Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

A new family of diverse skin peptides from the microhylid frog genus phrynomantis [PDF]

, 2020
A wide range of frogs produce skin poisons composed of bioactive peptides for defence against pathogens, parasites and predators. While several frog families have been thoroughly screened for skin-secreted peptides, others, like the Microhylidae, have ...

Phenotypic Plasticity Across Gradients of Predation and Competition in Larval Amphibians

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Many taxa encounter a wide range of conditions for any particular environmental variable and they experience variation in multiple environmental variables simultaneously, which may have interactive effects if different environmental types induce opposing phenotypes.

The complete mitochondrial DNA for the Fujian Bamboo-leaf Frog Odorrana exiliversabilis (Anura: Ranidae) by next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for Odorrana exiliversabilisLi, Ye and Fei 2001 (Anura: Ranidae) was determined in this study. The length of complete mtDNA was 17,122 bp, including 13 PCGs (COI-III, ND1-6, ND4L, ATP6, ATP8 and CYTB), 25 tRNA genes,

Mitochondrial Phylogenomics and Genome Evolution in Anura: Insights From Structure and Gene Order Rearrangements

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...
