A morphological and ultrastructural study of the paracloacal (Scent) glands of the marsupial Metachirus nudicaudatus Geoffroy, 1803
(1995-01-01)
Morphological and ultrastructural features of the paracloacal glands of Metachirus nudicaudatus are described. Two pairs of glands, one on the right and the other on the left of the anal canal, are formed, each consisting ...

Oviducal glands throughout the gonad development stages: a case study of Octopus mimus (Cephalopoda)
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2017)
The oviducal glands (ODG) play a crucial role in octopus reproduction. Herein, structural changes of
each section of the ODG of Octopus mimus are described histologically throughout the gonad
development stages (GDS). ...

Morphological Changes in Skin Glands During Development in Rhinella Arenarum (Anura: Bufonidae)
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2016-01)
Avoiding predation is critical to survival of animals; chemical defenses represent a common strategy among amphibians. In this study, we examined histologically the morphology of skin glands and types of secretions related ...
Post-metamorphic development of skin glands in a true toad: Parotoids versus dorsal skin
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-05)
Chemical defenses in amphibians are a common antipredatory and antimicrobial strategy related to the presence of dermal glands that synthesize and store toxic or unpalatable substances. Glands are either distributed ...
Ecomorphology of the rectal gland of three batoids (Elasmobranchii: Myliobatiformes)
(2021-07-01)
The rectal gland (RG) is a specialized organ that performs a major role in salt excretion of marine elasmobranch species. We aimed to describe the rectal gland ecomorphology in three stingray species (Hypanus marianae, ...
Morphology and ultrastructure of the Dufour gland of Myzinum sp (Tiphiidae)
(Pensoft Publ, 2017-01-01)
The Dufour gland of two Myzinum females was studied with light and electron microscopy, and is formed by a large sac lined with a monolayered secretory epithelium. The epithelium displays a crenellate appearance, which is ...
Skin glands, poison and mimicry in dendrobatid and leptodactylid amphibians
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-03-01)
In amphibians, secretions of toxins from specialized skin poison glands play a central role in defense against predators. The production of toxic secretions is often associated with conspicuous color patterns that warn ...
