Pacific tree frog
The Pacific tree frog (''Pseudacris regilla''), also known as the Pacific chorus frog, has a range from the West Coast of the United States (from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington) to British Columbia in Canada and extreme southern Alaska.〔 They live from sea level to more than 10,000 feet in many types of habitats, reproducing in aquatic settings. They occur in shades of greens or browns and can change colors over periods of hours and weeks.
== Taxonomy ==
The naming of this frog has a very confusing history. First, the frog was moved from the genus ''Hyla'' to the genus ''Pseudacris'' in 1986.〔 Then, in 2006, Recuero ''et al.'' split the frog into three species. Recuero ''et al.'' attached the name ''Pseudacris regilla'' with the central component, ''Pseudacris hypochondriaca'' with southern (Baja Californian) component, and ''Pseudacris pacifica'' with northern component. However, if this split is accepted, the correct name (i.e., the oldest available name) for the northern component is ''Pseudacris regilla'' and for the central one ''Pseudacris sierra''. This revision remains controversial.〔Dodd, C. K., Jr. 2013. Frogs of the United States and Canada. Volume 1. xxxi + 460.〕 The Amphibian Species of the World 6.0 recognizes the split, but uses the name ''Pseudacris regilla'' for the northern component, the definition followed in this article.
