The phrase "amphibians based on" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing characteristics, classifications, or studies related to amphibians that are derived from a particular source or foundation.
Example: "The research focuses on amphibians based on their evolutionary adaptations to different environments."
Alternatives: "amphibians derived from" or "amphibians influenced by".
Cornell University Press has published a study of reptiles and amphibians based on 15 years of research at the property.
(718-636-4100) www.bAm.org A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD -- This original musical about the travels of amphibians, based on the children's books by Arnold Lobel, is something of a family affair.
In addition, confirmed records of reptiles and amphibians based on voucher specimens collected within Yasuní National Park and around TBS were included.
Although amygdala nuclei have been considered homologous between mammals, birds, reptiles and some amphibians, based on comparison of developmental and anatomical data, such similarities are less obvious within the teleost brain (Moreno & González, 2007).
Here we present a first comparative analysis of LTR REs for anuran amphibians based on a full depth coverage transcriptome of the European pool frog, Pelophylax lessonae, the genome of the African clawed frog, Silurana tropicalis (release v7.1), and additional transcriptomes of S. tropicalis and Cyclorana alboguttata.
Therefore, we consider A. means and A. tridactylum gigantic species, as they are among the largest extant amphibians, and based on the information above we consider P. cretacea, A. jepseni, A. pholeter, plethodontids, and rhyacotritonids to be small taxa.
The results of this study, based on one of the largest systematic sampling of limb deformities in wild amphibian populations to date, suggest that the composition of landscapes surrounding wetlands affects rates of limb malformation.
An amphibian assay (XEMA) based on the T3-dependent metamorphosis of tadpoles using the model X. laevis has been developed and is now being validated (Degitz et al. 2005; Opitz et al. 2006).
To address dermal toxicity, an amphibian skin corrosion test based on OECD TG 431 was successfully used.
Lethal and teratogenic potentials of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) in their amorphous form were investigated by the standardized Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus (FETAX), a 96-h in vitro whole-embryo toxicity test based on the amphibian Xenopus laevis.
As such, a number of studies of amphibian diversification utilize paleobiogeographic calibrations based on the timing of separation of landmasses as estimates of the minimum divergence time between two taxa or clades.
