Holoaden Holoaden Holoaden (common name: highland frogs) is a small genus of craugastorid frogs endemic to southeastern Brazil. "Holoaden" is the type genus of subfamily Holoadeninae that was erected in 2008 and placed in family Strabomantidae, erected at the same time. Before that, it was in Brachycephalidae. However, later research has led the whole Strabomantidae, Holoadeninae included, to become included in Craugastoridae. This arrangement is not followed by all, and the AmphibiaWeb still keeps Holoadeninae, and consequently "Holoaden", in Strabomantidae. "Holoaden" grow to snout–vent length at most. Head is narrower than the body. Differentiated tympanic membrane and tympanic annulus are absent.
Semipermeable membrane the rate and the permeability. Many natural and synthetic materials thicker than a membrane are also semipermeable. One example of this is the thin film on the inside of the egg. Note that a semipermeable membrane is not the same as a selectively permeable membrane. Semipermeable membrane describes a membrane that allows some particles to pass through (by size), whereas the selectively permeable membrane "chooses" what passes through (size is not a factor). An example of a biological semi-permeable membrane is the lipid bilayer, on which is based on the plasma membrane that surrounds all biological cells. A group of
