Colour and pattern change against visually heterogeneous backgrounds in the tree frog Hyla japonica
Colour change in animals can be adaptive phenotypic plasticity in heterogeneous environments. Camouflage through background colour matching has been considered a primary force that drives the evolution of colour changing ability. However, the mechanism to which animals change their colour and patterns under visually heterogeneous backgrounds (i.e. consisting of more than one colour) has only be...

متن کاملFine structural changes in the endolymphatic sac induced by calcium loading in the tree frog, Hyla arborea japonica.
The growth rate of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals in the endolymphatic sac was modulated, and morphological changes in this organ were observed by light and electron microscopy. When calcium chloride (CaCl2) was given to the three frog for a short period (3 days to 2 weeks), CaCO3 crystal production was accelerated. Epithelial cells enlarged, their rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) and Golg...
متن کاملGhrelin Receptor in Two Species of Anuran Amphibian, Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), and Japanese Tree Frog (Hyla japonica)
We have identified cDNA encoding a functional growth hormone secretagogue-receptor 1a (GHS-R1a, ghrelin receptor) in two species of anuran amphibian, the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), and the Japanese tree frog (Hyla japonica). Deduced receptor protein for bullfrog and Japanese tree frog (tree frog) was comprised of 374- and 371-amino acids, respectively. The two receptors shared 86% identity, a...
متن کاملCorrelation between aquaporin and water permeability in response to vasotocin, hydrin and {beta}-adrenergic effectors in the ventral pelvic skin of the tree frog Hyla japonica.
The ventral pelvic skin of the tree frog Hyla japonica expresses two kinds of arginine vasotocin (AVT)-stimulated aquaporins (AQP-h2 and AQP-h3), which affect the capacity of the frog's skin to absorb water. As such, it can be used as a model system for analyzing the molecular mechanisms of water permeability. We investigated AQP dynamics and water permeability in the pelvic skin of H. japonica...
