We also assessed hatching, growth, survival, and development in caged larvae in situ, and sampled metamorphs for gonadal histopathology. |
Deformation rates of tadpoles and metamorphs thus are expected to be high under agrarian land use. |
Fitness was assessed using burst swim speed for tadpoles and maximum jump distance for metamorphs. |
We photographed emerging metamorphs to determine size at metamorphosis, and recorded their times to metamorphosis. |
In the video, Sevdaliza metamorphs into a sort of cyborg statue of herself, dripping in a fluid silver and coated in TRON-like glowing wireframes. |
Differences in developmental rates of tadpoles and in snout-vent length and body mass of metamorphs and juveniles were also analyzed with general linear models. |
