The tadpole of Pseudis minuta (Anura: Pseudidae), an apparent case of heterochrony [PDF]
Amphibia-Reptilia, 1997 Abstract The external morphology, oral disc, and coloration pattern of the larva of Pseudis minuta are described. Tadpoles are mostly bottom dwellers that have a small, terminal oral disc with a labial tooth row formula 1(1-1)/(1-1)2.

Chondrocranium and cranial muscle morphology in Lysapsus and Pseudis tadpoles (Anura: Hylidae: Hylinae) [PDF]
Acta Zoologica, 2006 AbstractThe chondrocranium and cranial muscles of Lysapsus limellum, Pseudis cardosoi, P. minuta and four subspecies of P. paradoxa (caribensis, occidentalis, paradoxa and platensis) are described. Lysapsus and Pseudis are related to the Hylidae by: (1) vertical processus anterolateralis of the larval crista parotica, and (2) presence of m ...

Antimicrobial Peptides from Amphibian Innate Immune System as Potent Antidiabetic Agents: A Literature Review and Bioinformatics Analysis. [PDF]
J Diabetes Res, 2021 Antimicrobial peptides, as an important member of the innate immune system, have various biological activities in addition to antimicrobial activity. There are some AMPs with antidiabetic activity, especially those isolated from amphibians. These peptides can induce insulin release via different mechanisms based on peptide type.

Mitochondrial Phylogenomics and Genome Evolution in Anura: Insights From Structure and Gene Order Rearrangements. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBy analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Gonadal Development in Larvae of the Paedomorphic Ambystoma mexicanum (Amphibia: Urodela). [PDF]
J MorpholThis research analyzes the gonads of Ambystoma mexicanum larvae of both sexes, revealing significant changes such as the onset of vitellogenesis in females at 9 months of age and oocytes with signs of maturity at 12 months. In males, gonadal maturity occurs earlier, with a notable cephalocaudal and lateromedial testicular regionalization, and ...

Meal or mate: Exploring the evidence of sexual cannibalism among amphibians. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSexual cannibalism is a form of conspecific predation among adults, typically committed by females that consume potential or actual mating partners. We provide an observation of cannibalism involving an adult female green and golden bell frog, Litoria aurea, preying on a conspecific adult male during the species' breeding season.

Selection of antimicrobial frog peptides and temporin-1DRa analogues for treatment of bacterial infections based on their cytotoxicity and differential activity against pathogens. [PDF]
Chem Biol Drug Des, 2020 With the aim of identifying antimicrobial peptides that could be further investigated as topical treatments for human or animal skin infections, we determined the MIC values of 14 naturally occurring amphibian peptides and 12 analogues of temporin‐1DRa against clinically relevant pathogens as well as probiotic lactobacilli.
