Do Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles acclimatise to sub-lethal copper?

International Journal of Environment and Health, 2010
The aim of this work was to study the acute effects of short-term exposure (96 hours) to sub-lethal concentrations of copper (2 and 3 mg L−1) on ecotoxicological stress biomarkers in the aquatic stages of Lithobates catesbeianus (syn. Rana catesbeiana) larvae. To this end, the effects of copper on brain acetylcholinesterase, liver and gill catalase and

Toxicity of Four Common Environmental Chemicals Across Caenorhabditis elegans Life Stages Supporting the One Health Concept

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pesticides and pharmaceuticals are among the most common chemical groups in waterbodies and soils, and their universal distribution raises concerns about potential adverse effects on nontarget organisms and humans. Reproductive output disruption is of particular concern, as it transposes effects from the individual to the next generations at ...

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) invasion in California

, 2020
Invasive species have far-reaching ecological and economic impacts. The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has spread globally through anthropogenic activity and has been named one of the world's worst invasive species. Bullfrogs have especially impacted native amphibians in California through predation, competition, and disease. Bullfrogs are
