Excretion patterns of coccidian oocysts and nematode eggs during the reproductive season in Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) [PDF]

, 2016
Individual reproductive success largely depends on the ability to optimize behaviour, immune function and the physiological stress response. We have investigated correlations between behaviour, faecal steroid metabolites, immune parameters, parasite ...

Characterisation of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in Japanese Ranidae frogs. [PDF]

, 2016
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a key component of adaptive immunity in all jawed vertebrates, and understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped these genes in amphibians, one of the earliest terrestrial tetrapods, is important.

Evidence of mutagenic and lethal effects of herbicides on Amazonian frogs [PDF]

Acta Amazonica
Amphibians are excellent bioindicators because they are sensitive to chemical pollution and can indicate ecosystem changes due to the presence of or exposure to chemical compounds. Here we report evidence of the impact of herbicides, including glyphosate,

Antiproliferative activity of Rhinella marina and Rhaebo guttatus venom extracts from Southern Amazon

Toxicon, 2013
The venom of amphibians is a fascinating source of active substances. In view of their medical importance and aiming to explore the amazing Brazilian biodiversity, we conducted bioprospecting of antiproliferative activity in extracts of Rhinella marina and Rhaebo guttatus toads occurring in the Southern Amazon of Mato Grosso, Brazil.
