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.

Pathogenic fungus in feral populations of the invasive North American bullfrog in Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 Nearly a third (32.4%) of the world?s amphibian species are either threatened with extinction or already extinct (1). The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) (Chytridiomycetes: Ryzophydiales) (2) has been recognized as responsible for mass

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.

Cane toads lack physiological enhancements for dispersal at the invasive front in Northern Australia
Biology Open, 2011 Summary Many invasive species have evolved behavioural and morphological characteristics that facilitate their dispersal into new areas, but it is unclear how selection on this level of the phenotype filters through to the underlying physiology.

The tadpole of Physalaemus fernandezae (Anura: Leptodactylidae) [PDF]
, 2006 This paper describes the external and buccopharyngeal morphology, chondrocranium and cranial muscles in tadpoles of Physalaemus fernandezae. The data are compared with those for other species of Physalaemus to improve the diagnosis of the “species group”

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.
