Acta Herpetologica, 2011 We examined the changes in activity of wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) tadpoles exposed to combinations of visual, chemical, and mechanical cues of the invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis).

Making friends: social attraction in larval green and golden bell frogs, Litoria aurea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Socio-ecological models combine environmental and social factors to explain the formation of animal groups. In anurans, tadpole aggregations have been reported in numerous species, but the factors driving this behaviour remain unclear.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 Tadpole galaxies have a giant star-forming region at the end of an elongated intensity distribution. Here we use SDSS data to determine the ages, masses, and surface densities of the heads and tails in 14 local tadpoles selected from the Kiso and Michigan surveys of UV-bright galaxies, and we compare them to tadpoles previously studied in the Hubble ...

Metamodulation of a spinal locomotor network by nitric oxide [PDF]
, 2004 Flexibility in the output of spinal networks can be accomplished by the actions of neuromodulators; however, little is known about how the process of neuromodulation itself may be modulated.

The development of free-swimming in Xenopus laevis larvae [PDF]
, 2013 In Xenopus laevis frog tadpoles, highly self-motive, free-swimming behaviour emerges at the onset of feeding. This is in contrast to the earlier post-hatched larval form, which is capable of escape swimming when stimulated, but normally lies dormant.

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2020 Behavioral responses of tadpoles of Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Anura: Bufonidae) to cues of starved and fed dragonfly larvae. Tadpoles of Duttaphrynus melanostictus use chemoreception to detect kairomonal cues and excretory metabolites from predatory ...

Antipredator pheromones in amphibians: a review
Veterinární Medicína, 2006 Specific chemosignals (pheromones) have an important role in the antipredator behaviour in amphibians and other vertebrates. However, relatively little is known about the occurrence of chemical alarm cues just in amphibians.

Bilateral tadpole pupils [PDF]
Neurology, 2016 A 19-year-old man with congenital erythropoietic protoporphyria and without family history or prior migraine attacks had recurrent seizures, which were controlled on propofol. Eye examination performed while awake revealed nonreacting bilateral tadpole pupils (TPs) (figure), without other neurologic deficits.

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.This study employed eDNA technology for biodiversity surveys and conducted high‐density spatiotemporal eDNA sampling to evaluate ecosystem‐scale patterns across temporal, spatial, and habitat dimensions. We identified 97 fish species from 12 orders, 29 families, and 71 genera using eDNA technology. Spatially, fish diversity indices were correlated with
