Effects of Photoinduced Toxicity of Fluoranthene on Amphibian Embryos and Larvae

Embryos and newly hatched larvae of three amphibian species, the spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum), the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens), and the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), were exposed to fluoranthene and ultraviolet (UV) light in two scenarios. Embryos were exposed in a laboratory setting from an early developmental stage through hatching under artificial UV light, and n...

Effect of water hardness on oocyte quality and embryo development in the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).

Husbandry and health of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, greatly influences the quality of oocytes produced. One factor affecting oocyte quality is the water conditions in which females are maintained. Dechlorination and adequate salt concentration are known to affect oocytes, but water hardness has not been considered an important factor in Xenopus husbandry by the research community. ...

A new century of amphibian developmental biology.

Amphibian embryology has a long, rich history tracing back more than century in the recorded literature. Newt, salamander and frog embryos collected in the wild and subject to the keen minds and crafty hands of early embryologists yielded some of the most important first principals of developmental biology, including those of fate maps, egg polarity, embryo polarity, the concept of specificatio...

Comparative developmental toxicity of nickel to Gastrophryne carolinensis, Bufo terrestris, and Xenopus laevis.

The early embryo-larval developmental toxicity of nickel (Ni) to 3 amphibian species, Xenopus laevis (South African clawed frog), Bufo terrestris (southern toad), and Gastrophryne carolinensis (eastern narrow-mouthed toad), was evaluated using a modified FETAX model. Studies were initiated from late blastulae stage (Nieuwkoop and Faber [NF] stage 10 or Gosner stage 12) and completed at a common...

The morphology and attachment of Protopolystoma xenopodis (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) infecting the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis

The African clawed frog Xenopus laevis (Anura: Pipidae) is host to more than 25 parasite genera encompassing most of the parasitic invertebrate groups. Protopolystoma xenopodis Price, 1943 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) is one of two monogeneans infecting X. laevis. This study focussed on the external morphology of different developmental stages using scanning electron microscopy, histology and li...
