Elena Adams, Christoph Leeb, Alexis P. Roodt et al. · Environmental Sciences Europe · 2021-04 · open access
Abstract Background Although debates about the assessment of potential effects of pesticides on amphibians are ongoing, amphibians are not yet considered in the current EU environmental risk assessment of pesticides. Instead, the risk assessment of potential effects on aquatic amphibian life stages…

- Actin polymerization is not required for the fast block to polyspermy in the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis .
Tembo M, Sauer ML, Wisner BW et al. · microPublication biology · 2021-02 · open access
Fertilization of an egg by multiple sperm presents one of the earliest and most prevalent obstacles to successful reproduction. Eggs employ multiple mechanisms to prevent sperm entry into the nascent zygote. The fast block to polyspermy uses a depolarization to inhibit sperm entry. For some…

Schwenty-Lara J, Pauli S, Borchers A · Genesis (New York, N.Y. : 2000) · 2020-12 · open access
- Dissection of the Ovulatory Process Using ex vivo Approaches.
Tokmakov AA, Stefanov VE, Sato KI · Frontiers in cell and developmental biology · 2020-12 · open access
Ovulation is a unique physiological phenomenon that is essential for sexual reproduction. It refers to the entire process of ovarian follicle responses to hormonal stimulation resulting in the release of mature fertilization-competent oocytes from the follicles and ovaries. Remarkably, ovulation in…
