Evolution of air‐borne vocalization: Insights from neural studies in the archeobatrachian species Bombina orientalis

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 3, March 2024.
After stimulation of the statoacoustic nerve (N. VIII) or of vocalization‐relevant forebrain structures of the Chinese fire‐bellied toad Bombina orientalis, we discovered increased durations of activation of motor nerve root recordings of isolated male brains in comparison to female brains. These increased durations in male brains can be interpreted as

Genetics, Morphology, Advertisement Calls, and Historical Records Distinguish Six New Polyploid Species of African Clawed Frog (Xenopus, Pipidae) from West and Central Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2015
African clawed frogs, genus Xenopus, are extraordinary among vertebrates in the diversity of their polyploid species and the high number of independent polyploidization events that occurred during their diversification.

Anthropogenic effects of habitat modification on anuran species diversity in a swamp forest area, Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Anuran species are some of the good environmental indicators of habitat quality and condition in ecosystems. This is due to their amphibious life modes and sensitivity to environmental change caused by rapid expansion of agricultural activities, advancement of forest destruction, climate change and emerging infectious diseases.

Cytokine components and mucosal immunity in the oviduct of Xenopus laevis (amphibia, pipidae)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2011
Most studies on the mucosal immunity in female reproductive tissues have been performed in mammals. In all species, apart from their reproductive strategies, immunity in the genital mucosa is required to defend the host against luminal pathogens. In this study we investigated the role of the innate immunity of the oviductal mucosa of Xenopus laevis, an
