Frogs: Biology, Ecology & Uses - Animal Science Research Book

Explore a comprehensive collection of global research in the study of frog biology, ecology, and practical uses. This academic text brings together topical studies from researchers around the world to provide a deep look into amphibian science. Readers will find detailed investigations into cellular processes, such as using frog red blood cells to study ion transport pathways across plasma membranes and their regulation. The book also covers neurological studies, including the role of retinal glial cells in glutamatergic neural transmission within the frog retina. Beyond cellular biology, the text examines environmental and evolutionary patterns. It provides a review of how life-history traits differ among frog populations living at various altitudes. Additionally, the book explores the utility of the frog peripheral nervous system as a tool for examining the regulation of the tran. This resource is designed for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of animal science and biology.
