The tree frog dendropsophus ebraccatus utilizes a strange form of parental plasticity that is almost unique in the animal kingdom. These parents can deposit their eggs in either terrestrial or aquatic habitats.
To see if genetic differences made frogs lay eggs in water or on land the researchers built miniature ponds in an open field and in the forest. This glycoprotein has to keep in contact with a source of moisture such as water. Although amphibious frogs live on land and in water they must lay their eggs in water or the eggs will dry up effectively killing the offspring inside. All frogs eggs require moisture to develop and most frogs abandon their eggs once they re fertilized.
