Anuran swingers: misdirected mating attempts occurred early during anuran diversification
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023 Abstract Promiscuity, explosive breeding and male-biased operational sex-ratios can affect the strength of male selectivity and may play major roles in the expression of misdirected matings (with conspecific males, other species, corpses or objects) in anuran amphibians.

Brain regeneration in anuran amphibians [PDF]
Development, Growth & Differentiation, 2007 Urodele amphibians are highly regenerative animals. After partial removal of the brain in urodeles, ependymal cells around the wound surface proliferate, differentiate into neurons and glias and finally regenerate the lost tissue. In contrast to urodeles, this type of brain regeneration is restricted only to the larval stages in anuran amphibians ...

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 ...

Post-metamorphic ontogenetic changes in head size and shape of the pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae, Ranidae) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2018 Post-metamorphic ontogenetic variations of head size and shape were investigated in the pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae, Ranidae). We showed that allometry is an important aspect of the post-metamorphic ontogeny of the pool frog as most of the differences

Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Anurans employ a wide variety of anti-predator mechanisms to defend themselves. In casque-headed hylids, defence is thought to be a complex combination of several anti-predator mechanisms. However, the defence traits of only a few species are known; some

Composition of the Anuran Community in a Forest Management Area in Southeastern Amazonia
Land, 2023 Forest management strategies often compromised the patterns and processes of the naturally dynamic forest ecosystems. As species occurrence and diversity are directly associated with ecological and environment factors, this study evaluated the effect of ...

Developmental changes and novelties in ceratophryid frogs [PDF]
, 2016 The Neotropical frog genera Ceratophrys, Chacophrys and Lepidobatrachus form the monophyletic family Ceratophryidae. Although in- and out-group relationships are not fully resolved, the monophyly of the three genera is well supported by both ...
