The exponential increase in species introductions during the Anthropocene has brought
about a major loss of biodiversity. Amphibians have suffered large declines, with more than …

One of the most important and obvious forces shaping organismal traits is predation. Prey
have evolved diverse means of enhancing the probability of survival in the face of predation …

The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by
developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between …

The recognition that invasive alien species (IAS) are among the greatest threats to
biodiversity has stimulated a growing interest in their impacts on native amphibians. Here …

Phenotypic plasticity is traditionally defined as the capacity of a given genotype to render
alternative phenotypes under different environmental conditions. Some studies focus on the …

Phenotypic plasticity has been studied intensively in experimental settings but infrequently
in nature, and therefore the relevance of experimental findings is poorly known. This is …

I studied anatomy, gut content, and the relationship among these traits in a set of anuran
tadpoles. Larval stages (mainly Gosner stages 31–36) of nineteen species from various …

Squamates classified as 'subarenaceous' possess the ability to move long distances within
dry sand; body elongation among sand and soil burrowers has been hypothesized to …

Many prey species, including amphibian larvae, can adaptively alter coloration and
morphology to become more or less conspicuous to predators. Despite abundant research …

The outcome of species interactions is often strongly influenced by variation in the functional
traits of the individuals participating. A rather large body of work demonstrates that inducible …
