Early life experience with predators impacts development, behavior, and post‐translocation outcomes in an endangered amphibian
Talisin T. Hammond,Leah E. Jacobs,Matthew J. Curtis,E. Trotman,Ronald R. Swaisgood,Debra M. Shier +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed an anti-predator training program for the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog Rana muscosa and evaluated its impact on morphometrics, developmental rates, behavior, and post-release outcomes.

Age‐dependent effects of developmental experience on morphology, performance, dispersal and survival in a translocated, endangered species
Talisin T. Hammond,Ronald R. Swaisgood,Leah E. Jacobs,Michelle J. Curtis,Bailey A. McCormick,Jacob Aron Hornfeldt,Eric M. Trotman,Debra M. Shier +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the impacts of environmental experience at different developmental stages on morphology, performance and post-translocation dispersal and survival in the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog Rana muscosa were investigated.

Recovering an endangered frog species through integrative reproductive technologies.
Natalie E. Calatayud,Leah E. Jacobs,Christen Lenney Williams,Cynthia C. Steiner,Debra M. Shier +4 more
TL;DR: The mountain yellow-legged frog (R. muscosa) ex situ breeding program EBP is a prime example of the challenges that amphibians EBPs face as discussed by the authors , and the program has increased reproductive output and health of its colony by incorporating reproductive technologies and strategic genetic management in conjunction with a greater understanding of the species' natural history.
Variation in male spermiation response to exogenous hormones among divergent populations of Red-eyed Treefrogs.
TL;DR: The high variation in response and the population-level differences in sperm viability the authors observed demonstrate that practitioners of ART should consider the possibility of divergent responses to hormones which may affect study design and animal receptivity to ART protocols.
