Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Monotone Densities
ABSTRACT We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian approach of imposing a prior that satisfies the monotonicity restriction, we place a prior on the step heights via binning and a Dirichlet distribution. The resulting posterior distribution

Mars’s tadpole craters are small, young craters whose crater rims are incised by one or more exit breaches but lack visible inlets. The tadpole-forming climate records the poorly understood drying of Mars since the Early Hesperian.

Maturation of spinal motor control through developmental changes in ion currents
Abstract figure legend Ion channels of spinal neurons have been shown to change during development in a wide range of species. These changes occur at specific stages of development. An important developmental process is the maturation of motor control by which the body acquires new movements or refines movements already present.

The larval morphology of Hypsiboas leptolineatus was studied. The tadpole has an ovoid body in lateral view, wider than deep; snout rounded with dorsal reniform nostrils; spiracle sinistral with lateral wall attached to body; anal tube dextral; tail fins

Fins are relevant non-lethal surrogates for muscle to measure stable isotopes in amphibians
Stable isotope analyses (SIA) are now widely used in ecology research to quantify the trophic implications of a large range of ecological processes.

Abstract The axillary lymph node remains a cornerstone of breast cancer staging and therapeutic decision‐making, yet it is still largely interpreted through a static anatomical framework. Emerging evidence challenges this paradigm, positioning tumor‐draining lymph nodes as dynamic immunological ecosystems that actively regulate tumor progression and ...

AT the beginning of April last I collected some frog ova for the purpose of making observations on development. Tadpoles appeared about April 9, and from time to time from that date until July 17, when young frogs were developed, I took batches away for preservation and sectioning.

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Anti-predator behavior is an important fitness component in most animals. Alien predator species are a serious threat to amphibian populations. We studied the vulnerability and behavioral defenses of tadpoles of six Chinese anurans in response to the ...
