Cool‐season environmental water delivery increases extinction risk for chytrid‐infected amphibians

Conservation Science and Practice
Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the aquatic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has caused large declines in amphibian populations globally.

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Mosaic activation of the zebrafish hsp70l heat shock promoter: Implications for interpreting transgenes

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The promoters and enhancers of heat shock genes, such as the 1.5‐kb promoter of the zebrafish hsp70l gene, are valuable tools for temporal activation of transgenes. It has been widely purported that heat shock treatments result in ubiquitous expression of hsp70l‐driven transgenes.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

UV radiation‐induced peptides in frog skin confer protection against cutaneous photodamage through suppressing MAPK signaling

MedComm
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (UV) has become a major dermatological problem since the intensity of ultraviolet radiation is increasing. As an adaption to outside environments, amphibians gained an excellent peptide‐based defense system in their ...

Occurrence patterns and trends of frogs in coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes call for further habitat restoration

Ecosphere
Countless wetlands have been lost and degraded globally, making amphibians the most threatened vertebrate class. However, despite facing extensive threats and stressors, coastal wetlands of the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America (lakes Superior ...

Comparing Transcriptomic Responses to Chemicals Across Six Species Using the EcoToxChip RNASeq Database

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...
