The German article has been extended in the last time. Perhaps it's worth while visiting it again! Remark: The first author was Linnaeus, 1758, not Laurenti. -- Fice, June 5, 2005

[edit] Merger

  • Do it !, but take Hyla arborea onto a separate page as European Tree Frog--GRM 21:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong oppose The European Tree Frog is a species group which contains four species, Hyla is a large genus containing over 30 species, and the move would be inappropriate. Especially considering there are Hyla in the Americas, Africa and Asia. --liquidGhoul 22:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • OK, OK! Sorry, showing a little ignorance there... :-) Still prefer H. arborea to have its own page...--GRM 22:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • It did originally, but there was a change in taxonomy, and the species was split. The Hyla arborea you know (if you are from Europe) could now be one of the other species! If you want to create a seperate article, you are welcome to, but there isn't a lot of information available which specificly applies to Hyla arborea. It is unknown whether the old research on Hyla arborea was actually on a different species. If you include it all under a species complex (as is done here), all the old research still applies. Thanks. --liquidGhoul 23:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Just to give you some examples, if you want to go ahead with it. Corroboree frog is a species complex (split quite a while ago) which has remained a single article. Litoria lesueurii was split in 2004, and has seperate articles (Litoria wilcoxi and Litoria junguy when someone creates it). --liquidGhoul 23:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, I am from and in Europe. Can you popint me to a source for the recent split? Many thanks--GRM 16:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Hehe, sorry, I got that a little wrong, must have been thinking of a different species. Seems someone has decided that this article is for all the tree frogs which are on mainland Europe. I agree that this should be its own article, and so should the rest of the species listed. It was originally a sole article for Hyla arborea but someone got confused, it should be moved to European Tree Frog, and concentrate on Hyla arborea. Thanks for pointing this out. --liquidGhoul 00:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I made some basic changes to bring it closer to what it should be about, although, it is still far from perfect. E_rulez 18:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
