Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.
