Abstract:
The contamination of aquatic systems by anthropogenic activities may impact amphibian populations by causing malformation and death in tadpoles. However, there often needs to be more information regarding environmental pollutants' effects on amphibians, such as contaminated systems from the state of Tlaxcala in Mexico. This study reports on morphological abnormalities observed in Lithobates spectabilis tadpoles found in a stream of three sites monitored in Tlaxcala. The tadpoles presented swollen heads, edema, intestinal hemorrhage, anomalies in the mouth, a deviated tail, and underdeveloped t

Abstract:
Exposure to metal nanoparticles is potentially harmful, particularly when occurring during embryogenesis. In this study, we tested the effects of commercial AuNPs and AgNPs, widely used in many fields for their features, on the early development of Xenopus laevis, an anuran amphibian key model species in toxicity testing. Through the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay—Xenopus test (FETAX), we ascertained that both nanoparticles did not influence the survival rate but induced morphological anomalies like modifications of head and branchial arch cartilages, depigmentation of the dorsal area, damage

Abstract:
The anomaly P in green frogs was firstly found in 1952 in France by French writer and scientist Jean Rostand. Mild form of anomaly P manifestation includes polydactyly, while complex morphological transformations affect the fore and hindlimbs and include combinations of traits: polydactyly, brachymely, hind limb flexion, small additional limbs, bone outgrowths, tumors and edema in the hind limbs. Rostand experimentally showed that this anomaly is not inherited and is caused by some environmental factors. It was recorded only in Western Palearctic green frogs of the genus Pelophylax and was abs

Abstract:
The anomaly P is a widespread morphological anomaly, which occurs in some groups of amphibians, caused by the trematode parasite Strigea robusta (Digenea: Strigeidae). This anomaly has been previously recorded in water frogs of the genus Pelophylax and toads of the genera Bufo and Bufotes. The anomaly P includes symmetrical polydactyly cases as a mild attenuated form of the complex syndrome, which in severe cases includes strong deformations of hindlimbs and forelimbs. Strigea robusta has a complex 3-host life cycle using planorbid mollusks as the first intermediate hosts, amphibian larvae as

Caecilians (Gymnophiona) are commonly known as limbless amphibians and are the least understood vertebrate order. In this paper, we documented skin color, eye, jaw, snout, tentacular aperture and cloacal anomalies in 12 individuals of four species belonging to the three caecilian genera Ichthyophis, Uraeotyphlus and Gegeneophis collected from hotspots of caecilian diversity in India, the Western Ghats and Northeast India.

Abstract:
We report anophthalmia in a juvenile of the Ridged Treefrog Dryophytes plicatus from Santiago Tulantepec, Hidalgo, Mexico, where the specimen lacked the left eye, presenting a reduced ocular cavity covered by skin. This rare anomaly may result from genetic factors or agrochemical exposure, as fertilizers are used in nearby crops and due to other related cases, highlighting the need for further studies about morphological anomalies in amphibians and the main causes. This finding expands the knowledge of morphological anomalies in D. plicatus and emphasizes the importance of conservation efforts

ABSTRACT Amphibians are excellent bioindicators because they are sensitive to chemical pollution and can indicate ecosystem changes due to the presence of or exposure to chemical compounds. Here we report evidence of the impact of herbicides, including glyphosate, on amphibians in a locality in the central Brazilian Amazon and compare it with data from other biomes in Brazil. We observed malformations in three species of Leptodactylus and local extinctions of Scinax ruber and Rhinella marina from reproductive sites close to an area where herbicides had been applied.

Also the presence of morphological abnormalities in post-metamorphic individuals was assessed.

Abstract:
The "anomaly P" was described in Palearctic water frogs of the genus Pelophylax by Jean Rostand as complex morphological anomalies of water frogs, including polydactyly, brachymely, hind limb oedema, bone outgrowths, spikes, flexions and additional limbs in the inguinal region. In 2016, the anomaly P syndrome was rediscovered in central Russia, confirming the hypothesis concerning its wider distribution. Here, three new records of this syndrome in two species of western Palearctic water frog from Russia are described.

В результате спонтанного или индуцированного мутагенеза в эритроцитах периферической крови амфибий и рептилий могут возникать микроядра и морфологические аномалии ядер. Их анализ положен в основу метода исследований, названного микроядерным тестом. Использование этого теста связано с проблемой коректной морфологической дифференциации микроядер и ядерных аномалий. В данной статье рассмотрены методические вопросы типирования микроядер и ядерных аномалий ядер. В соотвествии с алгоритмом анализа ввыделены два типа микроядер: изолированные (обособленные) от клеточного ядра и примыкающие к ядру. Ано
