CHORUSING PATTERNS OF A DIVERSE ANURAN COMMUNITY, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SOUTHERN CRAWFISH FROGS (LITHOBATES AREOLATUS AREOLATUS) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Wildlife surveys have a critical role in conservation efforts and the collection of life history data. For anuran amphibians these surveys often focus on calling males.

Delineating the anuran axial skeleton

open access: yesThe International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2021
The axial skeleton of the anurans has undergone an evolutionary reduction of its bone elements. This structural plan is strongly preserved throughout the order and would have emerged as a highly specialized anatomical adaptation to its locomotor jumping pattern.

Activity Level-Predation Risk Tradeoff in a Tadpole Guild: Implications for Community Organization Along the Hydroperiod Gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Increasing activity levels permit greater food intake for use towards growth and reproduction, consequently increasing predation risk via increased detection.

Can predators stabilize host–parasite interactions? Changes in aquatic predator identity alter amphibian responses and parasite abundance across life stages

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
The role of parasites can change depending on the food web community. Predators, for instance, can amplify or dilute parasite effects on their hosts.

Ecogeographical Adaptation Revisited: Morphological Variations in the Plateau Brown Frog along an Elevation Gradient on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Several anurans have broad elevational and latitudinal distribution ranges; distinct species and populations may face various environmental and selection stresses.

Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Brain regeneration in anuran amphibians [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, 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 ...

Parasitic infections of anurans from a freshwater creek community in Delta State, Niger Delta of Nigeria

open access: yesHelminthologia, 2017
The parasitic infections of 125 anurans belonging to 13 taxa from Ase community in Delta State in the Niger Delta of Nigeria was investigated. An overall prevalence of 77.6% was recorded and the 32 parasites recovered included one pentastomid, four ...
