چکیده
Japan, that is, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, Rana brevipoda brevipoda is fbund together with Rana nigromaculata in the Tokai and Kinki districts of Honshu and along the sheres ofthe eastern side of the Inland Sea. Rana brevipoda porosa occurs in the Kanto and Sendai plains and in most ofthe areas along the Shinano River. The fact that the two species are incompletely isolated reproductively from each other was elucidated by MoRiyA (1954, 1960a, b), who divided Japanese pond frogs into five races mainly on the basis of their morphological characteristics.

Frequent development of pancreatic carcinomas in the Rana nigromaculata group.
In 1979, 2 species of pond frogs (Rana nigromaculata and Rana plancyi plancyi) were imported from China, and hybrids were made between these and Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese pond frogs (R. nigromaculata, Rana plancyi fukienensis and Rana brevipoda) that had been kept for a number of years in the Laboratory for Amphibian Biology of Hiroshima University. From 1982, development of tumors, espec...
متن کاملEvolutionary relationships among Japanese pond frogs inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences of cytochrome b and 12S ribosomal RNA genes.
The evolutionary relationships among Japanese pond frogs (Rana nigromaculata, R.porosa porosa, and R. p. brevipoda) were investigated by analyzing nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) and 12S rRNA genes. The nucleotide sequences of 444-bp segment of the cyt b gene and 410-bp segment of 12S rRNA gene were determined by the PCR-direct sequencing method using 18 frogs from 13...
متن کاملPreferred Feeding Sites and Prey of the Adult Gold-spotted Pond Frog, Rana plancyi chosenica
To determine the feeding sites preferred by adult gold-spotted pond frogs, Rana plancyi chosenica, and the foods that induce favorable growth of the frogs in the laboratory, we conducted two separate experiments between 27 May and 12 July 2007 in a vivarium. In the first experiment, we counted the number of crickets eaten by four gold-spotted pond frogs in a 60 min period at four different feed...

Present preliminary scientific trial was designed to investigate of microwave effects on Japanese quails as an animal model. Thirty six three days-old quail chicks were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups and received: A) un-treated tap water, B) tap water boiled by electrical heater and then cooled and C) tap water treated by microwave oven and then cooled. The whole experimental perio...
متن کاملDisease dynamics of red-spotted newts and their anuran prey in a montane pond community.
Long-term monitoring of amphibians is needed to clarify population-level effects of ranaviruses (Rv) and the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We investigated disease dynamics of co-occurring amphibian species and potential demographic consequences of Rv and Bd infections at a montane site in the Southern Appalachians, Georgia, USA. Our 3-yr study was unique in combining dise...
