Testes in Anura are paired spherical or ovoid organs lying on the ventral side of kidneys.
They are usually situated near the medial anterior part of the kidneys. Each testis is …

This book deals with reproduction of Amphibians belonging to three extant orders:

Anatomy: Ovaries in anuran amphibians are paired organs lying on the ventral side of the
kidneys. In adult females ovaries are much bigger than kidneys, because they are filled with …

Water contamination is one of the factors influencing the decline of amphibians. Flutamide is

Aquatic contaminants and infectious diseases are among the major drivers of global
amphibian declines. However, the interaction of these factors is poorly explored and could …

We have described the architecture of Bidder's organ, defined its compartmented structure,
and affirmed the presence of basal laminae. We did not find morphological differences …
