Amphibian Intestine Allometry. [PDF]
J MorpholTotal intestine length scales hyper‐allometrically, that is, at an exponent > 0.33, with body mass across vertebrates, including amphibians. ABSTRACT Across four large vertebrate groups—fish, reptiles, birds and mammals— intestine length has been shown to scale hyper‐allometrically with body mass (BM), at an exponent higher than the geometric ...

Zygote, 2002 In this work we carried out an ultrastructural analysis of the cell interface between oocyte and follicle cells during the oogenesis of the amphibian Ceratophrys cranwelli, which revealed a complex cell-cell interaction. In the early previtellogenic follicles, the plasma membrane of the follicle cells lies in close contact with the plasma membrane of ...

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2001 Las larvas carnívoras de Ceratophrys cranwelli presentan un tubo digestivo más corto que la mayoría de las larvas de anuros, tiene 6 veces la longitud del cuerpo del renacuajo y se caracteriza también por tener un estómago larval. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo el determinar el grado de transformaciones en la cavidad bucofaríngea y tubo ...

Morphology and feeding in tadpoles of Ceratophrys cranwelli (Anura: Leptodactylidae)
Acta Zoologica, 2005 AbstractThis paper provides data on the skeleton, musculature, buccal apparatus, buccopharyngeal cavity and diet of Ceratophrys cranwelli tadpoles, and attempts to contribute to the knowledge of relations between morphology and ecology in anuran larvae.

Underwater sound emission as part of an antipredator mechanism in
Acta Zoologica, 2013 AbstractWe report the emission of underwater sounds in the tadpoles of a second member of the family Ceratophryidae, Ceratophrys cranwelli. These tadpoles produce a short metallic‐like sound, which consists of short trains of pulses at Gosner stages 25, 28, and 37.

Motivations behind wild animal consumption in social media in Mexico: A case study
People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 676-686, April 2024.Abstract Wildlife trade is a worldwide threat to biodiversity. It is a complex problem, and to deal with it, one must analyse its constituting factors, some of which are specific to certain geographic areas. Although Mexican laws have prohibited selling wild products, Mexico is still both a source and consumer of exotic wildlife; however, there is ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2024.We performed a systematic review on the available literature on in situ studies of neotropical tadpole diets focusing on diet composition and its sources of variation. Such studies approached in just a few instances the effects of seasonality, developmental stage and food selectivity on diet composition, but the available data indicate none of these ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2024.Resumo Os girinos são componentes importantes de muitas teias alimentares aquáticas, pois influenciam as populações em outros níveis tróficos e, consequentemente, a transferência de energia entre os ecossistemas aquáticos e terrestres. O que os girinos consomem é um fator chave para suas funções ecológicas. As assembleias de anuros neotropicais incluem
