Abstract:

For more than four decades, hearing in frogs has been an important source of information for those interested in auditory neuroscience, neuroethology and the evolution of hearing. Individual features of the frog auditory system can be found represented in one or many of the other vertebrate classes, but collectively the frog inner ear represents a cornucopia of evolutionary experiments in acoustic signal processing. The mechano-sensitive hair cell, as the focal point of transduction, figures critically in the encoding of acoustic information in the afferent auditory nerve. In this review, we p

Abstract:

SUMMARY Gliding has evolved independently in two families of tree frog. Tree frogs glide to descend rapidly to mating sites over temporary pools on the forest floor or to escape predators. The physical mechanisms used by frogs to glide and maneuver were investigated using a combination of observations of live frogs (Polypedates dennysi) gliding in a tilted wind-tunnel and aerodynamic forces and torques measured from physical models of tree frogs in a wind-tunnel. Tree frogs maneuvered in the tilted wind-tunnel using two different turning mechanisms: a banked turn (the frog rolls into the turn)

The determinations of release flux were carried out by the "removal" method and by measuring the rate of Ca2+ binding to dyes in large excess over other Ca2+ buffers.

Abstract To survive, organisms must adapt to changes in the ambient environment. Here, we describe a new model of anemia based on exposure of African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis to low-temperature. Frogs exposed at low-temperature (5ºC) for five days had decreased numbers of peripheral blood erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes as well as low hemoglobin levels. By contrast, spleen erythrocytes increased in number. Cell counts returned to normal in frogs re-warmed at ambient temperature (22ºC) for two days.

Abstract:

Context The severity and prevalence of the amphibian fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is correlated with several environmental variables, including salinity, temperature, and moisture content, which influence the pathogen’s growth and survival. Habitats that contain these environmental variables at levels outside of those optimal for Bd growth and survival may facilitate the survival of susceptible host species. Therefore, manipulation of environmental salinity is a potential management strategy to help conserve Bd-susceptible species. However, host behaviour also influence

Abstract:

Artificial night lighting (or ecological light pollution) is only now gaining attention as a source of long-term effects on the ecology of both diurnal and nocturnal animals. The limited data available clearly indicate that artificial light can affect physiology and behaviour of animals, leading to ecological consequences at the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Aquatic ecosystems may be particularly vulnerable to such effects, and nocturnally breeding animals such as frogs may be especially affected. To address this potential, we quantify the effects of artificial light on calling

Mucus transport on the frog palate was strongly influenced by season, with maximal transport occurring in late June (Julian day 178, p = 0.0001; r = 0.58). This increased transport rate was assoc

The hindlimb wiping reflex of the frog is an example of a targeted trajectory that is organized at the spinal level.

We tested hindlimb to hindlimb wiping, in which the wiping or effector limb and the target limb move together. Loss of afferent feedback from the wiping limb was produced by cutting dorsal roots 7–9. This caused altered initial trajectory direction, increased ankle path curvature, knee-joint velocity reversals, and overshooting

When the skin was bathed by 2 mM Na+ outside and open circuited, influx (JNain) was near maximum. If, under these conditions, the skin was short circuited, JNain increased threefold.

The articulation between extrastapes and the bony stapes shaft acts as a hinge, although movement at this hinge is usually small.

However, sloughing also causes a temporary loss of ionic and osmotic homeostasis due to disruption of the skin, a key osmoregulatory organ. The combined effects of increased sloughing frequency and chytridiomycosis contribute to the high rates of mortality from Bd infections. However, the mechanisms responsible for the loss of cu

Gas exchange in animals is ultimately diffusion based, generally occurring across dedicated respiratory organs.

For example, due to the physical properties of O2 being vastly different between air and water phases, the lung and skin play disproportionately important roles in O2 uptake.

The spinal cord itself therefore has a limited capacity for sensorimotor transformations. 2. We examined the kinematics of wiping motions in both spinal and intact leopard frogs and bullfrogs.

Species-specific differences in breeding strategies and physiology have limited the application of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for critically endangered amphibians in captive assurance colonies. In 2006, the Memphis Zoo (MZ) initiated a program to develop ART for the critically endangered Mississippi gopher frog after natural breeding failed. Standard gamete collection and IVF developed by MZ for reproducing endangered toads such as the Wyoming or boreal toad were applied to the gopher frog with little success, especially hormonal therapy for sperm production.

