Shockwave,
I remember seeing reports about coquis getting larger. My personal experience is yes, the coquis I find on my property (including the damn lanai for goodness sake) are larger than when they first arrived. However, there may be a very reasonable explanation for this other than some sort of mutation.

""It's not true that the frogs are getting larger. What's going on is that the populations of the frogs are maturing, so there are more and more frogs that are living longer. They don't stop growing until 6 or 7 years old, so there are more large, adult frogs showing up with more frequency," he said."
