Evaluating the Use of Environmental DNA as a Method to Determine Occupancy and Distribution of Coeur d'Alene Salamanders in Montana

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Ranidae Rafinesque 1814

open access: yes, 2015
FAMILY RANIDAE Rafinesque 1814, 102 (1 genus, 5 species) Lithobates Fitzinger 1843, 31 (5 species). Pyron & Wiens (2011) returned Lithobates to the huge genus Rana Linnaeus (1758 [210]). Fouquette & Dubois (2014) recognized Lithobates as a subgenus of Rana, but Hillis (2014) was especially critical of that usage. Solís et al.

Three new Ranidae mitogenomes and the evolution of mitochondrial gene rearrangements among Ranidae species.pdf

open access: yes, 2018
Abstract: Various types of gene rearrangements have been discovered in the mitogenoes of the frog family Ranidae. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of three Rana frogs. By combining the available mitogenomic data sets from GenBank, we evaluated the phylogenetic relationships of Ranidae at the mitogenome level and analyzed ...
