Life-history traits of Rana temporaria were studied in an alpine French population and in the
literature. In the living frogs, mean adult body length was greater in females than in males …

Age profile and body size were studied in three populations of the rare and understudied
tomato frog, Dyscophus antongilii, from NE Madagascar. For each individual, a phalanx was …

In recent years the population of Rana temporaria from Laghi Paradiso (northern Italy)
declined without any appearing reason. We applied skeletochronology to study the age …

Age structure and growth of the Caucasian parsley frog, Pelodytes caucasicus from Turkey
was assessed using phalangeal skeletochronology. Snout-vent length (SVL) ranged from …

The thymus of the adult frog Rana temporaria is generally small each winter and grows
through the spring to reach a large size each summer. The summer thymus has a cortex full …

Skeletochronology has become the most widely used method of ageing amphibians.
However, bone remodelling, double lines and rapprochement of peripheral lines all hamper …

Longevity and age at sexual maturity were estimated in two anurans from the arid Isalo
Massif (southern-central Madagascar), the blue-legged frog (Mantella expectata) and the …

During the present study, we obtained data via skeletochronology on the age structure of
Levant water frog, Pelophylax bedriagae, in Lake sülüklü (Manisa, Turkey). The mean snout …
