(2011-05-02)
The superorder Xenarthra (former Edentata) is grouped into two orders, Cingulata (armadillos) and Pilosa (anteaters and sloths). These are special mammals
that show unique traits: (1) the existence of secondary articulations ...
No longer a leap in the dark: the importance of protein as an energy source in amphibians
(2019-09-18)
Amphibian nutrition has been highlighted as one of the disciplines requiring more investigation to support ex situ conservation programs. Specifically, anuran metabolism related to dietary nutrients is not yet investigated ...
Colouration in amphibians as a reflection of nutritional status: The case of tree frogs in Costa Rica
(2017-08-24)
Colouration has been considered a cue for mating success in many species; ornaments in males often are related to carotenoid mobilization towards feathers and/or skin and can signal general health and nutrition status. ...
Effect of dietary carotenoids on vitamin A status and skin pigmentation in false tomato frogs (Dyscophus guineti)
(2014-09-29)
Several species in captivity develop nutritional diseases including vitamin A deficiency; cases of this disease have been documented in amphibians, which may be linked to an insectivorous diet lacking in vitamin A or ...
Gaining insights in the nutritional metabolism of amphibians: analyzing body nutrient profiles of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis
(2019-08-07)
Whole bodies of Xenopus laevis (n = 19) were analysed for chemical composition
and morphometrics. The nutrient profile (macronutrients, amino acids, fatty acids
and minerals) was evaluated by sex; interactions among ...

The interplay between voluntary food intake, dietary carbohydrate-lipid ratio and nutrient metabolism in an amphibian, (Xenopus laevis)
(2018-12-07)
Digestion of food and metabolism of frogs are little studied at the moment, and such processes could be very particular in the case of amphibians, given their ectothermic and carnivorous nature which may lead them to use ...
