The Evolution of Mating Strategies in Bullfrogs, Rana catesbeiana [PDF]
Evolution, 1978 Mating system theory is undergoing considerable revision and elaboration (for example: Fisher, 1958; Brown, 1964; Williams, 1966, 1975; Orians, 1969; Cody, 1971; Trivers, 1972; Alexander, 1975; Emlen and Oring, 1977; Alexander and Borgia, 1978). These theories are based upon Darwin's (1871) concept of how natural selection acts within and between the ...

Influence of Nitrate and Nitrite on Thyroid Hormone Responsive and Stress-Associated Gene Expression in Cultured Rana catesbeiana Tadpole Tail Fin Tissue. [PDF]
Front Genet, 2012 Nitrate and nitrite are common aqueous pollutants that are known to disrupt the thyroid axis. In amphibians, thyroid hormone (TH)-dependent metamorphosis is affected, although whether the effect is acceleration or deceleration of this developmental ...

Glomerular permeability in the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana. [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1978 Filtration studies suggest similar size pores in the glomerular filters of mammals and amphibians. However, the glomerular wall in the bullfrog exhibits several structural features not found in mammals. The subendothelial space of the basement membrane is often greatly enlarged and infiltrated by cellular elements.
