Chromosome Banding in Amphibia. XXXII. The Genus Xenopus (Anura, Pipidae) [PDF]
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2015 Mitotic chromosomes of 16 species of the frog genus <i>Xenopus</i> were prepared from kidney and lung cell cultures. In the chromosomes of 7 species, high-resolution replication banding patterns could be induced by treating the cultures with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and deoxythymidine (dT) in succession, and in 6 of these species the BrdU/

Dual processing of sulfated steroids in the olfactory system of an anuran amphibian
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Chemical communication is widespread in amphibians, but if compared to later diverging tetrapods the available functional data is limited. The existing information on the vomeronasal system of anurans is particularly sparse.
