K L Slack et al.
The emergence and spread of infectious diseases is a significant contributor to global amphibian declines, requiring increased surveillance and research. We assessed host-vector-parasite dynamics using a population of eastern hellbender sal...
The Role of Vibration Amplitude in the Escape-Hatching Response of Red-Eyed Treefrog Embryos [0.03%]
振动幅度在红眼树蛙胚胎逃逸孵化反应中的作用
