Outbreeding depression in the common frog, Rana temporaria
Conservation Genetics, 2005 Theory suggests that parental relatedness is a continuous variable with a fitness optimum that we heretoforth will refer to as ‘optimal outbreeding’. In the present paper, we test this proposition from a conservation (translocation) perspective. Amphibians are facing a global decline and many amphibian populations are today small and threatened by ...

Amphibians and Reptiles of United States Department of Defense Installations [PDF]
, 2018 The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) occupies approximately 10.1 million ha of land within the U.S. spanning most ecosystems contained therein. To date, no comprehensive agency-wide inventory of amphibian and reptile species has been compiled.

Stochastic orders and the frog model
, 2017 The frog model starts with one active particle at the root of a graph and some number of dormant particles at all nonroot vertices. Active particles follow independent random paths, waking all inactive particles they encounter. We prove that certain frog

Abnormality in the Urostyle of the Common Frog [PDF]
Nature, 1887 ATTENTION has recently been drawn to abnormalities in the vertebral column of Rana. (See Bourne, Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science, January 1884; Howes, Anatomischer Anzeiger, 1 Jahrgang, 1886, Nr. 11; Lloyd Morgan, NATURE, November 1886.) One form of such abnormality is the addition of a supernumerary (tenth) vertebra.

Road Impacts on Abundance, Call Traits, and Body Size of Rainforest Frogs in Northeast Australia
Ecology and Society, 2010 Frogs are potentially sensitive indicators of road impacts, with studies indicating particular susceptibility to road mortality. Calling, i.e., breeding, behavior could also be affected by traffic noise.

Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.
