Species Recognition Is Constrained by Chorus Noise, but Not Inconsistency in Signal Production, in Cope’s Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Optimal mate choice based on the assessment of communication signals can be constrained by multiple sources of noise. One well-known impediment to acoustically guided mating decisions is the ambient noise created by multiple signaling individuals in ...

Selectivity Filter Dynamics Define Ion Conductance and Selectivity Differences in CNG and HCN Channels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cyclic nucleotide‐gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization‐activated cyclic nucleotide‐gated (HCN) channels share substantial sequence and structural similarity but differ markedly in ion conductance and K+ selectivity. Microsecond‐scale atomistic MD simulations qualitatively reproduced the conductance differences observed in single‐channel recordings and ...

First amphibian behavioural observation from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: predation of a Dryophytes japonicus tadpole by Hydaticus sp. larvae

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
Data on the predator-prey relationship of small animal species is still understudied, especially in countries where scientific research is not yet widely shared, such as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Heterogeneous Wettability‐Based Construction of Two‐Phase Interfaces for Underwater Reversible Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

Lack of Behavioral and Chemical Interference Competition for Refuges among Native Treefrogs and Invasive Cuban Treefrogs (Osteopilus septentrionalis)

Diversity, 2018
The introduction of a novel competitor can dramatically alter community dynamics, and competition-mediated impacts often result from biological invasions.

The return to water in ancestral Xenopus was accompanied by a novel mechanism for producing and shaping vocal signals

eLife, 2019
Listeners locate potential mates using species-specific vocal signals. As tetrapods transitioned from water to land, lungs replaced gills, allowing expiration to drive sound production. Some frogs then returned to water.

Like a Fish out of Water: Temporary Habitat Switching Detected in Aquatic Tadpoles Resting Above the Water's Surface

Ecology and Evolution
Amphibian tadpoles are typically aquatic and constrained to freshwater throughout development. These circumstances change at metamorphosis, whereupon individuals may complete a partial or full habitat shift towards terrestriality and gain the capacity to

Popliteal sinus venipuncture in anurans

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
Abstract OBJECTIVE To demonstrate an underutilized, reliable, and technically simple anuran venipuncture technique by use of the popliteal sinus. ANIMALS Medium to large (> 30 g) anuran species. METHODS The animal is manually restrained using an encircling grip around the pelvic girdle. With the ventrum facing the phlebotomist, the phlebotomist