AbstractUsing rhodamine-labelled latex beads as a retrograde tracer, we have shown that a subset of the neurons projecting from the lateral thalamic nucleus to the optic tectum of the leopard frog are neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactive (NPY-IR). In juvenile frogs, approximately twice as many lateral thalamic nucleus cells from this area project to the ipsilateral tectum as project to the contralateral tectum. NPY-IR cells make up 25% of the projection to the ipsilateral tectum and 13% of the projection to the contralateral tectum. The ipsilateral NPY-IR projection from the lateral nucleus was

Abstract:

ABSTRACTRegulation of oxidative status plays a substantial role in physiological ageing. However, we know little about age-related changes of oxidative status in wild animals, and even less about the role of population history in moulding ageing rates. We addressed these questions by means of a common garden experiment, using the Tyrrhenian tree frog Hyla sarda as the study species. This species underwent a range expansion from northern Sardinia (source) up to Corsica (newly founded) during the Late Pleistocene, and then the two populations became geographically isolated. We found that, at the

Abstract:

Aerobic metabolic rates (M˙o 2) and respiratory quotients (RQ = CO2production/M˙o 2) were measured contemporaneously in hibernating frogs Rana temporaria (L.), submerged for 90 days at 3°C. After 3 mo of submergence in fully aerated water,M˙o 2levels were 61% of those seen at the same temperature before hibernation. Over the first 40 days of hibernation, RQ values (≤0.82) favored a lipid-based metabolism that progressively shifted to an exclusively carbohydrate metabolism (RQ = 1.01) by 90 days of hibernation. Liver glycogen concentrations fell by 68% during the first 8 wk of submergence, ther

Abstract:

Green-striped burrowing frogs ( Cyclorana alboguttata ) survive in arid environments by burrowing underground and entering into a deep, prolonged metabolic depression known as estivation. Throughout estivation, C. alboguttata is immobilized within a cast-like cocoon of shed skin and ceases feeding and moving. Remarkably, these frogs exhibit very little muscle atrophy despite extended disuse and fasting. Little is known about the transcriptional regulation of estivation or associated mechanisms that may minimize degradative pathways of atrophy. To investigate transcriptional pathways associated

Abstract:

1. Brachial dorsal root-evoked ventral root responses were studied in the isolated brain/spinal cord preparation of frogs. One group of frogs (n = 20) had survived a hemilabyrinthectomy (HL) between 7 and 70 days. In another group of frogs (n = 30), a nerve branch to an individual labyrinthine organ was sectioned uni- or bilaterally 15 days before the recording session. In a third group of frogs (n = 5), a weight had been mounted eccentrically on the head for 15 days. A fourth group of intact frogs (n = 8) served as a control. 2.

AbstractWe have previously reported that during optic nerve regeneration in the frog, 30–40% of retinal ganglion cells die, the loss being complete within 10 weeks. In the present study, we crushed the optic nerve, waited 10 weeks, and then recrushed the nerve at the same site. Retinae were examined 10 weeks later. We estimated ganglion cell numbers from cresyl-violet-stained wholemounts and found a fall of 53% compared to normals. The loss was significantly greater than the losses of 36% and 35%, respectively, in frogs which received a single optic nerve crush and were examined 10 or 20–24 we

Abstract:

The mechanisms by which the toe pads of tree frogs adhere to and detach from surfaces during climbing have been studied in Osteopilus septentrionalis and other tree frogs using a variety of techniques. The experiments on attachment lend general support to the theory that toe pads stick by wet adhesion. First, the presence of a meniscus surrounding the area of contact shows that pad and surface are connected by a fluid-filled joint. Second, experiments on single toe pads of anaesthetised frogs demonstrate that the pads exhibit the velocity-dependent resistance to shear forces expected of any sy

The aim of this study was to examine the responses of cutaneous primary afferent fibers in frogs to acetic acid (pH 2.84–1.42) applied topically to the skin. Conventional electrophysiological methods were used to record neuronal activity from single identified primary afferent fibers with cutaneous receptive fields on the hind limb.

Abstract:

Cellular mechanisms underlying defense reactions induced by noxious heat and acids were studied in frogs ( Rana pipiens) by measuring whole cell membrane currents in cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Seventy-eight of 82 DRG neurons exposed to 3-s ramps of increasing temperature to 48°C exhibited an inward current ( I HEAT) of 490 ± 70 pA at −70 mV. I HEAT exhibited reversal at ∼10 mV with a pronounced outward rectification, suggesting opening of nonselective cation channels. In frogs, in contrast to mammals, I HEAT was not influenced by capsaicin (5 μM), capsazepine (10 μM), or ruth
