Neuromorphic Devices and Computing for Sensing, Memory, and Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review introduces neuromorphic devices made from diverse materials. These devices mimic neuronal functions and architectures and, when integrated with artificial or biological computing, can form closed loops with neurons for pressure, optical, acoustic, and biochemical sensing and modulation.

Mechanics of the exceptional anuran ear [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2008
The anuran ear is frequently used for studying fundamental properties of vertebrate auditory systems. This is due to its unique anatomical features, most prominently the lack of a basilar membrane and the presence of two dedicated acoustic end organs, the basilar papilla and the amphibian papilla. Our current anatomical and functional knowledge implies

Anuran species in Brazil's protected areas network

, 2020
Amphibians are one of the most threatened among the vertebrates species and urgently require conservation protection and planning. The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is one of the most important strategies in protecting biodiversity, as they ...

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

Dietary data of an anuran assemblage from Yasuní National Park

, 2022
This dataset describes the diet of a highly diverse tropical anuran assemblage. We report the diet composition of 35 species collected at Yasuní National Park, based on the examination of the gastrointestinal contents of 396 frog specimens available in ...

At the edge of change: Native Phragmites persistence and nonnative arrival along the dam‐regulated Colorado River

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The southwestern United States is at the forefront of nonnative Phragmites australis subsp. australis expansion. Native Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, likely in decline in North America, is ecologically and culturally important and of conservation interest. In the greater Grand Canyon region, the Glen Canyon Dam led to loss of

Comparison of the responses of male Japanese treefrog (Dryophytes japonicus) to the rain and advertisement calls

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Anurans communicate with others using several types of calls such as advertisement, encounter, release, and rain calls. Some treefrog species produce rain calls from their daytime shelters, such as trees and bushes, during both the breeding and non ...

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 ...
