| complete genome sequence of a bohle iridovirus isolate from ornate burrowing frogs (limnodynastes ornatus) in australia. | bohle iridovirus (biv) is a species within the genus ranavirus, family iridoviridae, first isolated from the ornate burrowing frog limnodynastes ornatus in australia. the biv genome confirms it is closely related to isolates from boreal toad anaxyrus boreas and leaf-tailed gecko uroplatus fimbriatus within the united states and germany, respectively. | 2016 | 27540051 |
| temperature and uv-b-insensitive performance in tadpoles of the ornate burrowing frog: an ephemeral pond specialist. | animals may overcome the challenges of temperature instability through behavioural and physiological mechanisms in response to short- and long-term temperature changes. when ectotherms face the challenge of large diel temperature fluctuations, one strategy may be to reduce the thermal sensitivity of key traits in order to maintain performance across the range of temperatures experienced. additional stressors may limit the ability of animals to respond to these thermally challenging environments ... | 2014 | 24363412 |
