Cloning, characterization, and evolutionary patterns of KCNQ4 genes in anurans
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.In this study, we cloned and obtained the coding regions of a high‐frequency hearing‐related gene (KCNQ4) from 11 representative anuran species and determined the evolutionary patterns of KCNQ4 in anurans. The highly conservation and functional importance of the KCNQ4 genes in anurans were determined and the KCNQ4 genes were under different ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 341, Issue 3, Page 230-241, April 1, 2024.Sex determination systems have greatly diversified between amphibians and reptiles. In this review, we discuss the diversity of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles resulted from comparative analyses of chromosome homology of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles reported so far, using the genome of the chicken, which is thought to resemble ...

Identifying inconsistencies in exotic pet regulations that perpetuate trade in risky species
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract Regulatory inconsistencies at different jurisdictional levels have contributed to the global expansion of the exotic pet trade, with resultant increases in the spread of invasive species and pathogens. Researchers have enumerated multiple limitations and environmental risks posed by international and national rules that govern the exotic pet ...

Recombinant expression and purification of the antimicrobial peptide Magainin-2 [PDF]
, 2013 Magainin-2 (MAG2) is a polycationic antimicrobial peptide isolated from the skin of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis. It has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and induces osmotic ...

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

A review on the animal xenodiversity in Sicilian inland waters (Italy) [PDF]
, 2015 This paper reviews the available knowledge about faunal xenodiversity in Sicilian inland waters (Italy). The aim is to provide an updated checklist and bibliography of those non-indigenous species (NIS) which occur in the island, and to identify possible
