Abstract
Color mutations and variations in amphibians are often found in the wild. They are potential subjects for genetic research, and are also a good indicator of environmental changes, because they normally occur during two distinct stages of the amphibian life cycle: in water, during the tadpole stage, and on land, after metamorphosis. However, reviews and compilations on the mutations and variations in wild-caught amphibians are scarce. Here, I present the color mutations and variations in Japanese frog species and show the results of our genetic analyses on the mechanisms of color expression and their implications.
