Characterization of acoustic traits and seasonal calling pattern of Dryophytes japonicus rain calls: a potential bioindicator of climate change

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Amphibians are sensitive to environmental change owing to their permeable skin and ectothermic nature. Frog calls can serve as bioindicators because call features and calling activity vary according to environmental factors.

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Clinical Physical Exam Shows High Sensitivity for Detecting Labral Tears in Individuals With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To determine the diagnostic performance of the combined use of radiographs and physical exam findings, compared with magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) alone, for the primary diagnosis of labral tears in individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Is the red spotted green frog Hypsiboas punctatus (Anura: Hylidae) selecting its preys?: The importance of prey availability

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2009
The study of the feeding ecology of amphibians is an old issue in herpetology. Notwithstanding, the lack of food resources data in many studies of amphibians feeding has lead to partial understanding of frog feeding strategies.

Influence of habitat heterogeneity on anuran diversity in Restinga landscapes of the Parnaíba River delta, northeastern Brazil

ZooKeys, 2018
Anurans have close associations with environmental conditions and therefore represent an interesting vertebrate group for examining how resource availability and environmental variables influence species diversity.

Making it explicit – Sustained shared thinking dialogue as a way to explore children's perspectives on quality in German early childhood education and care

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract To negotiate quality in early childhood education and care, we must ask from different perspectives what constitutes a good centre for children. The children themselves have only recently been identified as a resource to contribute to that discussion.

Learning with Patient Campaigners About a German Drug Scandal

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
The West German drug Duogynon was internationally marketed as a “hormone pregnancy test” (HPT) between the 1950s and 1980s. In the late 1960s it came under suspicion for inducing miscarriage, spina bifida, and a spectrum of birth defects similar to those caused by the sedative thalidomide.

Affinity Peptides With pH Sensitivity for the Enrichment of CD38+ Cells

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selective enrichment of cell populations based on surface markers is critical for the advancement of gene and cell therapies. Current antibody‐based cell isolation methods, such as fluorescence‐ and magnetic‐activated cell sorting (FACS and MACS), offer high specificity but are limited by scalability, cost, and potential adverse effects on

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
