Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]
, 2009 Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R-K and depleted in D-N-Q-T-S-H-A. Here, we show that this

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Climate change (CC) and land‐use/cover change (LUCC) are threatening species worldwide, with amphibians and reptiles being particularly vulnerable. In Cilento, a highly biodiverse Mediterranean area in the southern Appenine protected by a National Park and 30 Natura 2000 Network sites, 11 amphibians and 16 reptiles could disappear in the future ...

Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...

Mapping the Space of Genomic Signatures
, 2014 We propose a computational method to measure and visualize interrelationships among any number of DNA sequences allowing, for example, the examination of hundreds or thousands of complete mitochondrial genomes.

Distant Orientation in the Amphibia [PDF]
Nature, 1911 ROMANES, in his book on “Animal Intelligence”, suggests that frogs have a distinct idea of locality, and he also expresses the opinion that frogs are able to perceive moisture from a great distance. One of his correspondents found that frogs removed from their habitual haunts for 200 or 300 yards returned to them again and again. Romanes quotes Warden,

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

The mitochondrial genomes of three species of poison frogs (Anura: Dendrobates)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 We reconstructed nearly complete mitogenomes for three species of poison frogs, Dendrobates auratus, D. leucomelas, and D. tinctorius, from RNAseq data. We recovered the 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes (except tRNA-Val for D.
