Hematologic and Genotoxicological Research on Pelophylax ridibundus and Bufotes variabilis Living Around the Çan (Çanakkale, Turkey)

Turkish Journal of Bioscience and Collections, 2020
Hematologic parameters play an important role in the determination of the general health status as well as the physiology of amphibian species and the effects of various stress and poor conditions on some species.

Transcriptomic Changes in Hot Spring Frog Tadpoles (Buergeria otai) in Response to Heat Stress

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Buergeria frog tadpoles exhibit high thermal tolerance and are occasionally found in water pools that temporarily exceed 40°C. With the aim of understanding how they can cope with the severe heat stress, we performed RNA-seq of three heat-treated (38°C ...

Meiotic behavior of two polyploid species of genus Pleurodema (Anura: Leiuperidae) from central Argentina [PDF]

, 2014
Polyploidy is an important evolutionary force but rare in vertebrates. However, in anurans, the genus Pleurodema has polyploid species, two of them tetraploid and one octoploid.

Ecological Factors and Anthropogenic Disturbance May Restructure the Skin Microbiota of Maoershan Hynobiids (Hynobius maoershanensis)

Diversity, 2023
Studies on the skin microbiota of amphibians in different disturbed habitats can clarify the relationship between the skin microbiota composition and environmental factors and have practical implications for the conservation of endangered species.

Phylogenetic relationships of African Caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona): insights from mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences [PDF]

, 2003
Africa (excluding the Seychelles) has a diverse caecilian fauna, including the endemic family Scolecomorphidae and six endemic genera of the more cosmopolitan Caeciliidae.

Contradicting habitat type-extinction risk relationships between living and fossil amphibians [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Trait analysis has become a crucial tool for assessing the extinction risk of species. While some extinction risk-trait relationships have been often identical between different living taxa, a temporal comparison of fossil taxa with related current taxa ...

Potential change in the distribution of an abundant and wide-ranging forest salamander in a context of climate change

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2018
Climate change already affects species in many ecosystems worldwide. Since climate is an important component of a species’ ecological niche, up-to-date information about climatic niches is needed to model future species distributions in a context of ...
