Korean Brown Frog

• It was described as a species of its own only in 2007, after years of genetic analysis separated it from other East Asian brown frogs with which it had been confused.
• Traditional Korean rice fields work as substitute wetlands for this and other species, and agricultural intensification and the shift to mechanised cultivation are shrinking that replacement habitat.
• The Korean Peninsula holds a notable diversity of amphibians and several endemic species, many of them described or redefined over the past two decades.
