    Voorbeeldzinnen

    1. Xenopus laevis (Clawed frog)
    2. Frog (Xenopus (laevis, tropicalis), Rana (temporaria, pipiens))
    3. Airstones are not required for Xenopus.
    4. For example, in Xenopus spp. group feeding promotes feeding frenzies inducing all animals to feed.
    5. For example, in Xenopus spp. a tube of ceramic or plastic may be provided.
    6. Aquatic amphibians such as Xenopus laevis or amphibian larvae are housed in tanks and aquaria.
    7. Aquatic anurans, e.g., Xenopus spp: Minimum enclosure dimensions and space allowances.
    8. Aquatic anurans, e.g., Xenopus spp: Minimum enclosure dimensions and space allowances. [30]
    9. For Xenopus spp., systems with regular changes of water (fill-and-dump systems) are sufficient for maintaining appropriate water quality (such as minimising levels in ammonia).
    10. The provision of hiding places/shelters that are appropriate to the amphibian's needs is recommended, because they can reduce stress on captive amphibians. For example, in Xenopus spp. a tube of ceramic or plastic may be provided.
    11. For example, in Xenopus spp. group feeding promotes feeding frenzies inducing all animals to feed. At very low stocking densities such frenzies do not occur and food is frequently not eaten.
    12. Aquatic amphibians such as Xenopus laevis or amphibian larvae are housed in tanks and aquaria. These may be equipped with a gentle flow-through water system for the circulation of uncontaminated (for example, dechlorinated) water, a heating device to maintain suitable temperatures, and a compressed air supply and airstones for aeration.
    13. They differ greatly in their patterns of geographic distribution and in the diversity of living types, such as aquatic (for example, Xenopus laevis), semi-aquatic (for example, Rana temporaria), semi-terrestrial (for example, Bufo marinus) and arboreal (for example, Hyla cinerea).
