Autonomous Polymer Frameworks for Sustainable Tissue‐Interfaced Plastic Bioelectronics
This review focuses on plastic bioelectronic systems integrated with autonomous polymer frameworks (auto‐POFs) and summarizes recent progress in this field. It provides an in‐depth analysis of the design strategies and operational mechanisms of auto‐POFs, highlighting their pivotal role in enhancing the sustainability and interfacial adaptability of ...

Timing of detachment faulting in the Bullfrog Hills and Bare Mountain area, southwest Nevada: Inferences from 40Ar/39Ar, K-Ar, U-Pb and fission track thermochronology [PDF]
Crustal extension in the Bullfrog Hills and Bare Mountain area of southwest Nevada is associated with movement along a regional detachment fault. Normal faulting in the upper plate and rapid cooling (denudation) of the lower plate were coeval with ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Characterization of a bacteriocin produced by enterococcus gallinarum CRL 1826 Isolated from captive bullfrog: evaluation of its mode of action against Listeria monocytogenes and gram-negatives [PDF]
Enterococcus gallinarum CRL 1826 isolated from an American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) skin inhibits the growth of Citrobacter freundii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (bullfrog pathogens) and Listeria monocytogenes by a synergistic effect between organic

How to manage the continued impact of Chytrid fungus on Kihansi Spray Toad population in the wild. ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is fatal to some amphibian species, whereas others can carry the pathogen without developing disease.

American bullfrog management on Vancouver Island
The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) is an invasive amphibian native to the eastern region of North America that is now located throughout the south west coast of British Columbia due to ill-fated frog’s legs operations. Brought to Vancouver Island in the 1930’s, the American bullfrog has spread throughout the south island and threatens to ...

The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

Flexibility within the middle ears of vertebrates [PDF]
Introduction and aims: Tympanic middle ears have evolved multiple times independently among vertebrates, and share common features. We review flexibility within tympanic middle ears and consider its physiological and clinical implications.

The “regime shift extinctions” hypothesis and mass extinction of waterbirds in Hawaiʻi
Abstract Studies of biodiversity loss commonly imply that species extinctions occurred as a direct result of initial human arrival and thus are attributable to stewardship failures of Indigenous Peoples. However, recent studies have suggested this assumption is not supported by the evidence, prompting a global reevaluation of existing assumptions.

American bullfrog invasion in Argentina: where should we take urgent measures?
Argentina is the country with the most geographically extended biological invasion of the American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in South America after Brazil. Here, we used a maximum entropy ecological niche modeling algorithm (using records of the native range of American bullfrog) to project the model onto the whole of Argentina.
