This is my not-very-long To Do List. It contains the things I have or wish to do.
-
- The causal connection between these species and the fact that they are found in Australia. Fossil evidence?
- Impact of human invasion of Oz?
There seem to be a small number of areas where there are no frogs; again, why? What patterns can we see in the distribution of various taxa?
Is the Cane Toad the only introduced species?
- What about islands?
- What about the relationship to other special fauna of Oz (snakes, goannas, herons etc.)?
- Are there predominantly aquatic frogs? If not, is this to do with the presence of crocodiles?
The relationship between the Myobatrachids from Australia and the Sooglosids from the Seychelle Islands.
The relationships between the Austrlaian Hylids and Microhylids and the rest of the Hylids and Microhylids.
Why New Zealand has primitive frogs and Australia doesn't.
The very close connection to New Guinea, and the geological causes for this.
- Why there are no salamanders or caecillians in Australia
