Figure Legend

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the caption of Figures 1 and 2. In the originally submitted manuscript, the illustrations of Xenopus developmental stages included in Figures 1 and 2 were reproduced from Xenbase resources without appropriate attribution. These illustrations were created by © Natalya Zahn (2022) as part of the publication “Normal Table of Xenopus Development: A New Graphical Resource” [15] and are publicly available via Xenbase. The correct captions appear below.

Figure 1. Scheme of Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay—Xenopus (FETAX), employed to measure the activity of pollutants during embryo development. Xenopus illustrations © Natalya Zahn (2022) and sourced from Xenbase (www.xenbase.org RRID: SCR_0032803; Accessed on 12 January 2023) [15].

Figure 2. Life cycle of X. laevis staged according to Nieuwkoop and Faber (1956) [6]. Through in vitro and in vivo fertilization, it is possible to follow all stages of early embryonic development. Xenopus illustrations © Natalya Zahn (2022) and sourced from Xenbase (www.xenbase.org RRID: SCR_0032803; Accessed on 12 January 2023) [15].
