Although frogs are commonly used in vertebrate dissection courses, it is worth remembering that, as vertebrates, they are neither primitive nor typical—they are just readily available. However, their frequent use, particularly for some species, has been a factor in their decline in many areas. ...
We imaged the horizontal semicircular canal (HSCC) crista and cupula of toadfish, Opsanus tau, by using a) confocal light microscopy of isolated vital HSCC; b) serial sections of fixed, trichrome-stained HSCC; and c) scanning electron microscopy of fixed HSCCs. HSCC were dissections which...

Thanks go to Anneliese Lilienthal for performing toad hind limb dissections and making the anatomical drawings. I would also like to thank Ron Gist for programming related to the binning analyses, Jennifer Matera for help with digitizing and Alistair Cullum for access to his digitizing program. ...
It was one of a batch of toads delivered from the Trout Hatcheries near Kingwilliamstown in the Eastern Cape Province and had been in the laboratory for only five days before dissection.doi:10.1038/183271a0D W EWERNature Publishing Group UKNature...

The measurements were performed on isolated abdominal skins either directly after dissection or after additional incubation in Ussing-type chambers.Adaptations of the toads to increasing NaCl concentrations for 7 days resulted in increased blood plasma osmolarity and a parallel increase in the cellular ...
There was no significant difference between the number of food items obtained by stomach-flushing toads caught in pitfall traps and from the dissection of corpses found on nearby roads. The frequencies of the different food categories were similar using the two methods. 97 % of the toads ...
