Did True Frogs 'Dispersify?'

Caption

KU researchers concluded true frogs didn't become one of the most biodiverse frog family due to dispersing into new ranges, or due to filling a gap created by a catastrophic die-off. Rather, the rich diversity of species in the Ranidae family comes from millions of years' worth of continual evolution influenced by a host of different environs.
