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.

Diet composition of a burrow-utilising frog, Limnonectes cintalubang Matsui et al., 2014 (Anura: Dicroglossidae), in Sarawak, Malaysia [PDF]

, 2022
To understand the feeding ecology of the unique burrow-utilizing fanged frog Limnonectes cintalubang in Borneo, we analysed its diet composition. Stomach contents were obtained by dissection of preserved specimens, and by forced regurgitation of living ...

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 ...

A de novo case of floating chromosomal polymorphisms by translocation in Quasipaa boulengeri (Anura, Dicroglossidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Very few natural polymorphisms involving interchromosomal reciprocal translocations are known in amphibians even in vertebrates. In this study, thirty three populations, including 471 individuals of the spiny frog Quasipaa boulengeri, were karyotypically

Validation and development of eDNA metabarcoding primers for comprehensive assessment of Chinese amphibians

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 504-519, May 2025.
eDNA metabarcoding, using various primer sets, effectively amplified 83 amphibian species from China, showcasing its potential for biodiversity assessments. However, optimizing amphibian‐specific primers is crucial due to occasional non‐amphibian amplification.
