It may be hard to imagine competing over who gets to kiss a frog, but when it comes to mating, a new study concludes that some frogs have moved out of the pond onto land to make it easier for the male ...
Territorial and Reproductive Behavior of an Amazonian Dendrobatid Frog, Colostethus caeruleodactylus
Aposematic, toxic dendrobatids have received much attention in recent years, resulting in a greater understanding of their biology and evolution; in contrast, data on natural history, social behavior, ...
Travel out of almost any of the major cities of Honshu on an overcast, rain-threatening evening, and head toward rice country. Ribbit, ribbit: The male Hokkaido brown frog mating. There, in the ...
A Brazilian study described in an article published in the journal Salamandra evidences the versatility of amphibians in terms of reproductive modes: their eggs and larvae can develop in at least 74 ...
A farm irrigation canal would seem a healthier place for toads than a ditch by a supermarket parking lot. But University of Florida scientists have found the opposite is true. In a study with wide ...
Water frogs have emerged as a compelling model in evolutionary biology due to their unusual modes of hybridization and reproductive genomics. Interspecific crosses between parental species have given ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract There is substantial comparative and growing experimental evidence that the competition for fertilization among sperm from different males can ...
A few years back, a message from a frog-loving friend dropped unexpectedly into my mailbox. “Toughie,” he wrote, “is dead.” Toughie the frog had fans the world over, and I was one of them. Impossibly ...
Researchers have identified two new species of tree frogs with jewel-colored eyes on the Island of Taiwan. The tadpoles of these frogs display a strange reproductive behavior: the tadpole embryos feed ...
A farm irrigation canal would seem a healthier place for toads than a ditch by a supermarket parking lot. But scientists have found the opposite is true. In a study with wide implications for a ...
Biologists have long thought that some frogs evolved to mate on land instead of in water to better guard eggs and tadpoles from predation. New research now suggests that mating on land in many species ...
