Small Non-coding RNA Expression and Vertebrate Anoxia Tolerance
Background: Extreme anoxia tolerance requires a metabolic depression whose modulation could involve small non-coding RNAs (small ncRNAs), which are specific, rapid, and reversible regulators of gene expression.

A physiological measure of shifting connections in the Rana pipiens retinotectal system [PDF]
The retinotectal connections of developing Rana tadpoles and froglets have been studied using light-pipe techniques to directly assay the pattern of the projection from the retina to the tectum.

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)

Effects of Pesticide Mixtures on Host-Pathogen Dynamics of the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus.
Anthropogenic and natural stressors often interact to affect organisms. Amphibian populations are undergoing unprecedented declines and extinctions with pesticides and emerging infectious diseases implicated as causal factors.

Waving Through Ontogeny: The Larval Chondrocranial Development of Staurois parvus
The vertebrate skull is a complex structure with diverse evolutionary and developmental patterns. Anuran chondrocranial development has been shown to deviate from generalized vertebrate trends, highlighting its evolutionary flexibility. This study investigates the chondrocranial development of Staurois parvus, a ranid frog, to provide insights into ...

We demonstrated that Anguilla japonica eDNA concentration was allometrically scaled with their body size in both the laboratory and riverine environments. Integrating body size allometry has the potential to improve population abundance estimates in the field, whereas further clarification is required for understanding eDNA production mechanisms ...

SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON RANAVIRUSES:: A NORTH AMERICAN HERPETOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE [PDF]
Ranaviruses are large double stranded DNA viruses of poikilothermic vertebrates including amphibians, reptiles and fish. In North America, ranaviral disease and ranavirus-related die-off events have been documented in all three classes.

The colour of amphibian skin and eyes is the result of light interacting with multiple chromatophores (xanthophores, iridophores and melanophores), leading to challenges when trying to identify which of these cells are involved in colour abnormalities.

Shooting Mechanisms in Nature: A Systematic Review.
BackgroundIn nature, shooting mechanisms are used for a variety of purposes, including prey capture, defense, and reproduction. This review offers insight into the working principles of shooting mechanisms in fungi, plants, and animals in the light of ...
