Relation between Thyroid Gland, Metamorphosis, and Growth
1. Two substances are involved in amphibian metamorphosis as studied in Ambystoma opacum: first, iodine, which is taken up by the food, and second, an excretor substance, which is evolved during the processes of growth and serves to induce the excretory function of the thyroid gland. 2. This explains why in larvae, whose metamorphosis is inhibited by lack of iodine, growth is checked at the tim...
متن کاملDo effects of mercury in larval amphibians persist after metamorphosis?
Despite widespread concern about the role of environmental contaminants in global amphibian declines, and evidence that post-metamorphic life stages contribute disproportionately to amphibian population dynamics, most studies in amphibian ecotoxicology focus on larval life stages. Studies that focus solely on early life stages may miss important effects of contaminant exposure, such as latent e...
متن کاملOther Diseases of Amphibians
Amphibians have communicable and non-communicable diseases. The following pages provide information on some of these diseases. Chytridiomycosis, Ranaviruses, and mucormycosis are discussed separately. Reviews of diseases are available in: Berger L, Longcore J, Speare R, Hyatt A, Skerratt LF. 2009. Fungal Diseases in Amphibians. In: Amphibian Biology, Volume 8 Amphibian Decline: Disease, Parasit...
متن کاملHighland amphibians and high potencies: a 20-year metamorphosis.
In the late 1980s, the Austrian biologists Christian Endler and Waltraud SchererePongratz, based at the time at the Zoological Institute of Graz University and the Boltzmann Institute Graz, picked up a long-forgotten line of research on amphibian metamorphosis and homeopathic potencies. Rather than merely replicate K€onig’s original experiments conducted in the 1920s, using metal salts they cho...
متن کاملThe Relation Between Cognitive Development and Anxiety Phenomena in Children
We examined the relation between cognitive development and fear, anxiety, and behavioral inhibition in a non-clinical sample of 226 Dutch children aged 4-9 years. To assess cognitive development, children were tested with Piagetian conservation tasks and a Theory-of-Mind (TOM) test. Fears were measured by means of a self-report scale completed by the children, while anxiety symptoms and behavio...
