Seasonal acclimatization permits organisms to maintain function in the face of
environmental change. Tadpoles of the green frog (Lithobates clamitans) overwinter as …

Previous analyses of thermal acclimation of locomotor performance in amphibians have only
examined the adult life history stage and indicate that the locomotor system is unable to …

Human-induced climate change is predicted to affect not only the mean temperature of the
environment but also the variability and frequency of extreme climatic events. Variability in …

Among amphibians, the ability to compensate for the effects of temperature on the locomotor
system by thermal acclimation has only been reported in larvae of a single species of …

The effects of acute and developmental temperature on maximum burst swimming speed,
body size, and myofibrillar ATPase activity were assessed in tadpoles of the Pacific tree frog …

Tadpoles of the tailed-frog, Ascaphus truei, exhibit distinct responses to temperature when
placed in laboratory temperature gradients. Thermo-regulatory behavior is evidenced by an …

Abstract The Xizang plateau frog, Nanorana parkeri, has the highest altitudinal distribution of
all frogs in the world and survives the cold of winter without feeding by entering into a …

Reproductive success in thermally varying environments will depend on maintaining
metabolic capacity of tissues that are important in mating behaviours. Here we test the …

Temperature selection in developing bullfrog tadpoles was monitored in the summer and in
the winter. During the summer, premetamorphic tadpoles selected moderate temperatures …

1. A daily rhythm of CTM variation was observed in Rana clamitans tadpoles over a 24-hr
period. 2. 2. The daily variations in CTM appeared to anticipate daily changes in pond …
