Exploring Brain Size Asymmetry and Its Relationship with Predation Risk Among Chinese Anurans [PDF]
BiologyBrain size asymmetry differs considerably across species, including humans, vertebrates, and invertebrates. The subtle structural, functional, or size differences between the two brain sides are associated with processing specific cognitive tasks.

Sexual size dimorphism in anurans [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society 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 ...

Testing the Role of Environmental Harshness and Sexual Selection in Limb Muscle Mass in Anurans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sexual dimorphism is regarded as the consequence of differential responses by males and females to selection pressures. Limb muscle plays a very important role during amplexus, which is likely to be under both natural and sexual selection in anurans ...

Basidioboliasis in Anurans in Florida [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2002 Members of the genus Basidiobolus, a saprophytic fungus, have been associated with the digestive tracts of a wide variety of amphibians and reptiles. To elucidate the relationship of Basidiobolus sp. with amphibians in central Florida (USA), we document the occurrence of the fungus in the digestive tracts of Bufo terrestris, Buffo quercicus, Hyla ...
