This study shows that microplastic exposure in Rana dalmatina tadpoles disrupts predator-induced risk-taking behavior without affecting other antipredator responses.

The paper shows that infected tadpoles lower their body temperature more than uninfected ones, suggesting behavioral anapyrexia as a response to virus infection.

The paper shows that juvenile agile frogs avoid infected conspecifics but do not isolate themselves, suggesting spatial avoidance may reduce disease transmission while lack of self-isolation may not be pathogen-driven.

This study finds urban-dwelling tadpoles have higher heat tolerance than woodland ones, but this difference disappears in a common-garden experiment, suggesting phenotypic plasticity drives the response, with no sex effect on heat tolerance.

This study examines the combined effects of pyrethroid insecticides and winter conditions on juvenile common toads, finding that mild winters reduce mortality and that insecticide exposure does not significantly affect survival or morphology.

This study investigates whether chytrid fungus infection causes sex ratio distortion in common toads through sex reversal rather than sex-dependent mortality.
