Higher Energy Demands and Lower Body Condition in a Hot Spring: Comparing Relict Leopard Frogs at Two Thermally Contrasting Sites

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following range‐wide decline, all remnant populations of the relict leopard frog (Rana onca) in the eastern Mojave Desert of the southwestern USA occupied geothermally influenced hot springs. In recent years, however, several large populations have been established at cold‐water sites.

Anuran Of Taman Negara Johor Endau Rompin [PDF]

, 2016
This book tries to capture the beauty of anurans (frog and toads) in all aspects; morphology and ecology as well as to give the people new knowledge about anuran. This book is good for those who want to learn more about the anuran.

Effects of Two Different Dietary Calcium Concentrations on Bone Density and Skin Microbiome in Lemur Tree Frogs (Agalychnis lemur)

Animals
The lemur tree frog (Agalychnis lemur), a critically endangered species, can benefit from ex situ conservation programs; however, managing amphibians under human care presents challenges, including the provision of appropriate nutrition.

Developmental changes in organ systems of transforming anuran larvae [PDF]

, 1970
Despite an enormous amount of information on the biochemical and physiological changes of amphibian metamorphosis, information about the general anatomy of anuran larvae is not readily available.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Gymnema sylvestre: Bioactive constituents, health benefits, and emerging applications in nutraceuticals and functional foods

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R.Br. ex‐Schult., commonly known as “gurmar” or “sugar destroyer,” belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is traditionally used in Ayurveda for diabetes management. This review synthesizes ethnomedicinal evidence with contemporary pharmacological studies, to evaluate the therapeutic properties and mechanistic actions ...

Viability analysis and the importance of fine‐scale variables influencing roadkills of a toad population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale population variables better explain roadkill patterns in natterjack toads (Epidalea calamita) than habitat proxies, with mortality driven mainly by local abundance, reduced by roadside embankments, and decreasing as the season advanced. Despite high roadkills, population viability analyses indicate no immediate extinction risk under current ...

Optical Stimulation and Monitoring of the Peripheral Nervous System: Perspectives and Challenges Toward Clinical Translation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.
