Commentary: The missing sabertooth baculum—At what point might the absence of evidence reasonably be considered evidence of absence?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3053-3062, November 2025.
Abstract Most carnivorans and all modern felids have ossified bacula; however, no machairodont baculum has ever been identified. This is true despite the many fairly complete skeletons found around the world of several sabertooth taxa. Although the bacula of modern felids are much smaller than those of canoids (even the least weasel's baculum is longer

Glomerular permeability in the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana. [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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.

The Metamorphosis of Amphibian Toxicogenomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Amphibians are important vertebrates in toxicology often representing both aquatic and terrestrial forms within the life history of the same species. Of the thousands of species, only two have substantial genomics resources: the recently published genome

Crosstalk between thyroid hormones and the central corticotropin‐releasing factor system in Atlantic salmon

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2025.
The corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) system plays a key role in centrally regulating thyroid hormone (TH) synthesis in non‐mammalian vertebrates, but interactions between THs and the CRF system remain poorly understood in fish. Here, we report that THs directly affect transcription of several CRF system components across different hypophysiotropic ...

A Multiplex Real‐Time PCR for Qualitative Detection of Mutton, Pork, Chicken, and Duck in Processed Meat Products

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study aimed to develop a multiplex real‐time PCR method for the qualitative detection of pork, chicken, and duck adulteration in mutton products. The method exhibited high specificity, accuracy, and sensitivity through method validation. To evaluate its applicability, we analyzed 35 commercial processed meat products, and the results confirmed the

AMPHIBIAN RESPONSE TO A LARGE-SCALE HABITAT RESTORATION IN THE PRAIRIE POTHOLE REGION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Over the next half-century, scientists anticipate that nearly one third of the currently recognized 7,450 amphibian species will become extinct. Many organizations have responded to the challenge of conserving amphibian biodiversity, some indirectly ...

Non‐Native Species in Aquaculture: Burgeoning Production and Environmental Sustainability Risks

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Rising global food demands and technological advancements have led to unprecedented growth in the aquaculture industry. This rapid expansion has facilitated the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. While farming non‐native species boosts global food supply, it also poses environmental and socio‐economic risks when escapees ...

An Analysis of pH Tolerance and Substrate Preference of Isolated Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria from Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana

open access: yes, 1993
1. The effects of varying pH and substrate on isolated skeletal muscle mitochondria from Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana were investigated. 2. For both species, V02 max significantly decreased at all pH\u3c7.3 (P \u3c 0.05), while maximum values were ...
