Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Egg clutch dehydration induces early hatching in red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas [PDF]
, 2017 Terrestrial eggs have evolved repeatedly in tropical anurans exposing embryos to the new threat of dehydration. Red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas, lay eggs on plants over water.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1973 Bile salts of six different species of the Anura were investigated by means of thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Bile of Xenopus laevis contained taurine-conjugated and free forms of 3α, 7α, 12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholestanoic acid and 5β-cyprinol sulfate2) as its chief constituents.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.
