Ranid Herpesvirus 3 Infection in Common Frog Rana temporaria Tadpoles [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Ranid herpesvirus 3 (RaHV3) is a recently discovered virus associated with skin disease in frogs. We detected RaHV3 DNA in free-ranging common frog (Rana temporaria) tadpoles, consistent with premetamorphic infection.

The genome sequence of the common frog, Rana temporaria Linnaeus 1758 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2021 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Rana temporaria (the common frog; Chordata; Amphibia; Anura; Ranidae). The genome sequence is 4.11 gigabases in span.

Comparative High-Density Linkage Mapping Reveals Conserved Genome Structure but Variation in Levels of Heterochiasmy and Location of Recombination Cold Spots in the Common Frog [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 By combining 7077 SNPs and 61 microsatellites, we present the first linkage map for some of the early diverged lineages of the common frog, Rana temporaria, and the densest linkage map to date for this species.

Amphibian population genetics in agricultural landscapes: does viniculture drive the population structuring of the European common frog (Rana temporaria)? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Amphibian populations have been declining globally over the past decades. The intensification of agriculture, habitat loss, fragmentation of populations and toxic substances in the environment are considered as driving factors for this decline.

Giants, dwarfs and the environment - metamorphic trait plasticity in the common frog. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In order to understand adaptation processes and population dynamics, it is central to know how environmental parameters influence performance of organisms within populations, including their phenotypes.

A novel tamanavirus (Flaviviridae) of the European common frog (Rana temporaria) from the UK. [PDF]
J Gen Virol, 2023 Flavivirids are small, enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses from the family Flaviviridae with genomes of ~9–13 kb. Metatranscriptomic analyses of metazoan organisms have revealed a diversity of flavivirus-like or flavivirid viral sequences in fish and ...

Shifts in sensitivity of amphibian metamorphosis to endocrine disruption: the common frog (Rana temporaria) as a case study. [PDF]
Conserv Physiol, 2020 We investigated how altered thyroid hormone levels affected the bioenergetics of growth and development in Rana temporaria. Our results demonstrate that both morphological and physiological traits of the European common frog are strongly impacted by ...

Parental effects influence life history traits and covary with an environmental cline in common frog populations. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2020 Across latitudinal clines, the juvenile developmental rates of ectotherms often covary with the length of the growing season, due to life-history trade-offs imposed by the time-constrained environments.

A reciprocal translocation radically reshapes sex-linked inheritance in the common frog. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2019 X and Y chromosomes can diverge when rearrangements block recombination between them. Here we present the first genomic view of a reciprocal translocation that causes two physically unconnected pairs of chromosomes to be coinherited as sex chromosomes ...

Tissue Specificity and Dynamics of Sex-Biased Gene Expression in a Common Frog Population with Differentiated, Yet Homomorphic, Sex Chromosomes. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2018 Sex-biased genes are central to the study of sexual selection, sexual antagonism, and sex chromosome evolution. We describe a comprehensive de novo assembled transcriptome in the common frog Rana temporaria based on five developmental stages and three ...
