The photo above, with the frog peering out of the flower, is a rarer sight. &#8220;I removed them very carefully with a spatula,&#8221; she says. After measuring many frogs, bromeliads, and the volume of water inside them as part of her master&#8217;s degree at Santa Cruz State University, Lantyer concluded that the males are very particular when choosing the flowers in which they will spend their whole lives: they specifically select those with a diameter that allows them to close off the opening with their head.<\/p>\n<p>Image submitted by Amanda Santiago Lantyer-Silva, currently a PhD student at S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP) in Rio Claro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frogs are very particular when choosing the flowers in which they will spend their whole lives","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[206,213],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-291066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photolab","tag-biodiversity","tag-botany"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291066"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":291067,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291066\/revisions\/291067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291066"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=291066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
