Nagoya University researchers have identified a gene that plays a crucial role in regenerating neurons of African clawed frog tadpoles, which has an unusually high capacity for nerve regeneration ...

For example, invasive tadpoles of the African clawed frog can recognise and respond to novel predators. This adaptability and competitive ability seems to be contributing to their invasion success.

Life Begins – The Tadpole Stage Once eggs hatch, they become cute little tadpoles! This is what is known as the aquatic larvae stage on a frog’s journey from egg to frog.

This new discovery adds some clarity to that timeline. At about a half foot (16 centimeters) long, the tadpole is a younger version of an extinct giant frog.

Some tadpoles don’t poop for the first weeks of their lives. At least, that’s the case for Eiffinger’s tree frogs (Kurixalus eiffingeri), scientists report September 22 in Ecology.

More than 1,600 endangered Northern leopard frog tadpoles raised at Vancouver Aquarium, an Ocean Wise initiative, were released into a natural habitat in the Kootenays on June 6. This is the sixth ...

Tropical clawed frogs are voracious eaters, mostly snacking on insects. However, they will sometimes eat tadpoles and young frogs of other species.
