[HTML][HTML] Stress hormones mediate developmental plasticity in vertebrates with complex life cycles

RJ Denver - Neurobiology of Stress, 2021 - Elsevier
The environment experienced by develo** organisms can shape the timing and character
of developmental processes, generating different phenotypes from the same genotype, each …

Rapid adaptation to invasive predators overwhelms natural gradients of intraspecific variation

A Melotto, R Manenti, GF Ficetola - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Invasive predators can exert strong selection on native populations. If selection is strong
enough, populations could lose the phenotypic variation caused by adaptation to …

The relative importance of prey-borne and predator-borne chemical cues for inducible antipredator responses in tadpoles

A Hettyey, Z Tóth, KE Thonhauser, JG Frommen… - Oecologia, 2015 - Springer
Chemical cues that evoke anti-predator developmental changes have received
considerable attention, but it is not known to what extent prey use information from the smell …

Visual recognition and coevolutionary history drive responses of amphibians to an invasive predator

A Melotto, GF Ficetola, E Alari, S Romagnoli… - Behavioral …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
During biotic invasions, native prey are abruptly exposed to novel predators and are faced
with unprecedented predatory pressures. Under these circumstances, the lack of common …

Determinants and co‐expression of anti‐predator responses in amphibian tadpoles: A meta‐analysis

T Hossie, K Landolt, DL Murray - Oikos, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
A wide range of taxa respond to perceived predation risk (PPR) through inducible defenses,
and many prey are capable of responding both behaviorally and morphologically to the …

Visual environment of rearing sites affects larval response to perceived risk in poison frogs

CA Fouilloux, JL Stynoski… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.biologists.com
Turbidity challenges the visual performance of aquatic animals. Here, we use the natural
diversity of ephemeral rearing sites occupied by tadpoles of two poison frog species to …

Eye‐body allometry across biphasic ontogeny in anuran amphibians

SJ Shrimpton, JW Streicher, DJ Gower, RC Bell… - Evolutionary …, 2021 - Springer
Animals with biphasic lifecycles often inhabit different visual environments across ontogeny.
Many frogs and toads (Amphibia: Anura) have free-living aquatic larvae (tadpoles) that …

Effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide and predation threat on the behaviour of agile frog tadpoles

Z Mikó, J Ujszegi, Z Gál, A Hettyey - Ecotoxicology and Environmental …, 2017 - Elsevier
The widespread application of pesticides emphasises the importance of understanding the
impacts of these chemicals on natural communities. The most commonly applied broad …

Tadpole responses to environments with limited visibility: what we (don't) know and perspectives for a sharper future

CA Fouilloux, CAM Yovanovich… - Frontiers in Ecology and …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Amphibian larvae typically inhabit relatively shallow freshwater environments, and within
these boundaries there is considerable diversity in the structure of the habitats exploited by …

Spatially heterogeneous selection in nature favors phenotypic plasticity in anuran larvae

J Van Buskirk - Evolution, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Theory holds that adaptive phenotypic plasticity evolves under spatial or temporal
variation in natural selection. I tested this prediction in a classic system of predator-induced …
