Frogs have made significant contributions to Fred Hutch science over the years as a model organism that shares much of our ...

Euthanasia is frequently performed in amphibians, but techniques are currently limited in number and variable in effectiveness. The current study examined the use of potassium chloride (KCl) for ...

The development of hair was of central importance for the evolution of mammals and thus also of humans. However, the evolutionary origin of the genetic program of hair was previously unknown.

RENO, Nev. — Authorities who seized scores of illegal African clawed frogs from Nevada residents say they have traced the creatures — banned because of their potential for ecological damage — to a ...

Go ahead and add killer frog to the list of bewitching things you might find in Golden Gate Park. Researchers at Stanford University tested 23 African clawed frogs and identified three that are ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- University of Notre Dame biologist Sunny Boyd's research is a little like "Match.com" for amphibians. Say you're a female tree frog looking for a mate--how do you choose among a ...

A tiny pond near the mouth of Golden Gate Park is host to as many as 10,000 invasive African clawed frogs so voracious they're a threat to the entire state's rivers and bays. They've consumed the pond ...
