Fish Introductions Reshape Antipredator Sensitivity in Rana temporaria Tadpoles Across Alpine Lakes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBiological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, particularly in isolated ecosystems such as alpine lakes. The introduction of non‐native fish into historically fishless systems can profoundly alter predator–prey interactions, potentially ...

Ranid Herpesvirus 3 Infection in Common Frog Rana temporaria Tadpoles [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Ranid herpesvirus 3 (RaHV3) is a recently discovered virus associated with skin disease in frogs. We detected RaHV3 DNA in free-ranging common frog (Rana temporaria) tadpoles, consistent with premetamorphic infection.

The genome sequence of the common frog, Rana temporaria Linnaeus 1758 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2021 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Rana temporaria (the common frog; Chordata; Amphibia; Anura; Ranidae). The genome sequence is 4.11 gigabases in span.

European common frog (Rana temporaria) recolonized Switzerland from multiple glacial refugia in northern Italy via trans‐ and circum‐Alpine routes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The high mountain ranges of Western Europe had a profound effect on the biotic recolonization of Europe from glacial refugia. The Alps present a particularly interesting case because they form an absolute barrier to dispersal for most taxa, obstructing ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of common terrestrial frog (Rana temporaria) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018 In this study, we presented the complete mitochondrial genome of common terrestrial frog (Rana temporaria). The circular genome is 16,061 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes and 1 D-

Phylogeographic Substructuring in the Southernmost Refugium of the European Common Frog Rana temporaria [PDF]
AnimalsRana temporaria is one of the most widespread Palearctic brown frogs. We aimed to clarify distribution pattern of two main genetic clades in the understudied Balkan peninsula by using 16SrRNA and MT-CYTB sequences, already widely applied in analyses of ...

Physiological mechanisms of adaptive developmental plasticity in Rana temporaria island populations [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Adaptive plasticity is essential for many species to cope with environmental heterogeneity. In particular, developmental plasticity allows organisms with complex life cycles to adaptively adjust the timing of ontogenetic switch points. Size at

Receptor-mediated endocytosis of lysozyme in renal proximal tubules of the frog Rana temporaria [PDF]
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2015 The mechanism of protein reabsorption in the kidney of lower vertebrates remains insufficiently investigated in spite of raising interest to the amphibian and fish kidneys as a useful model for physiological and pathophysiological examinations.

Investigating Sexual Characteristics in Two Frog Species Under Exposure to River Water Polluted with Endocrine Disruptors [PDF]
AnimalsEndocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are emerging environmental pollutants that are known to the disrsupt hormonal system of many vertebrates. Amphibians, with their aquatic larval stages and high sensitivity to waterborne contaminants, are especially ...
