The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2151-2175, August 2026.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Effects of Timing of Microbial Exposure on Microbiome Assembly and Amphibian Immune Development

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We used a novel amphibian gnotobiotic system to investigate how disruptions to the microbiome during critical developmental periods influence microbial assembly and the development of immunity. We found that antimicrobial treatments of embryos and subsequent introduction to microbes at different developmental stages altered microbiome assembly ...

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

open access: yesBrazilian 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.

Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1358-1371, August 2026.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

Living near humans: new diet items for the Big-headed Treefrog Polypedates megacephalus (Amphibia: Anura: Rhacophoridae) and its tadpoles in Vietnam

open access: yesNatural History Sciences
The predation by the Big-headed Treefrog Polypedates megacephalus on the Common House Gecko Hemidactylus frenatus and a failed predation attempt on the Tokay Gecko Gekko gecko are reported.

Testing differences in thermal tolerance between two amphibians with contrasting invasion abilities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Physiological 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.

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

open access: yesMicroorganisms
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.

Bioaccumulation, Ecotoxicity, and Microbial Responses in Hoplobatrachus rugulosus Tadpoles Following Co-Exposure to Imidacloprid and Microplastics

open access: yesAnimals
Agricultural organic pollutants have been identified as a key factor contributing to amphibian population decline, particularly during early developmental stages when tadpoles are frequently exposed to neonicotinoids (NEOs) and microplastics (MPs).

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

open access: yesBrazilian 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.
