We studied a population of large varanid lizards (yellow-spotted monitors Varanus panoptes ) on a floodplain in tropical Australia. Growth records from radio-tracked lizards show that despite their large adult body sizes (to > 7 kg in males), these lizards attained sexual maturity at less than 1…

- Adeno-associated viral tools to trace neural development and connectivity across amphibians.
Jaeger ECB, Vijatovic D, Deryckere A et al. · Developmental cell · 2024-11 · open access
Amphibians, by virtue of their phylogenetic position, provide invaluable insights on nervous system evolution, development, and remodeling. The genetic toolkit for amphibians, however, remains limited. Recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) are a powerful alternative to transgenesis for…

Severgnini MR, de Oliveira MM, Valério LM et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2024-11 · open access
Analyzing the temporal dynamics of ecological communities can shed light on coexistence mechanisms and help understand how populations and communities will behave in the face of climate change. However, little is known about how frog communities respond to climate in urban ecosystems, especially in…
