The role of phenotypic plasticity and corticosterone in coping with pond drying conditions in yellow‐bellied toad (<i>Bombina variegata</i>, Linnaeus 1758) tadpoles Open
Amphibian larvae inhabiting temporary ponds often exhibit the capacity to accelerate development and undergo metamorphosis in challenging conditions like desiccation. However, not all species exhibit this ability, the yellow‐bellied toad (…

Effects of background color on pigmentation, morphological traits, and behavior in the European tree frog (Hyla arborea, Hylidae, Anura) tadpoles Open
Amphibian tadpoles are capable of avoiding threats (predators, uv radiation, etc.) through changes in coloration, behavior, and shape. In this paper, we tested how quickly European tree frog ( Hyla arborea ) tadpoles can change body pigmen…

What coloration brings: Implications of background adaptation to oxidative stress in anurans Open
Background Urban development results in habitat destruction, affecting populations of amphibians, the most fragile group of vertebrates. With changes in the environment, these animals become more exposed to light and predators. To enhance …

Carry-Over Effects of Desiccation Stress on the Oxidative Status of Fasting Anuran Juveniles Open
Amphibians are sensitive to deteriorating environmental conditions, especially during transition to a terrestrial environment which is full of uncertainties. Harsh conditions, such as desiccation during earlier stages, affect different lar…

Effects of Desiccation on Metamorphic Climax in Bombina variegata: Changes in Levels and Patterns of Oxidative Stress Parameters Open
In this paper, we examined how the oxidative status (antioxidant system and oxidative damage) of Bombina variegata larvae changed during the metamorphic climax (Gosner stages: 42—beginning, 44—middle and 46—end) and compared the patterns a…

Asymmetry in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis under different levels of urbanization: The effect of trait and FA index selection Open
The use of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as a measure of developmental instability and its relationship to stress and fitness is highly controversial. We examined whether the selection of different FA indices and traits influences the results…

The ventral cranial size and shape variation between males and females of European brown frogs: Rana dalmatina, R. graeca and R. temporaria (Anura, Amphibia) Open
Sexual size and shape dimorphism is a very common phenomenon widely studied in the field of evolutionary biology. The differences between sexes are related to their life strategies and driven by the two evolutionary processes, sexual and n…

Distribution and diversity of brown frogs (Rana spp., Anura, Amphibia) in Serbia Open
In this study, we present updated distribution data for all three brown frog species (Rana spp.) inhabiting Serbia. The data provided consists of newly collected field records and compiled data previously published in literature or via Int…

Patterns of cranial sexual dimorphism in the yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata, Bombinatoridae) Open
This study provides first insight into patterns of adult cranial size and shape sexual dimorphism in the yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata). Our results revealed significant cranial sexual size and shape differences in this species, w…

The study of larval tail morphology reveals differentiation between two Triturus species and their hybrids Open
In amphibians, morphological differentiation and disparity at the larval and post-metamorphic ontogenetic stages can diverge, owing to various contrasting environments and different selective pressures. In the monophyletic clade of nine Tr…

Post-metamorphic ontogenetic changes in head size and shape of the pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae, Ranidae) Open
Post-metamorphic ontogenetic variations of head size and shape were investigated in the pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae, Ranidae). We showed that allometry is an important aspect of the post-metamorphic ontogeny of the pool frog as most of …

Morphological Integration and Alternative Life History Strategies: A Case Study in a Facultatively Paedomorphic Newt Open
Tetrapod limbs are serially homologous structures that represent a particularly interesting model for studies on morphological integration, i.e. the tendency of developmental systems to produce correlated variation. In newts, limbs develop…
