Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAdults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

Seasonal Analysis of the Male Reproductive Tract and Germ Cell Proliferation in Leptodactylus podicipinus (Anura). [PDF]
J MorpholBox 1: Anuran reproductive morphology and dynamics are complex and diverse. Box 2: It is essential to comprehend reproductive morphology in a broad sense and simultaneously at different organizational levels. Box 3: The study characterizes the components of the male reproductive tract and assess testicular cell proliferation throughout the reproductive

Cloning, characterization, and evolutionary patterns of KCNQ4 genes in anurans. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we cloned and obtained the coding regions of a high‐frequency hearing‐related gene (KCNQ4) from 11 representative anuran species and determined the evolutionary patterns of KCNQ4 in anurans. The highly conservation and functional importance of the KCNQ4 genes in anurans were determined and the KCNQ4 genes were under different ...
