Advanced Science, EarlyView.To address adhesion failure in sweaty epidermal electronics, this study proposes a cross‐species, multi‐scale biomimetic interface. By modeling staged wet adhesion, it integrates self‐regulating liquid bridges with directional drainage. This design ensures stable, high‐performance flexible sensing in complex physiological environments, offering a ...

Predation Risk Experienced by Tadpoles Shapes Personalities Before but Not After Metamorphosis
Ecology and EvolutionConsistent inter‐individual differences in behaviour, that is, personalities, can emerge as a result of inter‐individual differences in ontogenetic experience, and predation risk is a potent one.

AMPHIBIAN DISTRIBUTION IN THE GEORGIA SEA ISLANDS: IMPLICATIONS FROM THE PAST AND FOR THE FUTURE [PDF]
, 2020 We summarized amphibian distributions for 12 coastal islands in Georgia, USA. Occurrence among islands was correlated with life history traits, habitats, island size, distance to other islands, and island geological age.

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 ...

A Brazilian anuran (Hylodes magalhaesi: Leptodactylidae) infected by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis: a conservation concern [PDF]
, 2006 Several studies have associated the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis with anuran population declines worldwide. To date, the fungus has been found in Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The action spectrum of a tailored azobenzene is shifted toward bio‐optical window through the chemical modification of its singlet and triplet energy levels. Consequently, the bidirectional photo‐switching of azobenzene in physiological conditions is achieved when excited by red and far‐red light, which offers greater tissue penetration.

Intradermal infections by chigger mites (Hannemania spp.) in the Andean frog Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura, Telmatobiidae) [PDF]
, 2015 Here, we report the infection of adults of the Andean frog Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura, Telmatobiidae) by leeuwenhoekiid mites of the genus Hannemania and describe the histological characteristics of the normal and infected skin and the mite's larval ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The weakly‐solvating TFMSPyr electrolyte tailors the Li+ solvation structure by suppressing solvent coordination and promoting anion‐dominated solvation. This unique solvation environment induces preferential anion decomposition at electrode interfaces, forming robust inorganic rich S/CEI.

Frog Skin Innate Immune Defences: Sensing and Surviving Pathogens
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Amphibian skin is a mucosal surface in direct and continuous contact with a microbially diverse and laden aquatic and/or terrestrial environment. As such, frog skin is an important innate immune organ and first line of defence against pathogens in the ...

Acta Herpetologica, 2020 Despite their detrimental effects on locomotion, prevalence of hindlimb abnormalities is increasing in anuran populations worldwide. Among others, agrochemical pollution during the larval stage is a potential cause. However, populations exposed to such a
