Biological factors controlling developmental duration, growth and metamorphosis of the larval green toad, Bufo viridis viridis

The present study in a controlled laboratory setting provided important insights into both the degree of plasticity and the proximal environmental cues operating in the response of green toad tadpoles to pond drying, food level. It was concluded that timing of metamorphosis and size at metamorphosis...
