Frogs identified by the FrogID project

I joined the Australian Museum’s FrogID project in early 2020 to then submit audio recordings of frog calls, via their FrogID app, from each of our dams. The project has identified more frog species than I expected:

Crinia sp.

Eastern sign-bearing froglet (Crinia parinsignifera)
Common eastern froglet (Crinia signifera)

Limnodynastes sp.

Eastern banjo frog (Limnodynastes dumerilii)
Spotted marsh frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis)

Litoria sp.

Bleating tree frog (Litoria dentata)
Eastern dwarf tree frog (Litoria fallax)
Broad-palmed frog (Litoria latopalmata)
Peron's tree frog (Litoria peronii)
Desert tree frog (Litoria rubella)
Whistling Tree Frog (Litoria verreauxii)

Uperoleia sp.

Smooth toadlet (Uperoleia laevigata)

How common is each species?

With 60 recordings, as at November 2021, here's the number of occurences of each species:
42 Crinia parinsignifera
33 Limnodynastes tasmaniensis
28 Crinia signifera
25 Uperoleia laevigata
21 Litoria peronii
14 Litoria fallax
2 Litoria latopalmata
2 Litoria dentata
1 Litoria verreauxii
