Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Many animals flee from their predators before capture. However, some species can successfully escape even after being swallowed. The likelihood of postcapture escape may be influenced by predator species and size, although this hypothesis has rarely been

Helminth community structure and diet of three Afrotropical anuran species: a test of the interactive-versus-isolationist parasite communities hypothesis [PDF]

Web Ecology, 2011
The interactive-versus-isolationist hypothesis predicts that parasite communities should be depauperated and weakly structured by interspecific competition in amphibians. A parasitological survey was carried out to test this hypothesis using three anuran

Cryptic diversity in Lithobates warszewitschii (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
Lithobates warszewitschii is a species of ranid frog distributed from southern Honduras to Panama. This species suffered severe population declines at higher elevations (above 500 m a.s.l.) from the 1980s to early 1990s, but there is more recent evidence

Defenses of whirligig beetles against native and invasive frogs [PDF]

PeerJ
Many native insects have evolved defenses against native predators. However, their defenses may not protect them from non-native predators due to a limited shared history.

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Amolops hainanensis</i> (anura: ranidae). [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Amolops hainanensis is 17778 bp in length (GenBank accession number PP734094) and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of A. hainanensis is identical to those of other Amolops species and has a typical neobatrachian arrangement.
