DOI: 10.1002/cbf.3710
Abstract: The wood frog (Rana sylvatica) undergoes numerous changes to its physiology and metabolic processes to survive the winter months, including adaptations that let them endure whole‐body freezing. The regulation of key enzymes of central carbohydrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00244-020-00735-w
Abstract: The development of anuran larvae from hatchling through metamorphosis is a particularly sensitive life stage that often is studied to assess adverse effects of water pollution, such as metal contamination. As an integral part of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11010-018-3468-8
Abstract: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS1) represents an important regulatory enzyme of the urea cycle that mediates the ATP-driven reaction ligating ammonium, carbonate, and phosphate to form carbamoyl phosphate. The freeze-tolerant wood frog (Rana sylvatica or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-1204-2
Abstract: Antifouling chemicals have a long history of causing toxicity to aquatic organisms. We measured growth and developmental timing in wood frog tadpoles exposed to the antifouling chemical medetomidine (10 nM–10 μM) starting at two different developmental stages… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2017.06.002
Abstract: The wood frog (Rana sylvatica) can survive the winter in a frozen state, in which the frog's tissues are also exposed to dehydration, ischemia, and anoxia. Critical to wood frog survival under these conditions is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2017.09.003
Abstract: Rana sylvatica, known as the wood frog, can survive extremely cold temperatures during winter by undergoing full-body freezing, where it tolerates freezing of 65-70% of its total body water. During freezing, cellular dehydration decreases damage… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15321
Abstract: Winter climate warming is rapidly leading to changes in snow depth and soil temperatures across mid- and high-latitude ecosystems, with important implications for survival and distribution of species that overwinter beneath the snow. Amphibians are… read more here.
