Dietary assessment of five species of anuran tadpoles from northern Odisha, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018
Anuran tadpoles are gregarious predators capable of differentiating food items among diverse types of prey via varied feeding and oral structures.  Tadpoles were collected from different study sites in three districts of northern Odisha during three ...

Rapid decreases in relative testes mass among monogamous birds but not in other vertebrates [PDF]

, 2019
Larger testes produce more sperm and therefore improve reproductive success in the face of sperm competition. Adaptation to social mating systems with relatively high and low sperm competition are therefore likely to have driven changes in relative ...

Interplay of Genotypic and Thermal Effects on Sex Determination Shapes Climatic Distribution in Herpetofauna

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Sex is a fundamental trait of many organisms, and sex‐determination systems are diverse across the tree of life. Environmental temperature can influence sexual development not only in temperature‐dependent sex‐determination systems, but also in species with genotypic sex determination (GSD). Temperature‐induced sex reversal, resulting from

Machine learning models accurately predict clades of proteocephalidean tapeworms (Onchoproteocephalidea) based on host and biogeographical data

Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 264-282, June 2025.
Abstract Proteocephalids are a cosmopolitan and diverse group of tapeworms (Cestoda) that have colonized vertebrate hosts in freshwater and terrestrial environments. Despite the ubiquity of the group, key macroevolutionary processes that have driven the group's evolution have yet to be identified.

The Origin and Evolution of Chromosomal Reciprocal Translocation in Quasipaa boulengeri (Anura, Dicroglossidae)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Chromosomal rearrangements have long fascinated evolutionary biologists for being widely implicated in causing genetic differentiation. Suppressed recombination has been demonstrated in various species with inversion; however, there is controversy over ...

Suction Feeding in Dendropsophus cerradensis Tadpoles: New Behavioral Observations and Morphological Traits in a Member of the D. microcephalus Group (Anura, Hylidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 5, May 2025.
The tadpole of Dendropsophus cerradensis exhibits an oral tube completely covered by external folds. The feeding behavior is characterized by an oral tube that protrudes exclusively during predation. This macrophagy feeding is associated with a buccopharyngeal cavity reduced in features, robust mandibular and hyoid musculature, as well as a modified ...
