How do we share food? Feeding of four amphibian species from an aquatic habitat in south–western Romania [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2013
The feeding of four amphibian species (Triturus cristatus, Lissotriton vulgaris, Bombina variegata, Pelophylax ridibundus) was studied in 2011, in south–western Romania.

Relation between Water Balance and Climatic Variables Associated with the Geographical Distribution of Anurans

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Amphibian species richness increases toward the equator, particularly in humid tropical forests. This relation between amphibian species richness and environmental water availability has been proposed to be a consequence of their high rates of ...

Animal models in molecular biology research: Challenges, ethical imperatives, and the path to human‐relevant translation

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how molecular biology research has shifted from using traditional animal models toward using methods that are more relevant to humans. It points out the main problems, differences between species, difficulty in reproducing results, moral issues, and lack of infrastructure that make translational accuracy harder to achieve ...

How Many Parasites Species a Frog Might Have? Determinants of Parasite Diversity in South American Anurans

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
There is an increasing interest in unveiling the dynamics of parasite infection. Understanding the interaction patterns, and determinants of host-parasite association contributes to filling knowledge gaps in both community and disease ecology.

Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Glyphosate (Roundup® Active) to Embryos of Colombian Anurans

open access: yesActa Biológica Colombiana, 2013
Glyphosate is an herbicide widely used in agriculture, which may affect non-target species. The aim of this study was to determine the lethal (Median lethal concentration - LC50) and sublethal effects (changes on body size and development) of glyphosate (

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 ...

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Differences in soundscapes of silvopastoral systems and traditional paddocks of the piedmont plain, Meta, Colombia

open access: yesBiota Colombiana, 2021
We recorded the soundscape at four cattle ranches at the foothills of the Meta department, Colombia. We used eight acoustic recorders, four in silvopastoral systems and four in traditional cattle systems.

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 ...
