Presence of an alien turtle accelerates hatching of common frog (Rana temporaria) tadpoles [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 The presence of a predator affects prey populations either by direct predation or by modifying various parts of their life history. We investigated whether the hatching time, developmental stage, and body size at hatching of common frog (Rana temporaria)

Evolutionary Divergence in Developmental Strategies and Neuromodulatory Control Systems of Two Amphibian Locomotor Networks [PDF]
, 2004 Attempts to understand the neural mechanisms which produce behaviour must consider both prevailing sensory cues and the central cellular and synaptic changes they direct. At each level, neuromodulation can additionally shape the final output.

Genome-Wide Characterization of Sex-Linked Regions in the Sangzhi Horned Toad (Boulenophrys sangzhiensis) Reveals Complex Sex Determination Mechanisms. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Sex chromosomes in amphibians exhibit substantial variability and often remain largely homomorphic, providing a powerful system for studying sex determination. The Sangzhi horned toad (Boulenophrys sangzhiensis) is an ideal model, but limited genomic resources have hindered insights into sex determination mechanisms.
