The Effect of Climate Change on Spatio-Temporal Activity in Burrowing Frogs of the Smilisca Group

open access: yesActa Herpetologica
Measuring the potential effects of future climate changes on the spatio-temporal variance of optimal conditions for seasonal species is a key conservation issue.

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

Influence of habitat structure on Pristimantis species (Anura: Craugastoridae) in a bamboo-dominated forest fragment in southwestern Amazonia

open access: yesPhyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2015
Structural and determinate factors for the composition of assemblages of species are diverse. Two theories attempt to explain the pattern of species composition in assemblies using different approaches—i.e., Niche Theory and Neutral Theory.

The effect of trait choice on hybrid species distribution model projections under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly combined with thermal performance data to enhance their transferability and to provide a physiological explanation for the predicted geographic patterns. Yet, while it is widely acknowledged that thermal sensitivities may vary among biological traits, it remains largely unexplored to what extent

Capillary Electrophoresis With Amperometric Detection for Neurotransmitter Analysis: Principles, Electrode Materials, Methodologies, and Applications

open access: yesELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive summary of monoamine neurotransmitter analysis by capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection. Fundamental principles of amperometric detection, electrode positioning strategies, and approaches to high‐voltage decoupling are described, followed by a critical comparison of electrode materials, selection of ...

Egg clutch structure of Rhinella rumbolli (Anura: Bufonidae), a toad from the Yungas of Argentina, with a review of the reproductive diversity in Rhinella [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rhinella rumbolli is a poorly known, medium-sized toad endemic to the Yungas of Argentina. Recent fieldwork allowed observing its peculiar oviposition mode, which is described in this paper.

Optimized Parameter Extraction in Triple Diode Solar PV Models Using Kookaburra‐based Dwarf Mongoose Approach

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Improving photovoltaics (PV) system performance through simulation requires accurate PV models. The nonlinear relationship between current and voltage, coupled with incomplete manufacturer data, presents a significant challenge in parameter estimation.

Comparing Transcriptomic Responses to Chemicals Across Six Species Using the EcoToxChip RNASeq Database

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

Rhinella fernandezae (Anura, Bufonidae) a paratenic host of Centrorhynchus sp. (Acanthocephala, Centrorhynchidae) in Brazil Rhinella fernandezae (Anura, Bufonidae), hospedero paraténico de Centrorhynchus sp. (Acanthocephala, Centrorhynchidae) en Brasil

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2010
Cystacanths of Centrorhynchus sp., were found in the coelomic cavity of anurans Rhinella fernandezae (Gallardo, 1957), collected in the municipality of Imbé, on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.
