Pool choice in a vertical landscape: Tadpole‐rearing site flexibility in phytotelm‐breeding frogs
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many species of Neotropical frogs have evolved to deposit their tadpoles in small water bodies inside plant structures called phytotelmata. These pools are small enough to exclude large predators but have limited nutrients and high desiccation risk. Here,

Ice walking common frog (Rana temporaria) (Ranidae, Amphibia) [PDF]
Current Studies in Herpetology, 2021 Arecord of Rana temporaria on the ice cover of the Gulf of Finland is described. Frog slowly moved on the ice surface with speed around 0.03 m/s. Air temperature near ice surface was +3.5°C, and the frog body temperature was +4°C. In the Saint Petersburg region, common frogs can hibernate in the coastal waters of Baltic Sea with salinity of 0 – 5.8‰.

FROG: A PORTABLE UNDERWATER MOBILE MAPPING SYSTEM [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 Browsing the scientific and professional literature it appears that the concept of mobile mapping underwater is not as common as in ‘terrestrial’ applications.

The kindergarten-path effect revisited: children’s use of context in processing structural ambiguities [PDF]
, 2007 Research with adults has shown that ambiguous spoken sentences are resolved efficiently, exploiting multiple cues—including referential context—to select the intended meaning.

Ultrafast-pulse diagnostic using third-order frequency-resolved optical gating in organic films [PDF]
, 2004 We report on the diagnostic of ultrafast pulses by frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) based on strong third-harmonic generation (THG) in amorphous organic thin films. The high THG conversion efficiency of these films allows for the characterization

A neonate with ‘amphibian heart’: A rare combination of complex congenital heart diseases
IHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2021 Persistent truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital malformation of the heart. It arises from the ventricular cavity through a common ventriculo-arterial junction and is usually associated with doubly committed ventricular septal defect.

Analysis of ICP variants for the registration of partially overlapping time-of-flight range images [PDF]
, 2010 The iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is one of the most commonly used methods for registering partially overlapping range images. Nevertheless, this algorithm was not originally designed for this task, and many variants have been proposed in an ...

Common pulse retrieval algorithm: a fast and universal method to retrieve ultrashort pulses
, 2018 We present a common pulse retrieval algorithm (COPRA) that can be used for a broad category of ultrashort laser pulse measurement schemes including frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), interferometric FROG, dispersion scan, time domain ptychography,

Lethal grip for an endangered endemic frog: The freshwater crab Potamon karpathos (Decapoda, Potamidae) preys on Karpathos water frog Pelophylax cerigensis (Anura, Ranidae) [PDF]
HerpetozoaInvertebrate predation on amphibians is widespread, although unreported in Europe. Here, we present documented predation of the Karpathos water frog (Pelophylax cerigensis) by the crab Potamon karpathos.
