The ultrastructure of the spermatozoa of Epipedobates flavopictus (Amphibia, Anura, Dendrobatidae), with comments on its evolutionary significance [PDF]
We describe, for the first time, the spermatozoon ultrastructure of a dendrobatid frog, Epipedobates flavopictus. Mature spermatozoa of E. flavopictus are filiform, with a moderately curved head and a proportionally short tail. The acrosomal vesicle is a

An extinct vertebrate preserved by its living hybridogenetic descendant. [PDF]
Hybridogenesis is a special mode of hybrid reproduction where one parental genome is eliminated and the other is transmitted clonally. We propose that this mechanism can perpetuate the genome of extinct species, based on new genetic data from Pelophylax ...

Phylogenetic analyses reveal unexpected patterns in the evolution of reproductive modes in frogs [PDF]
Understanding phenotypic diversity requires not only identification of selective factors that favor origins of derived states, but also factors that favor retention of primitive states.

Digital dissection of the model organism Xenopus laevis using contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]
The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is one of the most widely used model organisms in biological research. However, the most recent anatomical description of X. laevis was produced nearly a century ago.

Molecular Characterization of Thyroid Hormone Receptors (TRs) and their Responsiveness to T3 in Microhyla fissipes [PDF]
To explore and enrich the molecular mechanisms of thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) in the metamorphosis of amphibians, the cDNA sequences of TR alpha and TR beta in Microhyla fissipes were cloned and characterized.

Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...
