Fish and amphibians as bat predators [PDF]
Although bats (Chiroptera) belong to the most diverse mammalian orders, study of diversity of their natural predators has been seriously neglected for a long time.

Current status and management of American bullfrog in Flanders [PDF]
American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus is one of the world’s worst invasive species and suspected to cause substantial ecological damage around the globe through predation, competition and pathogen transmission. The species has been introduced in Flanders at the end of the 1990s, with first observations in nature in 1996.

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

Anatomy of spinal CSF loss in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
India ink introduced into the cranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment of Alligator diffuses along the spinal cord and exits the spinal compartment using perineural flow, resulting in a prominent “ink cuff” forming at the base of the spinal nerve. In Alligator, the region of the ink cuff is drained by a small lymphatic vessel.

Ranavirus Outbreak in North American Bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana), Japan, 2008
To the Editor: Ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae) are emerging pathogens of farmed and wild amphibians and cause high mortality rates in these animals (1). These viruses are associated with massive population decreases of some species (2,3); outbreaks have been reported in the United States, Asia, Micronesia, and Europe.

Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for innate immunity against pathogens, yet its function in amphibians remains poorly understood. Here, we identified and cloned two novel isoforms of NLRP3 from the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana), designated AcNLRP3 X1 and AcNLRP3 X2, with open reading frames of 2397 bp (798 aa) and 2874 bp (957 aa)

Ionic–Bionic Interfaces: Advancing Iontronic Strategies for Bioelectronic Sensing and Therapy
Ionic–bionic interfaces for bioelectronics leverage ions as multifunctional mediators that combine mechanical compliance, ionic and electronic functionalities, and therapeutic effects. These systems offer real‐time biosignal transduction, effective wound dressing, responsive drug delivery, and seamless interaction between soft tissues and electronic ...
