Stereociliary Myosin-1c Receptors Are Sensitive to Calcium Chelation and Absent from Cadherin 23 Mutant Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The identities of some of the constituents of the hair-cell transduction apparatus have been elucidated only recently. The molecular motor myosin-1c (Myo1c) functions in adaptation of the hair-cell response to sustained mechanical stimuli and is ...

Population Responses of Wood Frog (Rana Sylvatica) Tadpoles to Overwintered Bullfrog (Rana Catesbeiana) Tadpoles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A fundamental goal in ecology is to understand how environmental variation influences the distribution of individuals within a population. In this study, we used laboratory experiments to examine the population responses of sympatric Wood Frog (Rana ...

Histocompatibility Genetics of Bullfrog Populations [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1961
Genetic studies of anuran species have been limited for the most part by failure of the F1 generation to reach maturity under laboratory conditions. Thus data on backcross and F2 progenies are not available and the mode of inheritance even of overt traits such as pigment patterns remains problematical (Anderson and Volpe, 1958).

AMPHIBIAN RESPONSE TO A LARGE-SCALE HABITAT RESTORATION IN THE PRAIRIE POTHOLE REGION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Over the next half-century, scientists anticipate that nearly one third of the currently recognized 7,450 amphibian species will become extinct. Many organizations have responded to the challenge of conserving amphibian biodiversity, some indirectly ...

Trophic niche differentiation between invasive and native frog species in urban wetlands of Kunming, China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Non-native species often proliferate and become invasive in urban ecosystems. Knowing the interactions between the overlapping trophic niches of invasive and native species is imperative, and answering this question of how they succeed in these ...
