ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.

Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for innate immunity against pathogens, yet its function in amphibians remains poorly understood. Here, we identified and cloned two novel isoforms of NLRP3 from the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana), designated AcNLRP3 X1 and AcNLRP3 X2, with open reading frames of 2397 bp (798 aa) and 2874 bp (957 aa)

ABSTRACT In our rapidly changing world, evolution is likely to play an important role in facilitating the resilience of wildlife populations. The Sierra Nevada yellow‐legged frog (Rana sierrae) provides a rare example of recovery following severe declines caused by the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis).

Anthropogenic change has facilitated the spread of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, where two Bd lineages (Bd‐GPL and Bd‐Brazil) co‐occur. We successfully genotyped 252 Bd‐positive samples from a diverse amphibian assemblage spanning aquatic and terrestrial habitats and found that Bd lineage ...
