Description of the tadpoles of Hypsiboas aguilari and H. melanopleura (Anura: Hylidae: Hypsiboas pulchellus group)
(Deutsche Gesellschaft fuur Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde, 2011-02-20)
We describe the tadpoles of Hypsiboas melanopleura and H. aguilari and compare them with the tadpoles of other species in the Hypsiboas pulchellus group. The description of the tadpole of H. aguilari is based on an individual ...
Lack of functional link in the tadpole morphology induced by predators
(Oxford University Press, 2016-03-16)
Most studies of predator-induced plasticity have focused on documenting how prey species respond to predators by modifying phenotypic traits and how traits correlate with fitness. We have previously shown that Pleurodema ...
Morphology and feeding in tadpoles of Ceratophrys cranwelli (Anura: Leptodactylidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2005-01)
This paper provides data on the skeleton, musculature, buccal apparatus, buccopharyngeal cavity and diet of Ceratophrys cranwelli tadpoles, and attempts to contribute to the knowledge of relations between morphology and ...
Inhibition and recovery of cholinesterases in Odontophrynus americanus tadpoles exposed to fenitrothion
(Triveni Enterprises, 2009-12)
We determined the levels of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and tail butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities in tadpoles of Odontophrynus americanus exposed to a commercial formulation of fenitrothion. The mean brain ...
Hotspot of tadpole abnormality in suburban south-west Florida
(British Herpetological Society, 2019-04)
A high concentration of Cuban treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) tadpoles displaying morphological abnormalities was discovered in an untreated swimming pool in Bonita Springs, Florida. This find initiated a 4-year ...
The influence of tadpole density and predation on the behavioral responses of two Neotropical anurans
(Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2019-12)
The risk of predation can prompt a variety of responses from the prey species, including changes in morphology, life history, and behavior. Adaptive responses to predators may depend on the amount of resources available ...
Gyrinicola chabaudi Araujo & Artigas, 1982 (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae) in tadpoles of Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) (Anura: Hylidae) from Corrientes, Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales y Agrimensura, 2005)
Effect of parasitism of Lernaea cyprinacea on tadpoles of the invasive species Lithobates catesbeianus
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
The introduction of invasive species is one of the greatest threats currently faced by natural ecosystems, causing ecological imbalances between native populations and transmission of a variety of diseases. We reported the ...
