Odorant-binding proteins in canine anal sac glands indicate an evolutionarily conserved role in mammalian chemical communication

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Chemical communication is an important aspect of the behavioural ecology of a wide range of mammals. In dogs and other carnivores, anal sac glands are thought to convey information to conspecifics by secreting a pallet of small volatile ...

Development of swimming speed-based biomarker reveals interactive toxicity of TCEP and TCPP in amphibian larvae

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl) phosphate (TCPP) are increasingly co-detected in various aquatic environments, yet their combined toxicity remains poorly understood.

Identification of tumor-related genes via RNA sequencing of tumor tissues in Xenopus tropicalis

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cancer treatment is still challenging because the disease is often caused by multiple mutations. Although genomic studies have identified many oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, gene sets involved in tumorigenesis remain poorly understood.

Mechanisms of tail resorption during anuran metamorphosis

Biomolecular Concepts, 2017
Amphibian metamorphosis has historically attracted a good deal of scientific attention owing to its dramatic nature and easy observability. However, the genetic mechanisms of amphibian metamorphosis have not been thoroughly examined using modern ...

Postmating isolation and evolutionary relationships among Fejervarya species from Lesser Sunda, Indonesia and other Asian countries revealed by crossing experiments and mtDNA Cytb sequence analyses

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
To evaluate the degree of postmating isolation and the evolutionary relationships among frog species in the genus Fejervarya from Indonesia (Lesser Sunda), Bangladesh, China, and Japan, crossing experiments and molecular phylogenetic analyses were ...

Using environmental DNA for detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in natural water

Environmental DNA, 2020
Rapid, early, and reliable detection of invasive pathogenic microorganisms is essential in order to either predict or delineate an outbreak, and monitor appropriate mitigation measures. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is expanding in

Folk taxonomy and indigenous names for frogs in Zululand, South Africa

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2019
Background We use taxonomy to organize the world into recognizable units. Folk taxonomy deals with the naming and classification of organisms through culture. Unlike its scientific counterpart, folk taxonomy is mostly undocumented, the Zoological Code of
