Diasporus

Diasporus is a genus of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae. The genus was first described in 2008.[1][2] They are found in Central and northern South America. They are sometimes referred to as dink frogs,[2] in reference to the "tink" sound that males make during the mating season.[3]

Characteristics

Diasporus are small frogs, with a snout–vent length varying between 11 mm (0.43 in) in male Diasporus quidditus to 26 mm (1.0 in) in female Diasporus hylaeformis. They have a relatively large, distinct head. All members have direct development, skipping a tadpole stage.[1] The male advertisement call is either a "whistle" or a "tink" (or "dink"), depending on the species.[4]

Etymology

The name is from the Greek diaspora ("a dispersion from"). It refers to the relationship of this genus to the Caribbean clade of Eleutherodactylus.[1]

Distribution

Diasporus spp. inhabit humid lowland and montane forests from eastern Honduras through Panama to the Pacific versant of Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.[1][5]

The following species are recognised in the genus Diasporus:[2][6]

gollark: Well, you have to deal with the integers from the input, and output integers.
gollark: I can tell you that my entry:- will be submitted- will be written in C or Python- will contain integers for at least the I/O part- will multiply square n * n matrices- will run in either less than, more than or equal to O(n²²¹¹³¹³¹³⁴) time and O((log n)⁶) space- may or may not invoke certain dark bee gods- will be compatible with Linux and potentially other OSes- could contain instances of SCP-3443- will be between (inclusive) 0KB and 20KB (main code file)- may utilize electromagnetic, logical or philosophical induction
gollark: Yes. You know how it is, one moment you're writing a reasonable program with comments and such but the next you accidentally start dropping in Greek identifier names, monoids, and stack frame meddling.

gollark: I don't actually know how to do variably sized 2D arrays; you can always convert them in your code.
