Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies

open access: yesGenes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

Decreased cold‐sensing function of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 from tailed amphibians

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1477-1490, August 2026.
Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2151-2175, August 2026.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

A Generalizable Tool for Predicting Developmental Phenology for Wild Ecotherms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Custom hatch timing models developed for four North American Lithobates frog species. Models are parameterized from Moore (1939). Panels (A, B) shows differential developmental rates under varying thermal regimes and G × E interactions. ABSTRACT Development in poikilothermic organisms is strongly temperature‐dependent, particularly during early life ...

Twenty‐Year Progress in Landscape Genetics of Tetrapods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of tetrapod landscape genetics between 2003 and 2025. ABSTRACT Landscape genetics, an interdisciplinary field integrating population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques, has progressed significantly over two decades, yet systematic reviews of its application to tetrapods remain limited. Here, we review

A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection. Abstract Long‐

Reproducción ex situ en Ambystoma Granulosum y Ambystoma Lermaense (Amphibia: Ambystomatidae)

open access: yesACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.), 2009
Los anfibios están desapareciendo a nivel mundial. Varias especies se han perdido y miles más están en peligro de extinción. De las especies que están amenazadas, varias no se pueden proteger en su medio natural, por lo que es urgente realizar acciones de conservación ex situ que aseguren su preservación. Ambystoma granulosum y Ambystoma lermaense, son

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.

Consumptive and non-consumptive predator effects from native fish but not invasive crayfish on Ambystoma salamander larvae

open access: yesFrontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Introduced species impose a variety of negative impacts on native biodiversity, including as consumers of native species. Invasive consumers can also impact native species indirectly through non-consumptive predator effects, where mere presence of the ...
