The tadpole of Osteocephalus cabrerai (Anura: Hylidae) from central Amazonia, Brazil
Herein we describe the tadpoles of Osteocephalus cabrerai based on 37 individuals of eight different development stages. We provide comments on spawning sites and breeding period, and compare these tadpoles with those of congeners. The tadpole of O. cabrerai (Stage 39) is characterized by an ovoid b...
