Watson-Crick conjugates of words and languages [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer ScienceIn this work, we explore the concept of Watson-Crick conjugates, also known as $θ$-conjugates (where $θ$ is an antimorphic involution), of words and languages.

Reproductive activity of anurans in a dominant agricultural landscape from central-eastern Argentina
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013 Agriculture can modify natural systems through habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as through the effect of agrochemicals on biological traits such as reproduction.

Anuran swingers: misdirected mating attempts occurred early during anuran diversification
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023 Abstract Promiscuity, explosive breeding and male-biased operational sex-ratios can affect the strength of male selectivity and may play major roles in the expression of misdirected matings (with conspecific males, other species, corpses or objects) in anuran amphibians.

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite loci in the native tree frog species, Polypedates braueri and cross-species amplification in the alien species, P. megacephalus, in Taiwan [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalPolypedates megacephalus is an alien species first recorded in 2006 in Taiwan. The expanding population of P. megacephalus poses potential threats to the native frog species, especially to the closely-related species P. braueri.

Brain regeneration in anuran amphibians [PDF]
Development, Growth & Differentiation, 2007 Urodele amphibians are highly regenerative animals. After partial removal of the brain in urodeles, ependymal cells around the wound surface proliferate, differentiate into neurons and glias and finally regenerate the lost tissue. In contrast to urodeles, this type of brain regeneration is restricted only to the larval stages in anuran amphibians ...

Basidioboliasis in Anurans in Florida [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2002 Members of the genus Basidiobolus, a saprophytic fungus, have been associated with the digestive tracts of a wide variety of amphibians and reptiles. To elucidate the relationship of Basidiobolus sp. with amphibians in central Florida (USA), we document the occurrence of the fungus in the digestive tracts of Bufo terrestris, Buffo quercicus, Hyla ...

Identification key for anuran amphibians in a protected area in the northeastern Atlantic Forest
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2021 The identification of anuran amphibians is still a challenge in megadiverse assemblages. In the Neotropics, the Atlantic Forest harbors more than 600 anuran species, and many studies in this ecoregion report anuran assemblages surpassing 30 species ...

The relationship between pond habitat depth and functional tadpole diversity in an agricultural landscape [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 One of the most important goals of biodiversity studies is to identify which characteristics of local habitats act as filters that determine the diversity of functional traits along environmental gradients. In this study, we investigated the relationship

Sexual size dimorphism in anurans [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the direction and extent of sexual size dimorphism in anurans (in which males are usually smaller than females) as a result of sexual selection. Here, we present an analysis to test the hypothesis that sexual dimorphism in anurans is largely a function of differences between the sexes in life-history ...

Tree cover and habitat type mediate taxonomic and phylogenetic anuran diversity in Southeastern Peru
Global Ecology and ConservationUnderstanding the drivers that shape anuran diversity is crucial for identifying conservation hotspots, particularly as global anuran declines threaten the reduction of their ecosystem functions across food chains.
