Amphibian biodiversity is declining globally, with over 40% of species being considered threatened to become extinct. Crucial to the success of conservation initiatives are a comprehensive understanding of life history and reproductive ecology of target species. Here we provide an overview of the Pseudacris genus, including breeding behaviour, reproduction, development, survival and longevity. We present an updated distribution map of the 18 species found throughout North America. We also summarize the conservation status at the national and subnational (state, provincial, and territorial) levels, in Canada, USA, and Mexico, to evaluate the relationship between life history traits and extinction risk. Results show a high degree of consistency in the life history traits of Pseudacris species considering their relative diversity and wide distribution in North America. However, data are lacking for several species, particularly in the Fat Frog and West Coast clades, causing some uncertainties and discrepancies in the literature. We also found that the most threatened populations of chorus frog were located in the east coast of the USA, potentially as a result of increased levels of anthropogenic disturbance. We suggest that the similarities in life history traits among chorus frog species provides an opportunity for collaboration and united efforts for the conservation of the genus.

北美拟蝾螈（Hylidae）的生活史特征和生殖生态学

全球两栖动物生物多样性正在下降，超过 40% 的物种被认为面临灭绝威胁。保护计划成功的关键是全面了解目标物种的生活史和生殖生态。在这里，我们概述了 Pseudacris 属，包括繁殖行为、繁殖、发育、存活和寿命。我们展示了在整个北美发现的 18 种物种的更新分布图。我们还总结了加拿大、美国和墨西哥的国家和次国家（州、省和地区）级别的保护状况，以评估生活史特征与灭绝风险之间的关系。结果表明，考虑到 Pseudacris 物种在北美的相对多样性和广泛分布，它们的生活史特征具有高度的一致性。然而，缺乏几个物种的数据，特别是在 Fat Frog 和 West Coast 进化枝中，导致文献中存在一些不确定性和差异。我们还发现，受威胁最严重的合唱蛙种群位于美国东海岸，这可能是由于人为干扰程度增加的结果。我们认为，合唱蛙物种之间生活史特征的相似性为合作和共同努力保护该属提供了机会。造成文献中的一些不确定性和差异。我们还发现，受威胁最严重的合唱蛙种群位于美国东海岸，这可能是由于人为干扰程度增加的结果。我们认为，合唱蛙物种之间生活史特征的相似性为合作和共同努力保护该属提供了机会。造成文献中的一些不确定性和差异。我们还发现，受威胁最严重的合唱蛙种群位于美国东海岸，这可能是由于人为干扰程度增加的结果。我们认为，合唱蛙物种之间生活史特征的相似性为合作和共同努力保护该属提供了机会。
