This study evaluates water-borne corticosterone as a physiological indicator in common frog larvae, finding it reflects internal corticosterone but does not detect nitrate stress responses.

This study examines how developmental temperature affects heat tolerance and physiological costs across life stages in Xenopus laevis, finding simultaneous gains in heat tolerance and cumulative physiological costs.

This paper synthesizes meta-analytical and mechanistic evidence to identify conditions under which microplastic exposure leads to harm, neutrality, compensation, or stimulation in animals.

This study shows that amphibian larvae's microbiome adapts to warming and poor food, improving their performance and heat tolerance, more than changes in gut structure.

The paper examines the effects of microplastic exposure on growth and stress physiology in Xenopus laevis larvae, finding that growth is negatively impacted while stress and health markers remain unchanged.

This study investigates how nitrate pollution and thermal stress interact to affect amphibian larvae's metamorphic and physiological traits.

This study examines how common toads respond physiologically to warmer winters and late spring freezes, finding increased energy expenditure and reduced cold tolerance in warmer-acclimated toads.

This study quantitatively synthesizes data on thermal tolerance and acclimation capacity of amphibians and freshwater fishes to identify drivers and patterns of physiological sensitivity to climate change.
