Dave, i'm sure it's the same for the animal kingdom......... taxonomy is an evolving science with the ever increasing knowledge of genetics ie DNA and how it can be viewed these changes are happening in the animal kingdom. I can't quote you on genus names but absolutley can with species,look up Ranitomeya serensis....lamasi. They are Dart frogs Dave...poison arrow frogs if you like.,we actually keep so have a little knowledge.
Isn't it the saddest thing that these frogs on the road to speciation are being lost in the wild but the IUCN red list does not recognise the individual morphs within a species. R serensis,highland morph is a yellow frog with black stripes and blues mottled legs. It occurs as an isolated population. Other forms of this species occur elsewhere have maybe a green or orange or even red base body colour and different leg colouration,yet the highlands are now thought extinct. in the wild.yet serensi is ok. according to the red list................................. nope,.not so much
A tiny bit back for ya Dave cheers for the kindness
