Sensory afferent segregation in three-eared frogs resemble the dominance columns observed in three-eyed frogs
The formation of proper sensory afferent connections during development is essential for brain function. Activity-based competition is believed to drive ocular dominance columns (ODC) in mammals and in experimentally-generated three-eyed frogs. ODC formation is thus a compromise of activity differences between two eyes and similar molecular cues. To gauge the generality of graphical map formati...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of major histocompatibility complex class IIB alleles from three species of European ranid frogs
Immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are among the most polymorphic genes in the vertebrate genome. Due to their polymorphic nature, they are often used to assess the adaptive genetic variability of natural populations. This study describes the first molecular characterization of 13 partial MHC class IIB sequences from three European ranid frogs. The utility of previously...
متن کاملTúngara frogs
Why are they called túngara frogs? As in most frog species, males call to attract females. Unlike most other frog species, túngara frogs produce both simple and complex calls. A simple call consists of a frequencymodulated sweep called a ‘whine’, while a complex call is a whine plus one to six or seven broadband ‘chucks’. The name ‘túngara’ frog is onomatopoeically derived from the male’s call:...

متن کاملBirds and Frogs
S ome mathematicians are birds, others are frogs. Birds fly high in the air and survey broad vistas of mathematics out to the far horizon. They delight in concepts that unify our thinking and bring together diverse problems from different parts of the landscape. Frogs live in the mud below and see only the flowers that grow nearby. They delight in the details of particular objects, and they sol...
