added "expert attention" tag. Dysmorodrepanis 03:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

They are all in parentheses because of style, not convention. I am starting to think it would be a better idea to change it back. Although, I think it would be good to leave such conventions to Wikispecies, and keep the encyclopaedia as simple as possible. Thoughts? Thanks. --liquidGhoul 06:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Australasian Tree Frogs" is the right name?

This page used to be at Litoria, is "Australasian Tree Frogs" really the right name for it? It only gets 9 google hits. [3] Kappa 13:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this may be a case where the scientific name is used more commonly than the common name. I hadn't realised that it was so unpopular (only 9 google hits) when I moved it. I got it from here, which is a very reputable resource. It is just that it is never actually used. I actually would rather it the old way now. --liquidGhoul 14:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I changed it back to Litoria, thanks for bringing it up, I don't know what I was thinking. --liquidGhoul 10:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References to "Copland"

Does anyone know anything about the Australian herpetologist "Stephen J Copland" who discovered some of these tree frogs? Tiki2099 14:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
