The role of ambient temperature and body mass on body temperature, standard metabolic rate and evaporative water loss in southern African anurans of different habitat specialisation

Temperature and water availability are two of the most important variables affecting all aspects of an anuran’s key physiological processes such as body temperature (T(b)), evaporative water loss (EWL) and standard metabolic rate (SMR). Since anurans display pronounced sexual dimorphism, evidence su...
