The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Screening of a long-term sample set reveals two Ranavirus lineages in British herpetofauna.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Reports of severe disease outbreaks in amphibian communities in mainland Europe due to strains of the common midwife toad virus (CMTV)-like clade of Ranavirus are increasing and have created concern due to their considerable population impacts.

Amphibian Contributions to Ecosystem Services [PDF]

, 2014
Ecosystems provide essential services for human society, which include provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services. Amphibians provide provisioning services by serving as a food source for some human societies ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2619-2633, June 2026.
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Constraints of FL Motif on the Targeting and Function of Sodium-Bicarbonate Cotransporter 1 [PDF]

, 2008
A C-terminal dihydrophobic FL motif plays a vital role in the basolateral targeting of sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 1. To further characterize the role of dihydrophobic FL motif, 1). the FL motif in wild type (PFLS) was reversed to LF (PLFS), 2). the

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the hepatic response mechanisms of the Chinese spiny frog (Quasipaa spinosa) to Citrobacter freundii infection

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract To elucidate the pathogen and host response mechanisms underlying mass mortality in Quasipaa spinosa, dominant bacteria were isolated from diseased individuals and identified as Citrobacter freundii by morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization, 16S rRNA sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis.

FROG VIRUS 3-LIKE INFECTIONS IN AQUATIC AMPHIBIAN COMMUNITIES [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008
Frog virus 3 (FV3) and FV3-like viruses, are members of the genus Ranavirus (family Iridoviridae), and they have been associated with infectious diseases that may be contributing to amphibian population declines. We examined the mode of transmission of an FV3-like virus, and potential hosts and reservoirs of the virus in a local amphibian community ...
