Have you ever looked into the mirror and wondered just how deeply your roots stretch back in the tree of life? It might ...

Puddle frogs show that protecting genetic variation is "essential" for animals to live through global warming, say scientists. Researchers studied the species, that live in tropical wetlands ...

"The frog embryos developed into a ball of cells ... Elizabeth's DNA is entirely different, so she can bring a welcome boost of genetic diversity into the population. "De-extinction tech ...

draytonii and Rana a. aurora, respectively — of the red-legged frog (Rana aurora). But a 2004 genetics study recognized them as separate species, Rana draytonii and Rana aurora. A main distinction: ...

The animal “raised questions,” and researchers decided to take a closer look at the frog’s genetics — then discovered a new species. Rupirana kaatinga, or the white forest frog ...

Biologists have found that lake frogs of the same "appearance" have different mitochondrial DNA. Such heterogeneous genetics probably helps to better adapt to the environmental conditions. [quote]'It ...

Eggs and tadpoles of mountain frogs have developed resistance to genetic damage from ultraviolet radiation, a component of sunlight that is more intense in the thinner air of high altitude.

He used genetic material from specimens in biodiversity collections and analyzed relevant portions of the genome using labs at KU and offsite, looking to accurately place the frog in its family tree.

Remaining relict leopard frog populations suffer from low genetic variation and are vulnerable to extinction due to population fragmentation and the small size and isolation of their remaining habitat ...
