Linkage Map of Lissotriton Newts Provides Insight into the Genetic Basis of Reproductive Isolation
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Linkage maps are widely used to investigate structure, function, and evolution of genomes. In speciation research, maps facilitate the study of the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation by allowing identification of genomic regions underlying ...

Equivalence of background and bleaching desensitization in isolated rod photoreceptors of the larval tiger salamander. [PDF]
, 1996 Psychophysical experiments have shown an equivalence between sensitivity reduction by background light and by bleaches for the human scotopic system.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Antipredator pheromones in amphibians: a review
Veterinární Medicína, 2006 Specific chemosignals (pheromones) have an important role in the antipredator behaviour in amphibians and other vertebrates. However, relatively little is known about the occurrence of chemical alarm cues just in amphibians.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

pylifemap: Mapping data onto the tree of life
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The need to visualize data associated with NCBI Taxonomy Identifiers is growing in various biological fields ranging from comparative genomics to metagenomics and metabarcoding, and even for outreach. No tool today allows visualization of such data while still keeping the full vision of the whole taxonomy, possibly causing a biased view of the

Growth and the expression of alternative life cycles in the salamander \u3ci\u3eAmbystoma talpoideum\u3c/i\u3e (Caudata: Ambystomatidae) [PDF]
, 2003 Complex life cycles (CLCs) contain larval and adult phases that are morphologically and ecologically distinct. Simple life cycles (SLCs) have evolved from CLCs repeatedly in a wide variety of lineages but the processes that may underlie the transition ...

Regulation of intracellular cyclic GMP concentration by light and calcium in electropermeabilized rod photoreceptors. [PDF]
, 1994 This study examines the regulation of cGMP by illumination and by calcium during signal transduction in vertebrate retinal photoreceptor cells. We employed an electropermeabilized rod outer segment (EP-ROS) preparation which permits perfusion of low ...
