Primeiro estudo parasitológico em rã com garras Africano (Xenopus laevis, Anfibia) no Chile [PDF]
, 2017 Introduced species can arrive into new territories with parasites; however, these species are expected to face lower parasite richness than in their original regions. Both introduced hosts and parasites can affect native fauna.

A Model for Investigating Developmental Eye Repair in Xenopus Laevis [PDF]
, 2018 Vertebrate eye development is complex and requires early interactions between neuroectoderm and surface ectoderm during embryogenesis. In the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, individual eye tissues such as the retina and lens can undergo regeneration.

Expression of transposable elements in neural tissues during Xenopus development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transposons can have detrimental effects on genome stability but also offer positive roles for genome evolution and gene expression regulation.

Characterization of Pax3 and Sox10 Transgenic Xenopus Laevis Embryos as Tools to Study Neural Crest Development [PDF]
, 2018 The neural crest is a multipotent population of cells that originates a variety of cell types. Many animal models are used to study neural crest induction, migration and differentiation, with amphibians and birds being the most widely used systems.

Evolutionary Divergence in Developmental Strategies and Neuromodulatory Control Systems of Two Amphibian Locomotor Networks [PDF]
, 2004 Attempts to understand the neural mechanisms which produce behaviour must consider both prevailing sensory cues and the central cellular and synaptic changes they direct. At each level, neuromodulation can additionally shape the final output.
