“…Tonic immobility as a tactic to avoid mating or male harassment has only been observed in a handful of species and only in one other amphibian. Our observations show that females in explosive breeding frogs may not be as passive and helpless as previously thought.…”

“…Observations of magnetic field effects on biological systems have often been contradictory. For amphibian eggs, a review of the available literature suggests that part of the discrepancies might be resolved by considering a previously neglected parameter for morphological alterations induced by magnetic fields – the jelly layers that normally surround the egg and are often removed in laboratory studies for easier cell handling. …”

“…It has recently been shown that large karyophilic proteins are transported across the nuclear envelope in amphibian oocytes. In consideration of this, the present experiments were performed to identify the specific sites within the envelope through which transport occurs and determine if molecular size is a limiting factor in the transport process. …”

“…The protease sensitivity of the catalytic alpha-subunit of Na,K-ATPase during intracellular transport along the exocytic pathway has been investigated in two amphibian epithelial cell lines. Controlled trypsinolysis followed by immunoprecipitation of cell homogenates or microsomal fractions from [35S]methionine pulse-chased A6 kidney cells revealed distinct cleavage patterns by SDS-PAGE. …”

“…Our results are in line with a dual localization of a protein farnesyltransferase in the cytosol and nuclei of amphibian oocytes. Implications for the possible functions of a nuclear protein farnesyltransferase as well as possible mechanisms of the selective inhibition of farnesylation of cytoplasmic proteins by peptidomimetics are discussed.…”

“…Predictive models that can give expansion rates as functions of energy supply and feeding ground distribution could help to maximise control efficiency but to date no study has measured rates of field energy expenditure in an amphibian. In the present study we used the accelerometry technique to generate behavioural time budgets and, through the derivation of ODBA (overall dynamic body acceleration), to obtain estimates of energetics in free ranging cane toads. …”

“…Furthermore, We observed gcm2 expression patterns in embryos of the teleost fishes Medaka (Oryzias latipes) and fugu (Fugu niphobles), the extant primitive ray-finned fishes Polypterus (Polypterus senegalus) and sturgeon (a hybrid of Huso huso × Acipenser ruhenus), and the amphibian Xenopus (Xenopus laevis). Although gcm2-expressing cells were observed on the skin surface of Medaka and fugu, they were not found in Polypterus, sturgeon, or Xenopus. …”

We then used reserve selection software to prioritize areas for conservation based on intraspecific variation or species-level diversity. …”

“…Taken together with a similar prior observation in salamander red-sensitive cones, these observations indicate that the dominance of response recovery by a Ca(2+)-sensitive process is a general feature of amphibian cone phototransduction. Moreover, changes in the external pH also influenced the dominant time constant of red-sensitive cones even when changes in internal [Ca(2+)] were prevented. …”
