Predation pressure during early life stages is often high, but few studies have examined antipredator responses at these stages. We studied the effects of an egg predator (leech, Haemopis sanguisuga) and two tadpole predators (dragonfly larvae, Aeshna spp.; and threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus) on the timing of hatching and morphology of hatchlings and young tadpoles in two anuran amphibians [Rana arvalis (RA) and R. temporaria (RT)] in a factorial laboratory experiment. We also compared the responses of two geographically separated RA populations on the Baltic island of Gotland and in Uppland on the Swedish mainland. We found inconsistent evidence for the predictions that the presence of an egg predator induces earlier hatching, and the presence of a larval predator delays hatching. RT hatched later in the presence of stickleback than in the control treatment, but RA hatched …
