Rheotactic Responses in Bufo bufo Tadpoles—Insights Into Adaptation to Lotic Environment [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Current flow is an important stimulus for amphibian larvae. The common toad (Bufo bufo ) typically breeds in stagnant waters or, less commonly, in slow‐flowing rivers, where tadpoles further develop. This study is the first investigation of B.

Tadpole pupil [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2013
Editors' Note: Dr. Egan inquires about the possibility of Tournay phenomenon in Kawasaki and Mayer's "Tadpole pupil." Dr. Charles, in reference to "Disease-modifying drugs for multiple sclerosis in pregnancy: A systematic review," suggests that it might be appropriate to continue glatiramer acetate in women trying to conceive given the lack of evidence

Tadpoles of four sympatric megophryinid frogs (Anura, Megophryidae, Megophryinae) from Mangshan in southern China [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2023
Sympatric distribution and potentially long larval development time make the assignment of tadpoles confusing in Asian-horned frogs of the subfamily Megophryinae.

Growing up in a new world: trait divergence between rural, urban, and invasive populations of an amphibian urban invader [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota, 2021
Cities are focal points of introduction for invasive species. Urban evolution might facilitate the success of invasive species in recipient urban habitats.

Consumptive and nonconsumptive effects of omnivorous tadpoles on aquatic invertebrate communities

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Consumptive effects (CEs) of predation have been well‐studied in most aquatic systems, but nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) on prey have only recently received limited attention.

The tadpole problem [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Abstract We examine the mechanism of moduli stabilization by fluxes in the limit of a large number of moduli. We conjecture that one cannot stabilize all complex-structure moduli in F-theory at a generic point in moduli space (away from singularities) by fluxes that satisfy the bound imposed by the tadpole cancellation condition ...

Factor in Fear: Interference Competition in Polymorphic Spadefoot Toad Tadpoles and Its Potential Role in Disruptive Selection

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Disruptive selection arises when extreme phenotypes have a fitness advantage compared to more-intermediate phenotypes. Theory and evidence suggest that intraspecific resource competition is a key driver of disruptive selection. However, while competition

Distribution of tadpoles of Ollotis occidentalis (Amphibia: Anura: Bufonidae) along the Río Salado, Puebla, México

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2010
We examined monthly variation in the characteristics of river sections along the Río Salado (Puebla, Mexico) and how these factors were associated with the dis- tribution of the tadpoles of the toad Ollotis occidentalis.

Tadpoles of the High-Andean Hyloxalus subpunctatus (Anura: Dendrobatidae) with description of larval variation and species distinction by larval morphology

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2013
This study redescribes the tadpoles of Hyloxalus subpunctatus (Anura: Dendrobatidae) based on larvae from the type locality and over most of its geographic range, including all stages of ontogenetic development.

Xenopus laevis tadpoles exposed to metamifop: Changes in growth, behavioral endpoints, neurotransmitters, antioxidant system and thyroid development

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Pesticides are a major cause of the reduction in the global amphibian population. In this study, the acute toxicity and chronic effects of metamifop on Xenopus laevis (X. laevis) tadpoles were investigated. The 96 h-LC50 value of metamifop on X.
