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

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 322-338, February 2026.Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Oviduct topography and irrigation in the bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus (Shaw, 1802)
Biotemas, 2014 The bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) is a species native to North America. It can reach about 20 cm in length and a body weight of 500 g. We used 30 adult frogs of the species Lithobates catesbeianus laying eggs to observe the oviduct. The animals were

Non-native Amphibian Pet Trade via Internet in Poland [PDF]
, 2018 Overharvesting and trade in amphibian populations is one of the causes of their global decline. Online trade not only encourages the exploitation of an increasing number of rare and endangered amphibian species from all over the world but also ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Many amphibians are experiencing declines, which are exacerbated for populations near range edges. To inform conservation strategies, we sampled sites of Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi) at the northern periphery of their range to determine if modern declines are associated with genetic factors, delineate management units, and ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

Characterisation of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in Japanese Ranidae frogs. [PDF]
, 2016 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a key component of adaptive immunity in all jawed vertebrates, and understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped these genes in amphibians, one of the earliest terrestrial tetrapods, is important.
