If researchers can identify individuals carrying the genetic mutations driving this adaptation, they may be able to help other struggling frog populations grow. “We’re at a critical point ...

Scientists in Western Australia have found a tree frog which is bright blue, rather than the usual green, due to a rare genetic mutation. The blue magnificent tree frog was spotted in the Charnley ...

A rare blue frog found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia has stunned researchers, who say the unusual colouring is probably due to a genetic mutation causing it to lose certain skin ...

Scientists have identified several animal mutations in the area, including a surprising species of frog that seems immune to the toxicity around them. This has left researchers intrigued by what ...

Researchers in Australia spotted a magnificent tree frog with blue skin — the result of a rare genetic mutation called axanthism, which suppresses yellow pigments that usually tint the frogs green.

Scientists at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia found an odd-colored frog due to a rare mutation. A photo shows the “once-in-a-lifetime” sight. Photo from J. Barker and the Australian Wildlife ...

Ideally, frogs will evolve mutations to resist the disease. That's where piecemeal solutions like frog saunas come in: They keep animals alive long enough to adapt to the pathogen—a "kind of a ...

That usually combines to form green, so most frogs are green," he said. "And this is a rare mutation called axanthism, when the yellow pigments are inhibited and it just leaves the blue to come ...

Scientists at the AWC believe this is the first recorded instance of a blue colour mutation in this frog. All living things - from humans, to animals, to plant life - have genes, which are made up ...
