Polyploidization has been documented across a wide range of vertebrates. Gene
duplication could promote better adaptation to environmental changes and to chronic injury …

The health status of Pelophylax ridibundus species living in anthropogenic pollution sources
in Erzurum (Turkey) were investigated. Firstly, heavy metal concentrations in liver of the frog …

Effects of pollutants on the morphological parameters of Pelophylax ridibundus populations
were examined at two sites in southern Bulgaria: the Rice Fields Tsalapitsa (RF) and the …

In this study, basic erythrocyte sizes in P. ridibundus individuals inhabiting a polluted area
(heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites, and ammonium) in southern Bulgaria were evaluated. The …

The introduction of invasive species is one of the greatest threats currently faced by natural
ecosystems, causing ecological imbalances between native populations and transmission of …

The article presents the basic erythrocyte-metric parameters: cell length (EL) and width
(EW), EL/EW, erythrocyte size (ES), nucleus length (NL) and width (NW), NL/NW, nucleus …

Four populations of Rhinella arenarum from aquatic environments with different degrees of
disturbance in central Argentina were compared to assess the ability of cytomorphology and …

Hematological parameters are key to reflect the health status of animals and their
physiological adaptation to the environment. However, few studies focused on the inter-and …

We examined the blood cell morphology and leukocyte profile in eight adult individuals
(three female and five male newts) of the Himalayan newt (Tylototriton verrucosus) found at …

Hematological parameters values for normal animals can reflect the health status of the
individual and population, as well as the fitness of the species. Here, we determined the …
