Two New Frog Species Discovered in Mizoram Including University Campus Find
Researchers have identified two new frog species in Mizoram: Duttaphrynus phawngpui, found above 2,000 meters in Phawngpui National Park, and Ingerana aizawl, discovered on Mizoram University campus. Both species were confirmed through genetic and morphological analyses, resolving previous taxonomic uncertainties. The findings highlight the region's rich and under-recorded amphibian diversity and support the idea that isolated mountain peaks serve as unique habitats for distinct species.
