Frog populations are disappearing for many reasons. Obvious reasons include pollution in waterways, surface water being drained away, land clearing, and urbanisation. Some less obvious reasons that are affecting frog populations far from human interference may include climate change, exposure to increased UV-B radiation, and emerging diseases.

We like frogs. A lot. We just can't help but love the Red-eyed tree frog, which is so colourful and small. We've chosen him as the Alpha21 mascot because he sticks to things, is stealthy, shows off some gorgeous colours and sometimes eats the competition. Our frog is the Red-eyed tree frog: Found in the tropical rainforests of Central America, the Red Eyed Tree Frog is arboreal and excels at jumping. This species of frog moves in a very stealthy yet deliberate manner. See similar questions...

Frogs and toads make a variety of sounds, depending on the situation. The most common are "advertisement" calls, and "alarm" calls. Frogs and toads advertise their presence either to ward off challengers to their territories, or to attract mates. Alarm calls serve to startle predators. See similar questions...

The file appender that comes with Log4perl, the Log::Log4perl::Appender::File manpage, will open a specified log file at initialization time and will keep writing to it via a file handle. In case the associated file goes way, messages written by a long-running process will still be written to the file handle. In case the file has been moved to a different location on the same file system, the writer will keep writing to it under the new filename. See similar questions...

Here's a great new feature that we think you'll love. Go one year without making a claim on a policy, and your deductible on any home coverage will be reduced by 20%. Your deductible will keep reducing on that policy by 20% every year, as long as you don't make a claim. After five years in a row without a claim on that policy, your deductible completely disappears! (Of course, if you make a claim, your deductible goes back to its original amount.)

Until the scientists know the answer there is not a lot that can be done except to continue studying the issue. However, by getting people interested in the issue and by having students involved in writing about it, people will become aware of the issue and about the problems facing frogs and our environment.

Not likely. Opossums are rather lazy and will always seek out readily available food whenever possible. It is not generally industrious enough to catch fish or try to attack an animal that might fight back. The disappearance of fish or chickens is more likely due to a racoon, fox, or badger. If you see an opossum eating your fish, most likely it came across the remains that another creature left behind on the bank. See similar questions...

Sometimes, depending on our fabric, the chalk wants to disappear before we're ready to have it gone. Some fabrics require nothing be done and the chalk grips the fibers and adheres well. Other fabric are not so cooperative. To solve this problem there is an easy solution - ordinary hair spray. After you transfer your stencil just spray a coat of hair spray over it from about 8 inches away. Spray enough to wet it but not too much to where the moisture soaks the lines away.

Even after the first spraying, you will notice remarkably fewer annoying insects within the perimeter of your yard. After a week or two the results will be even more dramatic. Remember, however, nothing is 100% effective. See similar questions...

Adult frogs and toads are always predatory, preying on insects mostly but also smaller frogs and fish. Tadpoles are mostly vegetarian, grazing on algae that grow in leaf or rock surfaces under the water. Sometimes, very large tadpoles, such as bullfrog tadpoles, become meat-eaters and sometimes even eat other frogs! Tadpoles can be a significant food item for fish, mammals, and even other adult frogs. See similar questions...
