Physiological Control of Water Exchange in Anurans [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
1. Research on water exchange in frogs has historically assumed that blood osmotic potential drives water exchange between a frog and its environment, but here we show that the “seat patch” (the primary site of water exchange in many anurans), or other sites of cutaneous water uptake, act as an anatomic “compartment” with a water potential controlled ...

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.

Trade in wild anurans vectors the urodelan pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into Europe

open access: yes, 2017
Pathogen pollution has caused dramatic losses of amphibian diversity on a global scale. The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been hypothesized to have its origin in Asian urodelan populations, from which it may

Niche partitioning and the role of intraspecific niche variation in structuring a guild of generalist anurans

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
Intra-population niche differences in generalist foragers have captured the interest of ecologists, because such individuality can have important ecological and evolutionary implications. Few researchers have investigated how these differences affect the

An Introduction to the Biogeography of South American Anurans

open access: yes, 2019
South America has undergone complex environmental and geological events that ultimately made it the most climatically and biodiverse continent on the planet, including anuran amphibians.

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 ...
