Parallel Morphological and Functional Development in the Xenopus Retinotectal System
ABSTRACT The retinotectal projection in Xenopus laevis is topographically organized. During the early development of the Xenopus visual system, the optic tectum increases considerably in volume, and retinotectal axons and dendrites undergo extensive activity‐dependent remodeling.

The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

The conjugation states of bile acids (BAs) have been demonstrated to affect BAs regulatory functions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of conjugated or non‐conjugated BA additions on growth performance, liver health, and BA metabolism in pearl gentian grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus♂ × E.

Removing invasive stream macrofauna shifts nontarget invertebrate mesofauna through facilitation
Abstract Positive interactions among non‐native species can drive invasional meltdowns to the detriment of native biota. Here, we assessed whether targeted control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) can benefit native species by eliminating synergies among invaders.

ABSTRACT Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors (PPAR) are master transcriptional regulators that maintain metabolic homeostasis in vertebrates. Amphibians are often exposed to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) that could dysregulate lipid metabolism.
