The Composition and Function of Intestinal Microbiota Were Altered in Farmed Bullfrog Tadpoles (Aquarana catesbeiana) during Metamorphosis

Microorganisms
The bullfrog Aquarana catesbeiana is one of the main farmed frog species in China, with a low overall survival of farmed bullfrogs from hatching to harvest since bullfrog tadpoles are fragile during the metamorphosis period.

Photo go‐alongs for researching the relations between people and place

Area, Volume 58, Issue 1, March 2026.
Short Abstract This paper demonstrates the value of photo go‐alongs as a qualitative method for researching the complex relationships between people and place. Three key advantages are discussed. First, photo go‐alongs show how pasts and futures shape the unfolding present. Second, they highlight how biographical and social memories intertwine.

Amphibians' Expansion to Record Elevations Influences Chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) Infection Dynamics

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.

Development of Uncertainty Sensitivity: Early Competence or Protracted Development?

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of uncertainty sensitivity, a critical cognitive ability, presents a challenging paradox: Some evidence points to its emergence in infancy, whereas other evidence indicates much later emergence and protracted development.

The Effect of Background Colour on Behaviour and Development of Golden Mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) Tadpoles

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 204-215, March 2026.
This study examined how background colour influences behaviour and development in golden mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) tadpoles across ontogeny. Tadpoles preferred darker backgrounds, and this preference got less strong with increasing age. Individuals reared in darker conditions were less active but did not differ in growth rate and shelter use when ...

Beyond Comorbidity: Evolutionary Insights Into the Concomitance of Neurodivergence, Major Depressive Disorder, and Anxiety Disorders

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Mainstream psychiatry continues to interpret neurodivergence through a disease paradigm, assuming that all cases of autism and ADHD reflect disordered brain development. This framing has contributed to the view that elevated rates of co‐occurring psychiatric diagnoses found in neurodivergent populations can be explained through shared ...

Integrating the Microbiome Into Infection Ecology and Evolution in Wild Animals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites are a ubiquitous force in nature threatening wildlife populations and ecosystems. Interactions between hosts and their parasites are impacted by host‐associated microbiomes, which are essential for host development, physiology and immunity.

Body length of Hylodes cf. ornatus and Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles, depigmentation of mouthparts, and presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis are related Tamanho do corpo, despigmentação das partes bucais e presença de Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis estão relacionados em Hylodes cf. ornatus e Lithobates catesbeianus

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2013
A fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which can cause morbidity and death of anurans, has affected amphibian populations on a worldwide basis.

The tadpole of Hypsiboas leptolineatus (Braun and Braun, 1977), a species in the Hypsiboas polytaenius clade (Anura; Hylidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
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

Morphometrics and ratio of body proportionality of tadpoles of Rhinella icterica (Anura, Bufonidae) at different developmental stages

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The plasticity of the anurans' development is probably related to their great ecological and geographic diversity. Therefore, the understanding of environmental occupation by tadpoles is related to their morphological peculiarities.
