A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

The Wonder Years: A Demographic Approach to Revisit the Age‐at‐Size Conundrum in Amphibians
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We combined repeated body size measurements of marked individuals of unknown age throughout their adult life with growth records of individuals marked as postmetamorphic juveniles and recaptured years later as sexually mature adults, focusing on 10 amphibian species in central Spain.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

A multi-criteria approach for nurse scheduling : fuzzy simulated metamorphosis algorithm approach
, 2015 Motivated by the biological metamorphosis process and the need to solve multi-objective optimization problems with conflicting and fuzzy goals and constraints, this paper proposes a simulated metamorphosis algorithm, based on the concepts of biological ...

Nitric oxide synthase and the contribution of nitric oxide to vertebrate motor control
, 2008 I have explored the role of nitric oxide (NO) and the distribution of its synthetic enzyme in neurons, nNOS, in vertebrate motor control. The CNS of Xenopus laevis tadpoles was used primarily in this investigation as a developmental model of neural ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...
