Hennigan, Tom (2013) An Initial Estimate Toward Identifying and Numbering the Frog Kinds on the Ark: Order Anura. Answers Research Journal, 6: 23. pp. 335-365. ISSN 1937-9056
Biosystematics is in great flux today because of the plethora of genetic research continually shedding light on organism relationships. Despite the large amount of data being published, the challenge is having enough knowledge about genetics to draw conclusions regarding the biological history of organisms and their logical taxonomic placement. Despite these uncertainties, an initial attempt to count and identify Anuran kinds was completed using current information and several key assumptions and guidelines. These include focusing on monophyly, maintaining stability as it pertains to the association of names and their taxa, relying on authors who demonstrate expertise in systematics, hybridization as evidence that species belong to the same kind, the relevance of the cognitum, and assessing characters in order to determine holistic continuity and discontinuity using statistical baraminology. Taking the above into consideration and realizing that Anuran taxonomy is in great flux with new species being identified every year, it is estimated that 140 extant Anuran kinds were brought on the Ark.
