  Amplexus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amplexus is the process when the male frog grasps the female with his front legs while she lays her eggs.
This mostly happens in the water, but some more terrestrial anurans like the disc-tongued frogs (Discoglossidae) do it on land.
In more advanced anurans like the true frogs (Ranidae), the tree frogs (Hylidae) and the true toads (Bufonidae) the amplexus is axillary (in the armpits), while in less derived anurans (the Archaeobatrachia) it is lumbal (abdominal, in front of the hindlegs).

 Three-headed frog ... not!
Mating of Anurans (frogs and toads) involves the male tightly clasping the female - this is called amplexus - for hours or even days, prior to externally fertilising her eggs.
Amplexus has been misinterpreted before by untrained observers, who didn't recognise it and thought the animals were joined together.
Perhaps the environmental angle - mutation caused by pollution - is the emotional hook.

 Heleophryne
In reporting inguinal amplexus in all three species of sooglossids, Nussbaum (1980) reviewed the literature on amplexus position; Somuncuria, a species of Batrachyla, and some Pleurodema have inguinal amplexus.
Other cases of inguinal amplexus are known for Bufonidae: Osornophryne (Ruiz-C. and Hernández-C., 1976) and Bufo fastidiosus (Graybeal and de Queiroz, 1992), but these are considered to be reversals.
Thus, the level at which axillary amplexus is a synapomorphy is unclear.

It is the female who selects a male for mating, sometimes wondering amongst calling frogs for a few nights just listening to the various calls.
The period of amplexus may last days, but more often than not is over in a few hours.
During mating season the male frog uses his specially designed thumbs which contain newly formed nuptial pads enabling him to cling onto the female for as long as possible, thus ensure successful mating.

 About toads
Amplexus is thought to help to align both male and female reproductive tracts and help to achieve successful fertilisation.
It is probably also a form of mate guarding by the male, reducing the risk that other males will be able to fertilise the females offspring.
The common toad is categorised as an explosive breeder, but males will call to attract unpaired females and deter other males, and there is some evidence that females may choose males with the deepest croak.

Now while it is true that each piece was written specifically for the Amplexus project, the only collaboration between the artists was Steve Roach's addition of ambience and treatments to the Thom Brennan piece.
All the rest of the music was written in separate locations and at different times so it just slightly astounding that each piece meshes together so well.
