Covering: up to the beginning of 2023 Many animals release volatile or semi-volatile
terpenes as semiochemicals in intra-and inter-specific interactions. Terpenes are important …

Anuran amphibians (frogs and toads) typically have a complex life cycle, involving aquatic
larvae that metamorphose to semi-terrestrial juveniles and adults. However, the anuran …

Intraspecific chemical communication in frogs is understudied and the few published cases
are limited to externally visible and male-specific breeding glands. Frogs of the family …

Steroid hormones are C18‐C21‐sterane derivatives, featuring the typical 6–6–6–5 ring
system. Here we report on a novel C18‐steroid ring system named batrachane with a …

In many amphibians, males have sexually dimorphic breeding glands, which can produce
proteinaceous or volatile pheromones, used for intraspecific communication. In this study we …

Present study was carried out on the rodent pest, Rattus rattus to determine the chemistry of
the clitoral gland (CG) of mature female house rats and its role in sexual and social …

Frogs of the families Mantellinae and Hyperoliidae possess male specific femoral or gular
glands that are used during courtship. These glands release volatile compounds, eg the …

Some amphibians use chemical signals in addition to optical and acoustical signals to
transmit information. Males of mantellid frogs from Madagascar and hyperoliid frogs from …

Breu canauaru is well-known in the Brazilian Amazon for its purported medicinal and
magical properties, but its origin has remained an enigma for centuries. Locals commonly …

The aquatic‐to‐terrestrial shift in the life cycle of most anurans suggests that the differences
between the larval and adult morphology of the nose are required for sensory function in two …
