Redirect is wrong

This redirect is the worng way round - there are at least 3 frogs called pobblebonks, eastern banjo is only one - also western B.f. etc

I know about that. There are currently no articles on the other Pobblebonks. Once someone creates it, I will create the disambiguous page. Don't worry, I am keeping my eye on it. --liquidGhoul 02:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Poisonous

Is the frog poisonous? --HappyCamper 15:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It produces some chemicals in its glands but is not toxic like the Poison Dart Frogs.--Tnarg 12345 10:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand introduction?

Is there any source for the introduction of this frog into Australia. I have previously read up on NZ frog introductions, and can't recall coming across this species. Thanks. --liquidGhoul 14:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't now any source but I'm pretty sure it was introduced. Froggydarb 22:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, they were introduced. It was only recently (I think 2001). Some person brought them to NZ and said he found them there, which turned out to be a lie. He released a few adults and tadpoles, and since then they have all been collected, but not before they were able to spread chytrid fungus to the native frog population (thats how it got there). Arthur White gave a talk about this at one of the FATS meetings and he had photos from them over there, so there would probably be a news related article around somewhere on the net about the introduction.--Tnarg¹²³⁴⁵ 23:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few documents:1, 2,3. Froggydarb 23:21, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Banjo frog

This ought to be moved to the proper name, or failing that: Banjo Frog. Fred ☻ 11:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the proper name, and should stay where it is. Banjo Frog shouldn't redirect here, it should be a page similar to Green Tree Frog. --liquidGhoul 00:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opinions and regional variations on the name are legion. They would agree on one name.

Limnodynastes dumerilii

These are some others

- Limnodynastes dumerili frogs.org.au; "Eastern Banjo Frog" Also: Eastern Pobblebonk, Four-bob Frog
- Limnodynastes dumerilii Frogs Australia Network Common names: Eastern Banjo Frog; Grey-bellied Pobblebonk; Eastern Pobblebonk; Pobblebonk; Bullfrog
- Eastern Banjo Frog is the only other name given by Cogger (1983), but not in the index - unsurprisingly - it is not a systematic name. Limnodynastes dorsalis (Western Banjo Frog or Pobblebonk) says

This and related species in eastern Australia are often known as 'Banjo Frogs', while Main records the name 'Pobblebonk' for the above species[Limnodynastes dorsalis]. Harold Cogger Myobatrachidae: Limnodynastes. p.51

- Banjo Frog, Bullfrog, and Pobblebonk is from the IUCN, a google search reveals the extent of confusion across many different secondary sources.

The subspecies are also given the eastern appellation, or not, what do we call an article for Limnodynastes dumerilii dumerilii. The large amount of confusion is not based around the proper name, used since since 1863 (Peters). Fred ☻ 02:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
