Digital dissection of the model organism Xenopus laevis using contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]
, 2017 The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is one of the most widely used model organisms in biological research. However, the most recent anatomical description of X. laevis was produced nearly a century ago.

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.

Probabilistic Clustering Using Maximal Matrix Norm Couplings
, 2018 In this paper, we present a local information theoretic approach to explicitly learn probabilistic clustering of a discrete random variable. Our formulation yields a convex maximization problem for which it is NP-hard to find the global optimum. In order

Animals, 2023 Disruptive selection arises when extreme phenotypes have a fitness advantage compared to more-intermediate phenotypes. Theory and evidence suggest that intraspecific resource competition is a key driver of disruptive selection. However, while competition

Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

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
