Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for innate immunity against pathogens, yet its function in amphibians remains poorly understood. Here, we identified and cloned two novel isoforms of NLRP3 from the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana), designated AcNLRP3 X1 and AcNLRP3 X2, with open reading frames of 2397 bp (798 aa) and 2874 bp (957 aa)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2010 The objective of this work were to analyze the effect of predation byOdonata naiads on two amphibian species with distinct habits – benthic and mid-water – and to verify whether the presence and architecture of macrophytes can mediate this interaction ...

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 19, 5 March 2026.This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Agricultural development is a global wide‐spread alteration to natural landscapes that can impact stream fish assemblages at multiple scales. Knowing how environmental variables affect stream fish diversity and abundance is important for the conservation and management of stream fish assemblages.

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in High‐Altitude: A Case Report From Nepal
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection caused by Leishmania and spread by the bite of a sandfly, most commonly Phlebotomus. Among the three subtypes of Leishmaniasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form. Visceral Leishmaniasis is common in Nepal whereas few cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis have been reported in migrant Nepalese ...

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

Testing differences in thermal tolerance between two amphibians with contrasting invasion abilities
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionPhysiological traits may influence the establishment success of non-native species, yet empirical links between physiology and invasiveness remain limited. The American bullfrog (L. catesbeianus) and the green frog (L.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We investigated how Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) affects multi‐host amphibian communities in Tasmania, Australia. Despite differential susceptibility, we found no evidence of population declines in susceptible species, suggesting that current environmental conditions may buffer communities against Bd impacts.
