The oldest Jurassic anurans from continental Africa (Tendaguru Hill, Tanzania)

Anurans are a diverse clade of tetrapods with a rich evolutionary history beginning ~250 Ma. Most time-calibrated molecular phylogenetic analyses place the early diversification of anurans during the Jurassic, with the emergence of several major modern ...

Behavioural defences of anurans: an overview

, 2011
Among vertebrates, defensive behaviours have been reviewed for fishes, salamanders, reptiles, birds, and mammals, but not yet for anuran amphibians. Although several defensive strategies have been reported for anurans, with a few exceptions these reports

Gymnema sylvestre: Bioactive constituents, health benefits, and emerging applications in nutraceuticals and functional foods

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R.Br. ex‐Schult., commonly known as “gurmar” or “sugar destroyer,” belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is traditionally used in Ayurveda for diabetes management. This review synthesizes ethnomedicinal evidence with contemporary pharmacological studies, to evaluate the therapeutic properties and mechanistic actions ...

Seasonality influences skin bacterial community structure and anti-Bd function in two anuran species

Frontiers in Microbiology
Microorganisms on amphibian skin reduce disease susceptibility and play an important role in pathogen defense. We hypothesized that anuran skin bacterial communities would change in response to seasonal variation and host species. To test this hypothesis,

Viability analysis and the importance of fine‐scale variables influencing roadkills of a toad population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale population variables better explain roadkill patterns in natterjack toads (Epidalea calamita) than habitat proxies, with mortality driven mainly by local abundance, reduced by roadside embankments, and decreasing as the season advanced. Despite high roadkills, population viability analyses indicate no immediate extinction risk under current ...

Optical Stimulation and Monitoring of the Peripheral Nervous System: Perspectives and Challenges Toward Clinical Translation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.

Attosecond‐Stable Two‐Dimensional Spectroscopy by a Sagnac‐Based Modulating System and a Sub‐4‐fs Continuum Source

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A novel optical platform integrates a Sagnac‐based interferometer with a high‐brightness multiple‐plate continuum source to advance two‐dimensional electronic spectroscopy. The robust system delivers octave‐spanning, 3.7‐femtosecond pulses and achieves intrinsic attosecond‐level phase stability without active feedback.

Continuous Apomorphine Infusion in Multiple System Atrophy Real‐World Insights From a French Nationwide Retrospective Cohort

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) is effective in Parkinson's disease but has not been evaluated in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Objective To assess the 6‐month efficacy and tolerability of CSAI in MSA patients. Methods French multicenter retrospective registry‐based analysis of CSAI use in MSA.

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other
