Age-and environment-dependent changes in chemical defences of larval and post-metamorphic toads
Background Chemical defences are widespread in animals, but how their production is
adjusted to ecological conditions is poorly known. Optimal defence theory predicts that …

Carry‐over effects of size at metamorphosis in red‐eyed treefrogs: higher survival but slower growth of larger metamorphs
RD Tarvin, C Silva Bermúdez, VS Briggs… - Biotropica, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Most animals have complex life histories, composed of a series of ecologically distinct
stages, and the transitions between stages are often plastic. Anurans are models for …
