Egg Clutch Survival under Prolonged Paternal Care in a Glass Frog, Hyalinobatrachium talamancae
Previous studies have reported egg attendance as the most common protective behavior among the Neotropical frog family Centrolenidae. However, research on the effect of parental care and other factors thought to affect offspring survival is still missing for a great number of species.

When the going gets rough – studying the effect of surface roughness on the adhesive abilities of tree frogs [PDF]
Tree frogs need to adhere to surfaces of various roughnesses in their natural habitats; these include bark, leaves and rocks. Rough surfaces can alter the effectiveness of their toe pads, due to factors such as a change of real contact area and abrasion

A new family of diverse skin peptides from the microhylid frog genus phrynomantis [PDF]
A wide range of frogs produce skin poisons composed of bioactive peptides for defence against pathogens, parasites and predators. While several frog families have been thoroughly screened for skin-secreted peptides, others, like the Microhylidae, have ...

Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.

Characterisation of nine new polymorphic microsatellite loci in the reticulated glass frog Hyalinobatrachium valerioi (Centrolenidae) [PDF]
Here we document the development of thirteen novel microsatellite markers for the reticulated glass frog Hyalinobatrachium valerioi (Centrolenidae). Nine of those markers were polymorphic and contained between 4 and 34 alleles per locus (mean = 20.3) in 138 individuals (91 males, 47 females ...

Make like a glass frog: In support of increased transparency in herpetology
Across many scientific disciplines, direct replication efforts and meta-analyses have fuelled concerns on the replicability of findings. Ecology and evolution are similarly affected. Investigations into the causes of this lack of replicability have implicated a suite of research practices linked to incentives in the current publishing system.
