Antimicrobial peptides in frog poisons constitute a molecular toxin delivery system against predators [PDF]
, 2017 Animals using toxic peptides and proteins for predation or defense typically depend on specialized morphological structures, like fangs, spines, or a stinger, for effective intoxication.

Developmental changes and novelties in ceratophryid frogs [PDF]
, 2016 The Neotropical frog genera Ceratophrys, Chacophrys and Lepidobatrachus form the monophyletic family Ceratophryidae. Although in- and out-group relationships are not fully resolved, the monophyly of the three genera is well supported by both ...

The Anatomical Record, 2007 AbstractIntercalary elements are additional skeletal structures of digits of many anuran amphibians. Twelve terminal clades in the neobatrachian lineage of frogs have intercalary elements revealing it is a homoplastic character with five to seven gains and two to four losses along a consensus phylogeny of the Neobatrachia.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 20, Page 11467-11487, October 2020., 2020 The relationships between locomotor behavior, shape, and function of the anuran pectoral girdle were investigated. Adaptation to burrowing behavior was observed and could be explained by biomechanical requirements. Other locomotor groups showed minor or no shape differences; large shape diversity within those groups indicated many‐to‐one mapping of ...

Three New Ranidae Mitogenomes and the Evolution of Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangements among Ranidae Species [PDF]
, 2018 Various types of gene rearrangements have been discovered in the mitogenoes of the frog family Ranidae. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of three Rana frogs.

South American Journal of Herpetology, 2007 The present paper provides diagnostic characters from external morphology and osteology that reinforce the specific recognition of the frog Odontophrynus barrioi, describes its advertisement and encounter calls, and extends its distribution range. Odontophrynus barrioi is distinguished from all other species of the genus principally by the large size ...

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The mitochondrial (mt) genome of the bushveld rain frog (Breviceps adspersus, Brevicipitidae, Afrobatrachia) is the largest (28.8 kbp) among the vertebrates investigated to date. The major cause of genome size enlargement in this species is the duplication of multiple genomic regions.

Independent Evolution of Suction Feeding in Neobatrachia: Feeding Mechanisms in Two Species of Telmatobius (Anura:Telmatobiidae) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2015 ABSTRACTThe most common feeding mechanism among aquatic vertebrates as fishes, turtles, and salamanders is inertial suction. However, among the more than 6,400 species of anurans, suction feeding occurs only in pipids. Pipidae is a small basal lineage relative to Neobatrachia, an enormous clade that contains about 96% of extant anurans.
