Most opossums are scansorial, well-adapted to life in the trees or on the ground, but members of the Caluromyinae and Glironiinae are primarily arboreal, whereas species of " Metachirus ", " Monodelphis ", and to a lesser degree " Didelphis " show adaptations for life on the ground.

Blackburn, et al . ( 2013 ) consider " Kaloula " species radiated into different ecotypes . " K . kalingensis " and " K . kokacii " occupy niches as arboreal tree-hole frogs in northern and southern Luzon respectively, while " K . rigida " and " K . walteri " are ground frogs in northern and southern Luzon respectively . " K . picta ", which is a terrestrial ground frog, and " K . conjuncta ", which is scansorial ( climbing ) and prefers shrubs, have established themselves throughout the Philippine archipelago . " K . picta " as well as " K . pulchra " display the lowest internal genetic diversity, but also have widespread geographical distributions that may have likely occurred be due to human activity.
