An inducible offense: carnivore morph tadpoles induced by tadpole carnivory [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2015
AbstractPhenotypic plasticity is commonplace, and plasticity theory predicts that organisms should often evolve mechanisms to detect and respond to environmental cues that accurately predict future environmental conditions. Here, we test this prediction in tadpoles of spadefoot toads, Spea multiplicata.

Naïve Poison Frog tadpoles use bi-modal cues to avoid insect predators but not heterospecific predatory tadpoles. [PDF]

, 2021
For animals to survive until reproduction, it is crucial that juveniles successfully detect potential predators and respond with appropriate behavior. The recognition of cues originating from predators can be innate or learned. Cues of various modalities

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

Papéis 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.

Land use and anuran biodiversity in southeast Kansas, USA [PDF]

, 2006
The relationship of anuran breeding site biodiversity to land use was examined in southeast Kansas, USA. Eight breeding pools or temporary ponds were sampled from March to July 1995.

How neurons generate behavior in a hatchling amphibian tadpole : an outline [PDF]

, 2010
Adult nervous systems are so complex that understanding how they produce behavior remains a real challenge. We chose to study hatchling Xenopus tadpoles where behavior is controlled by a few thousand neurons but there is a very limited number of types of

Behavioral observation of xenopus tadpole swimming for neuroscience labs [PDF]

, 2014
Neuroscience labs benefit from reliable, easily - monitored neural responses mediated by well - studied neural pathways . Xenopus laevis tadpoles have been used as a simple vertebrate model preparation in motor control studies.

) Tadpoles and Metamorphs

, 2021
Like many amphibians, wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) populations have likely declined or experienced local extirpations as a result of habitat alterations.

Algorithmically Solving the Tadpole Problem [PDF]

Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, 2022
The extensive computer-aided search applied in [arXiv:2010.10519] to find the minimal charge sourced by the fluxes that stabilize all the (flux-stabilizable) moduli of a smooth K3xK3 compactification uses differential evolutionary algorithms supplemented by local searches.

Roundup™ With Corticosterone Functions as an Infodisruptor to Antipredator Response in Tadpoles

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Larval amphibians are frequently exposed to multiple stressors in aquatic environments, so understanding how individual stressors and synergisms of multiple stressors affect amphibians is integral to conservation efforts.

Assessing the Genotoxicity Effect of a Commercial Chlorpyrifos Formulation in Fejervarya limnocharis Tadpoles (Anura: Dicroglossidae) Under Acute and Chronic Exposure

Journal of Experimental Life Science, 2022
The potential for genotoxicity of pesticides is currently one of the world's concerns. Chlorpyrifos is the organophosphate active ingredient with the largest sales, but the potential for genotoxicity in amphibians is still not widely known.
