The light green frogs are struggling to survive primarily because they are more easily visible to their predators when they are perched on dark logs. This increased visibility makes it difficult for them to evade capture, as their coloration does not provide effective camouflage in their environment.
On the other hand, the dark green frogs are less visible to the same predators due to their coloration blending in better with the surroundings, which likely allows them to avoid being preyed upon more successfully. Consequently, the predation pressure on the light green frogs is higher because they are more conspicuous, leading to lower survival rates for that coloration. This can have implications for the population dynamics and evolutionary pressures on the light green frogs over time.
