Tree frog, any of more than 800 species of typically arboreal frog occurring on all continents except Antarctica and belonging to one of several families of the order Anura. Of these, the hylid, or “true,” tree frogs from the family Hylidae are the mos

sites (G18 and H18) (n = 14). Three additional individuals were sampled to produce the reference transcriptome (seeAdditional Material and Methods). After capture, frogs were kept individually in a wet plastic container overnight, measured, weighted and dissected as described before [42,43...
(Madden et al., 2005a). Phoebes build mud nests on firm, protected substrates, such as cliff overhangs or buildings, while blackbirds build nests of woven vegetation in reeds and other nonrigid plants (Weeks, 1994; Yasukawa and Searcy, 1995). Detection of adult arrival by cues such as ...
The American Museum of Natural History’s 2024 Origami Holiday Tree, themed “Jumping for Joy” for the leap year, features over 1,000 paper models, blending decades-old preserved pieces with new designs, and includes visitor activities like hands-on ori
The benefits of a cushion-like growth form at high altitudes go beyond just heat retention and wind protection – they also extend to increasing soil moisture and nutrition in the area beneath the cushion. Cushion plants, like most alpine plants, have a large, deep taproot. Because alpine soil...
As with Base Regulator, Core Release has a major impact on the pulsation points of the pelvic region, but without the damping impact on the libido. Core Release enhances the sexual centre's sensitivity, and at the same time brings an element of protection to the entire pelvic area. This ...
We examined blood physiology of frogs using the VetScan i-STAT portable clinical analyzer for point-of-care blood testing, and i-STAT CHEM 8+ test cartridges (Abaxis, Union City, CA, USA). This blood analyzer gives accurate measurements of biochemical blood parameters and has been extensively ...
Body condition of Eastern tree frogs was estimated with the residuals of the regression of log10(body mass) against log10(snout-vent length) (Ri) [108,109]. Linear mixed models were used to test the link between log(ITDR) and body condition index with site as random factor. Linear model...
