Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract
Ecology and EvolutionMany 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

Microanatomy of Dermal Roofing Bones in the Skull of Pipoid Frogs. [PDF]
J MorpholThe cranial bone microanatomy in extant and extinct aquatic pipoids and phylogenetically distant aquatic anurans were analyzed. Micro‐CT data revealed no significant differences in bone thickness and cross‐sectional area among groups, that present similar aquatic lifestyles.
