Control methods for unwanted anurans

open access: yes, 2011
Anurans (frogs and toads) worldwide are threatened by habitat loss, emerging infectious diseases, overexploitation, pollution, climatic change and introduction of exotic species. As a result of human activities, some anurans have actually increased their

Feeding Mechanisms in Anuran Tadpoles [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1950
I CAN confirm that the method of mucous cord feeding referred to by Dodd1 plays a part in the natural lives of tadpoles of Rana temporaria, Bufo bufo and Bombina variegata living under natural or semi-natural conditions. It is, however, remarkable that among the many tadpoles which have been examined, definite mucous cords have been seen in only a few.

Comparative development of anurans: using phylogeny to understand ontogeny

open access: yes, 2001
SYNOPSIS. Hypotheses of relationships are critical to describing and understand-ing patterns of evolution within groups of organisms. But rarely has a comparative, historical approach been employed to study developmental change, particularly among ...

Nonlinear permuted Granger causality

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Granger causality is an established, contentious method that seeks causal temporal connections via association and precedence. While not true causal inference, it assists in mapping networks of information flow that may warrant further study.

Impact of anthropogenic disturbance on Anurans habitat and species richness in Silago, Southern Leyte, Philippines

open access: yes, 2020
Studying the response of anurans to anthropogenic disturbance can be very useful in determining the potentiality of this species as a bio-indicator. The study was conducted to assess and describe the habitat condition (i.e., microclimatic, microhabitat ...

Captivated by Kinesin

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Few proteins have inspired as much curiosity as kinesin. Since its discovery 40 years ago, kinesin has become one of the best understood molecular machines in biology, yet it continues to reveal new questions about how cells organize and move their contents.

Mosaic activation of the zebrafish hsp70l heat shock promoter: Implications for interpreting transgenes

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The promoters and enhancers of heat shock genes, such as the 1.5‐kb promoter of the zebrafish hsp70l gene, are valuable tools for temporal activation of transgenes. It has been widely purported that heat shock treatments result in ubiquitous expression of hsp70l‐driven transgenes.
