ABSTRACT Fishless lakes, which may harbour higher biodiversity than lakes with fish, are becoming increasingly rare due to fish introductions. Although the impacts of fish introduction are relatively well studied in high‐elevation fishless lakes, previous studies have mainly focused on a single invertebrate community or on a particular life stage of a ...

Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity
Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl
Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Niche partitioning among sexual and unisexual Ambystoma salamanders
Organisms that have ecologically similar sexual and asexual forms present an evolutionary puzzle, as theory predicts that eventually one form should eliminate the other.

Topographical features, including elevation and the distance of pools from the coastline and forest, influenced breeding‐site use in coastal landscapes. Pool characteristics such as area and depth, together with abiotic conditions particularly salinity, as well as dissolved oxygen, and temperature, further shaped breeding‐site suitability and patterns ...

Abstract Outdoor recreation and the infrastructure that supports it can impose a wide range of effects on wildlife, and impacts can vary in their severity based on taxa, the surrounding landscape matrix, and the manner in which recreational spaces are managed.

GnRH Protein Levels in Atrazine-Treated Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) [PDF]
Atrazine is the most widely used agricultural herbicide in the United States and a known endocrine disruptor. In amphibians, it has been shown to cause gonadal malformations, feminization of males, behavioral changes, and immune suppression; however, its

The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is widely used in laboratory research around the world, even though it is classified as critically endangered in nature. We review and describe the development of effective management strategies for this species,
