Influence of Lead, an Environmental Pollutant on Metamorphosis of Rana utricularia (Amphibia: Ranidae) [PDF]
, 1978 The influence of lead, an environmental pollutant on metamorphosis of Rana utricularia, was examined in this study. Larvae of stage XI (Taylor and Kollros, 1946), beginning of the premetamorphic stage, were exposed to lead concentrations of 0.1 ppm, 0.5 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of the near‐threatened frog Nanorana quadranus from the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The 20,173 bp mitogenome includes 13 protein‐coding genes, 21 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis places N. quadranus in a clade with N.

Multiple bombesin-like peptides with opposite functions from skin of Odorrana grahami [PDF]
, 2007 Bombesin-like peptides (BLPs) are a family of neuroendocrinic peptides that mediate a variety of biological activities. Three mature BLPs from the skin secretions of the frog Odorrana grahami were purified.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

Waving Through Ontogeny: The Larval Chondrocranial Development of Staurois parvus
International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The vertebrate skull is a complex structure with diverse evolutionary and developmental patterns. Anuran chondrocranial development has been shown to deviate from generalized vertebrate trends, highlighting its evolutionary flexibility. This study investigates the chondrocranial development of Staurois parvus, a ranid frog, to provide insights into ...
