科学家首次将Littlejohn的青蛙囚禁起来,协助新南威尔士的养护工作。 Scientists bred Littlejohn’s tree frogs in captivity for the first time, aiding conservation efforts in New South Wales.

纽卡斯尔大学的科学家们首次成功地培育了Littlejohn的树木青蛙,这是在拯救新南威尔士偏远小种群中发现的濒危物种方面迈出的一大步。 Scientists at the University of Newcastle have successfully bred Littlejohn’s tree frogs in captivity for the first time, a major step in saving the endangered species found in small, isolated populations in New South Wales. 自2018年以来,由Kaya Klop-Toker博士、Alex Cullen博士和Rose Upton博士率领的团队将实验室育种与生境恢复结合起来,创造了40多个新池塘,以重新连接分散的人口。 Since 2018, a team led by Dr. Kaya Klop-Toker, Dr. Alex Cullen, and Dr. Rose Upton has combined lab breeding with habitat restoration, creating over 40 new ponds to reconnect fragmented populations. 这项努力产生了成百上千个鸡蛋,许多蛋正在发展成健康的塔极,并包括一项启动方案和先进的遗传技术,以增进多样性。 The effort produced hundreds of eggs, with many developing into healthy tadpoles, and includes a head-starting program and advanced genetic techniques to boost diversity. 捕猎青蛙正被放入野外 并被送往保护区 Captive frogs are being released into the wild and sent to conservation facilities. 这项工作旨在应对生境丧失、气候变化和拟议基础设施项目的威胁。 The work aims to counter threats from habitat loss, climate change, and proposed infrastructure projects.
