					<content type="html" xml:base="https://www.savedarwinsfrogs.org/blog/?p=659"><![CDATA[<h4 id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-small" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="Translation"><span lang="es" tabindex="0">Why we do what we do…the temperate rainforests of Chile are some of the rarest forests on Earth – not much remains of these habitats anywhere in the world. Temperate rainforests receive more than 100 inches (254 centimeters) of rainfall each year, qualifying as rainforests – but they do not exist at tropical latitudes. A swath of the coastal mountain range in Chile and the Andean foothills in Chile and adjacent Argentina were once covered with these forests. Today, only forest fragments exist. These forests have been isolated for a very long time. The Atacama Desert to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Andes Mountains to the east have served as barriers such that most of the fauna and flora in this region is endemic (found no place else on Earth). So it’s time to meet the inhabitants of this special place. I’ll start with this species – the Darwin’s Frogs (Rhinoderma darwinii). These unique amphibians were &#8220;discovered&#8221; by Charles Darwin on his famous Beagle voyage &#8211; folks had known of them prior but this was the first biologist that brought them into focus with regard to western science. Both species of Darwin’s Frogs employ a unique reproductive behavior. Males brood their developing tadpoles inside of their vocal sacs. Female Darwins Frogs deposit eggs on the damp forest floor of the temperate rainforests of Chile and Argentina after approaching a calling male. The males fertilizes the eggs and remain nearby. Just after the eggs hatch, the male takes the tadpoles into his mouth and manipulates them through a hole below his tongue and into his vocal sac. They will remain there and pass all the way through their development into small frogs (in Rhinoderma darwinii). When the babies are ready to live on their own, the male literally “coughs” up fully developed miniatures of the adults. With Chile’s Darwins Frog (Rhinoderma rufum) males “cough up” late stage tadpoles into pools of water. These frogs are endangered. Chile’s Darwins Frog has not been observed in over 30 years. The Darwins Frog (Rhinoderma darwinii) has suffered a range decline owing to emergent infectious disease and habitat loss. These individuals were photographed in Southern Chile (except for the captive bred baby). This is one of the focal species for the collaboration between San Antonio Zoo, the Roger Williams Park Zoo, and the Austral University in Valdivia, Chile.</span></h4>

Por qué hacemos lo que hacemos &#8230; las selvas templadas de Chile son algunos de los bosques más raros de la Tierra, no quedan muchos restos de estos hábitats en ningún lugar del mundo. Las selvas tropicales templadas reciben más de 100 pulgadas (254 centímetros) de lluvia cada año, calificándose como selvas tropicales, pero no existen en las latitudes tropicales. Una franja de la cordillera costera en Chile y las estribaciones andinas en Chile y Argentina adyacente alguna vez se cubrieron con estos bosques. Hoy en día, solo existen fragmentos de bosque. Estos bosques han estado aislados durante mucho tiempo. El Desierto de Atacama al norte, el Océano Pacífico al oeste y la Cordillera de los Andes al este han servido como barreras para que la mayor parte de la fauna y la flora en esta región sean endémicas (no se encuentra en ningún otro lugar en la Tierra). Así que es hora de conocer a los habitantes de este lugar especial. Comenzaré con esta especie: las ranas de Darwin (Rhinoderma darwinii). Charles Darwin &#8220;descubrió&#8221; estos anfibios únicos en su famoso viaje al Beagle: la gente los había conocido antes, pero este fue el primer biólogo que los enfocó con respecto a la ciencia occidental. Ambas especies de ranas de Darwin emplean un comportamiento reproductivo único. Los machos empollan sus renacuajos en desarrollo dentro de sus sacos vocales. Las ranas darwins hembra depositan sus huevos en el suelo húmedo de las selvas templadas de Chile y Argentina después de acercarse a un macho llamado. Los machos fertilizan los huevos y permanecen cerca. Justo después de que los huevos eclosionan, el macho se lleva los renacuajos a la boca y los manipula a través de un agujero debajo de su lengua y en su saco vocal. Permanecerán allí y pasarán todo el camino de su desarrollo en pequeñas ranas (en Rhinoderma darwinii). Cuando los bebés están listos para vivir solos, el macho literalmente &#8220;tose&#8221; miniaturas completamente desarrolladas de los adultos. Con los machos de la rana Darwins (Rhinoderma rufum) de Chile se &#8220;tosen&#8221; los renacuajos de la etapa final en charcos de agua. Estas ranas están en peligro de extinción. La rana Darwins de Chile no se ha observado en más de 30 años. La rana de Darwins (Rhinoderma darwinii) ha sufrido una disminución en el rango debido a enfermedades infecciosas emergentes y pérdida de hábitat. Estas personas fueron fotografiadas en el sur de Chile (a excepción del bebé criado en cautividad). Esta es una de las especies principales para la colaboración entre el Zoológico de San Antonio, el Zoológico Roger Williams y la Universidad Austral en Valdivia, Chile.</span></h4>

So it’s time to meet the inhabitants of this special place. The Chile Mountain False Toad (Telmatobufo venustus) is a critically endangered species with only one healthy population remaining; however, the streams that run through the remaining site are filled with non-native trout that eat the tadpoles of the species. The future is grim for this amphibian. Why are they so cool? They are ancient! The &#8220;False Toads&#8221; aren&#8217;t closely related to any other frogs in Chile &#8211; or, for that matter, any other frogs on the South American continent. The closest relatives that these frogs have are Australian frogs. That&#8217;s right, these frogs arose as a group while Gondwana was still a &#8220;supercontinent.&#8221; As Gondwana broke up, the frogs broke into two groups: one in contemporary Chile, the rest in what is now Australia. More evidence for plate tectonics.</h4>

Los parientes más cercanos que tienen estas ranas son las ranas australianas. Así es, estas ranas surgieron como grupo mientras Gondwana todavía era un &#8220;supercontinente&#8221;. Cuando Gondwana se separó, las ranas se dividieron en dos grupos: uno en el Chile contemporáneo y el resto en lo que hoy es Australia. Más evidencia de la tectónica de placas.</span></h4>
