Libros, near Teruel in northeast Spain. Adult frogs are characterized by the preservation of …

The morphological characteristics of the leptodactylid integument of Proceratophrys and
Odontophrynus genera were investigated by means of stereoscopic, low vacuum scanning …

Abstract The Eocene Geiseltal Konservat-Lagerstätte (Germany) is famous for reports of
three dimensionally preserved soft tissues with sub-cellular detail. The proposed mode of …

The adaptation of amphibians to diverse environments is closely related to the
characteristics of their skin. The complex glandular system of frog skin plays a pivotal role in …

Amphibian skin is a complex organ with dermal glands which, according to their
morphology, are classified as acinar and alveolar (both usually known as mucous glands) …

Recent studies have described the giant tadpole, delayed metamorphic transformations, and
absence of postmetamorphic growth of the skeleton of Pseudis Platensis. These features …

Chemical defenses in amphibians are a common antipredatory and antimicrobial strategy
related to the presence of dermal glands that synthesize and store toxic or unpalatable …

Bufo ictericus integument was investigated by stereoscopic, low vacuum scanning electron
microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy. The studies revealed …

In this study, the development of integument and cutaneous glands in the toad Rhinella
granulosa (Bufonidae) at different larval stages and in postmetamorphic and adult forms was …

In Rhinella ornata, the integument of different body regions was investigated using low-
