. 2024 Apr;
64(2):336-353.
PMID: 38621716
A critical component of animal conservation in a changing world is an understanding of the physiological resilience of animals to different conditions. In many aquatic animals, hypoxia (low environmental oxygen...

Womack M, Hoke K
Brain Behav Evol
. 2023 Nov;
98(6):290-301.
PMID: 37913755
Introduction: Shared selection pressures often explain convergent trait loss, yet anurans (frogs and toads) have lost their middle ears at least 38 times with no obvious shared selection pressures unifying...

Albecker M, McKay Strobel S, Womack M
Integr Comp Biol
. 2023 Jun;
63(3):714-729.
PMID: 37279893
Many anuran amphibians (frogs and toads) rely on aquatic habitats during their larval stage. The quality of this environment can significantly impact lifetime fitness and population dynamics. Over 450 studies...

J Exp Biol
. 2022 Apr;
225(10).
PMID: 35481476
Frog larvae (tadpoles) undergo many physiological, morphological and behavioral transformations throughout development before metamorphosing into their adult form. The surface tension of water prevents small tadpoles from breaching the surface...

Brain Behav Evol
. 2022 Feb;
97(3-4):151-166.
PMID: 35152212
