Skin structure variation in water frogs of the genus Telmatobius (Anura: Telmatobiidae)
(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde e.V., 2017-05)
Skin structure is studied in a broad sample of frog species of the genus Telmatobius and its relatives. These frogs exhibit different ecological habits and occupy different habitats. The results demonstrate that the ...
Poison frogs, quick guide
(2015)
What are poison frogs? Poison frogs, also commonly called ‘dart poison frogs’ or ‘poison arrow frogs’, are charismatic amphibians forming a spectacular adaptive radiation, comparable to that of African cichlids. Many of ...
Effect of oxytocin on transepithelial transport of water and Na+ in distinct ventral regions of frog skin (Rana catesbeiana)
(Springer, 1996-06-01)
Thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic fragments of ventral skin of Rana catesbeiana were analysed regarding the effect of oxytocin on: (1) transepithelial water transport; (2) short-circuit current, (3) skin conductance and ...

Moulting behavior in leaf-frogs of the genus phyllomedusa (Anura : hylidae)
(Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2001-06-23)
The species belonging to the subfamily Phyllomedusinae presents physiological and behavioral adaptations to economise water such as secretion of lipids coupled with its spreading onto the skin surface through a complex ...
Tribute to R.G. Boutilier: Skin colour and body temperature changes in basking Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Bokermann 1956)
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2006-04-01)
In amphibians solar basking far from water sources is relatively uncommon since the highly permeable amphibian skin does not represent a significant barrier to the accompanying risk of losing water by evaporation. A South ...
