Fauna de anuros en la ciudad de Salta, Argentina

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2005
La pérdida y transformación del hábitat generado por actividades humanas es una de las principales causas de disminución de biodiversidad. Los anfibios constituyen un grupo en franca declinación a nivel global debido a múltiples motivos, entre ellos la ...

Realistic Representation, Dynamic Evolution and Determinants of Institutional Quality in China

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper delves into the role of institutional quality in bolstering China's economic resilience post‐COVID‐19, CITIC‐Entropy. It divides institutions into basic and changeable categories, establishing an index system via the CITIC‐Entropy TOPSIS model.

Mitonuclear and phenotypic discordance in an Atlantic Forest frog hybrid zone

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA is common among animals and can be the result of a number of evolutionary processes, including incomplete lineage sorting and introgression. Particularly relevant in contact zones, mitonuclear discordance

Diversity and phylogeny of anuran Trypanosomes.

open access: yes, 2007
Anuros há muito tempo são conhecidos como portadores de tripanossomas em todo o mundo. Esses tripanossomas são transmitidos por sanguessugas e insetos hematófagos. Nenhum levantamento foi feito na América do Sul.

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

A large-scale survey of heterochrony in anuran cranial ossification patterns

open access: yes, 2010
Most anurans have a biphasic life cycle, which includes metamorphosis from a tadpole stage to an adult frog. This process involves extensive transformations of the cranial skeleton, which have been of long-standing interest with respect to anuran ...

Offspring Global DNA Methylation is not Affected by Parental Developmental Stress Experience in a Passerine Species

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Variation in anuran abundance along the streams of the western ghats, India

open access: yes, 2005
: In order to test the hypothesis that anuran abundance does not vary between forest and commercial plantations, anurans were sampled along the streams of reserve forests, and adjoining cardamom and coffee plantations on the western slopes of the Western

Comparing anuran performance and movement

open access: yes
Movement in an important component of an animal’s life cycle when it relies on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. When multiple species overlap in the use of these habitats, they rely on other methods to reduce competition for shared resources.
