“滅絕”137年后,樹(shù)蛙在印度重現(xiàn) (中英雙語(yǔ))

青島希尼爾翻譯公司(www.myfavoritepainters.net)整理發(fā)布2016-01-23

希尼爾翻譯公司(www.myfavoritepainters.net)2016年1月23日了解到:An extraordinary tree frog thought to have died out more than a century ago has been rediscovered in India.

最近,一種曾經(jīng)被認(rèn)為已滅絕一個(gè)多世紀(jì)的珍稀樹(shù)蛙在印度被發(fā)現(xiàn)。

The discovery was made by renowned Indian biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju and a team of scientists, in the jungles of north-eastern India.

印度著名生物學(xué)家比朱和一個(gè)科學(xué)家小組在印度東北部的叢林中發(fā)現(xiàn)了這種樹(shù)蛙。

It is hoped the frogs might now be found across a wide area, from China to Thailand.

該樹(shù)蛙有望在中國(guó)到泰國(guó)等更廣泛的地區(qū)存在。

Studies of the frog have also led scientists to reclassify it as an entirely new genus.

科學(xué)家通過(guò)對(duì)這種樹(shù)蛙進(jìn)行研究,決定將它作為一種全新的種類(lèi)重新分類(lèi)。

The golf ball-sized frog lives in tree holes up to 6m (19ft) above ground, which may have helped it stay undiscovered.

這種高爾夫球大小的青蛙居住在距離地面6m高(19英尺)的樹(shù)洞中,這也許是它一直未被人類(lèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的原因之一。

Although other scientists have suggested it may have gone unnoticed simply because there are so few scientists working in the remote region.

然而,其他科學(xué)家認(rèn)為它之所以未被注意到,僅僅是因?yàn)樵谄h(yuǎn)地區(qū)工作的科學(xué)家太少。

The height at which they live is not their only quirk, with females laying their fertilized eggs in tree holes filled with water, only to return after the tadpoles hatch, to feed them with unfertilized eggs.

這種樹(shù)蛙奇怪之處不僅僅在于它居住的高度。當(dāng)雌蛙在充滿(mǎn)水的樹(shù)洞里產(chǎn)下受精卵后,它們便會(huì)離開(kāi),直到小蝌蚪孵化,它們會(huì)返回并把未受精卵作為食物喂給小蝌蚪們。

Unlike most frogs, adults also eat vegetation rather than insects and larvae.

和大多數(shù)青蛙不同,成年樹(shù)蛙不僅僅吃昆蟲(chóng)和幼蟲(chóng),它們還會(huì)吃植物。

The newly uncovered frogs were first found by accident in 2007, during a search for other animals.

這種新發(fā)現(xiàn)的青蛙最早是由于2007年一次尋找其他動(dòng)物的過(guò)程中出現(xiàn)的巧合。

Mr Biju, of the University of Delhi, is known as The Frog Man in India, for discovering 89 of the country’s 350 or so frog species.

德里大學(xué)的比朱先生被稱(chēng)為“印度蛙人”,因?yàn)樵谟《?50種左右的青蛙品種中,有89個(gè)品種是由他發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

"We heard a full musical orchestra coming from the tree tops. It was magical. Of course we had to investigate," Mr Biju said.

“我們聽(tīng)到樹(shù)頂傳來(lái)美妙的樂(lè)隊(duì)演奏聲,充滿(mǎn)了魔力。所以我們必須要進(jìn)行調(diào)查研究?!北戎煜壬f(shuō)。

Using DNA analysis, Mr Biju and his colleagues have now identified the frogs as part of a new genus, meaning it has a new name.

借助DNA分析,比朱先生和他的同事們目前已確認(rèn)這種青蛙為一個(gè)全新的種類(lèi),也就是說(shuō)它將被賦予一個(gè)全新的名字。

It has changed from Polypedates jerdonii - named after Thomas Jerdon, the British zoologist that collected the previously only known specimens in 1870 - to Frankixalus jerdonii, after herpetologist Franky Bossuyt - Mr Biju’s adviser when he studied at Vrije Universiteit in Brussels, Belgium.

它由“截吻泛樹(shù)蛙”-以英國(guó)動(dòng)物學(xué)家托馬斯·哲登于1870年收集之前僅有的品種而命名的,更名為“截吻弗蘭克蛙”-以爬行動(dòng)物學(xué)家弗蘭克·博敘命名(弗蘭克為比朱先生在比利時(shí)布魯塞爾自由大學(xué)進(jìn)修時(shí)的導(dǎo)師)。

Although the frogs have since been found in significant numbers, they are far from safe, Mr Biju warned, with tropical forests being cut down at alarming rates to make way for agriculture and human settlements.

盡管這種樹(shù)蛙自發(fā)現(xiàn)以來(lái)數(shù)量龐大,但仍存在安全風(fēng)險(xiǎn),比朱先生做出警告。因?yàn)闉榱吮阌谵r(nóng)業(yè)和人類(lèi)居住,熱帶雨林正以駭人的速度遭到亂砍濫伐。來(lái)源:BBC
