STUDY OF ECOLOGY OF ANURANS (TOAD/FROG) IN RAJASTHAN.

The diversity of reproductive and life-history tactics exhibited by amphibians is astounding, encompassing a wide range of nest-building techniques and behaviors. Nesting behavior in this cladebroadly defined as a site chosen or constructed for eggs and young is closely tied to the amphibious lifestyle of this group, even though anuran amphibians (frogs and toads) are not recognized for having nests. Anurans include frogs and toads. Out of the three amphibian species that are now recognized, anurans are the most varied and widely distributed. All around the world, anurans are present. Cities and gardens are common places to see frogs. Anuran diversity is highest in tropical climates; however, it is uncommon to find anuran species in polar regions, some marine islands, and very xeric deserts. Rajasthan state is the largest state in the nation, covering an area of 3.42 lakh square kilometers. It is divided into seven administrative divisions, each with 33 districts. Frogs and toads are abundant species in Rajasthan, which is approximately 1,32,077 square miles. The western three-fifths of Rajasthan comprise the immense Indian Desert. Until recently, nothing was known about the fauna in Rajasthan's Abu Hills. There have been reports of physiological and climatic changes in the desert recently. Therefore, it is now essential to examine it from every angle. Over the past few years, different Zoological assessment of India parties have conducted a comprehensive assessment of the area.
