Genetic polymorphism in amphibian populations of Protected Areas in the south of Western Siberia and the Urals

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2018
Amphibians are an important but vulnerable component of biodiversity. Climatic changes and anthropogenic transformation of the environment can lead to changes in spawning times and habitat boundaries, causing adverse genetic processes in populations.

Characterization of NLRP3 isoforms in bullfrog Aquarana catesbeiana and their role in antibacterial immunity

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
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)

Scandinavian amphibians: their aquatic habitat and tolerance

open access: yesFauna Norvegica, 2010
To determine the impact that anthropogenic acidification has had on natural amphibian populations in Scandinavia and to trace the species’ tolerance limits, in 1988-89 four poorly buffered areas in Norway were investigated; three were anthropogenically ...

A Review of the Scale and Sustainability of the Consumption and Trade of Anuran Species in Africa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Within Africa, collection and trade of anurans is often recorded as single‐site case studies, making it difficult to accurately understand the scale of use, its livelihood importance, and impact on species. We conducted a systematic review to: compile literature on anuran uses in Africa; identify the species and ecoregions involved; and ...

Caractéristiques biologiques de la reproduction de la Grenouille rousse (Rana temporaria) dans une population à l'extrême sud-ouest de la France [PDF]

open access: yesMunibe Ciencias Naturales, 2010
Se ha estudiado una pequeña población de rana bermeja (Rana temporaria) en su lugar de reproducción en el País Vasco (Pyrénées Atlantiques). Su morfología particular ha hecho considerar estas ranas como atípicas, por lo que deberían ser preservadas.

Outbreaks of an Emerging Viral Disease Covary With Differences in the Composition of the Skin Microbiome of a Wild United Kingdom Amphibian

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
There is growing appreciation of the important role of commensal microbes in ensuring the normal function and health of their hosts, including determining how hosts respond to pathogens. A range of infectious diseases are threatening amphibians worldwide,

Integrating the Microbiome Into Infection Ecology and Evolution in Wild Animals

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites are a ubiquitous force in nature threatening wildlife populations and ecosystems. Interactions between hosts and their parasites are impacted by host‐associated microbiomes, which are essential for host development, physiology and immunity.
