1. High-latitude species (and populations within species) are adapted to short and cold summers. They often have high growth and development rates to fully use the short growing season and mature ...

Flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old - Liu Lab/Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cyborg tadpoles with electrodes grown into their brains ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Inside the African clawed frog, intestines grow just like humans’: neatly coiled counterclockwise. Experiments now show how that process can go awry. Interfering with tadpoles’ metabolism leads to a ...

A 161 million-year-old fossil, linked to a line of extinct frog-like amphibians, is the oldest tadpole ever found. By Asher Elbein The metamorphosis of a frog from baby to adult is one of nature’s ...

Some tadpoles break the rules of biology. Instead of developing lungs as they grow, they lose them entirely and still manage to survive. A recent study from Cornell University found that these ...

Nearly 600 California red-legged frog tadpoles were released into Santa Monica Mountains streams recently, marking an emergency conservation success for a species that vanished from the area more than ...
