Journal ArticleDOI
Species limits and phylogeography of North American cricket frogs (Acris: Hylidae)
TL;DR: Under a lineage-based species concept, Acris blanchardi is recognized as a distinct species of cricket frog and distinct phylogeographic groups within A. crepitans and A. gryllus are recovered that are congruent with other codistributed taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shedding Light on Ultraviolet Radiation and Amphibian Embryos
TL;DR: The hypothesis that ambient UVB radiation causes amphibian mortality and population declines is without support because the natural environmental factors and biological traits of amphibians that protect them fromUVB radiation are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testis size variation in frogs: testing the alternatives
TL;DR: Testis size was measured in 90 species of frogs belonging to five families and found to be positively correlated with relative clutch size in species that lack sperm competition, but there was no correlation between relative testis size and level of male agonistic behavior among species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drainage ditches facilitate frog movements in a hostile landscape
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the breeding, survival, and movements of green frogs (Rana clamitans melanota) in drainage ditches and also surveyed peat fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in thyroid hormone action and tissue content underlies species differences in the timing of metamorphosis in desert frogs.
TL;DR: Differences inTH physiology and gonad development provide evidence that selection for the short larval periods in spadefoot toads acted via TH physiology and led to dramatic heterochronic shifts in metamorphic climax relative to Gonad development.
