Mechanisms and Consequences of Developmental Acceleration in Tadpoles Responding to Pond Drying

Many amphibian species exploit temporary or even ephemeral aquatic habitats for reproduction by maximising larval growth under benign conditions but accelerating development to rapidly undergo metamorphosis when at risk of desiccation from pond drying. Here we determine mechanisms enabling developme...
