    • Activity metabolism of the toad (Bufo americanus): Ecological consequences of ontogenetic change 

      Taigen, Theodore; Pough, F. Harvey (Springer: Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1981-06)
      Following metamorphosis, juvenile toads form dense, heliothermic aggregations on the margins of the ponds from which they emerge. After a period of growth and development, during which body mass increases ten-fold, the ...

    • Ecological correlates of anuran exercise physiology 

      Taigen, Theodore; Emerson, Sharon; Pough, F. Harvey (Springer: Oecologia, 1982-01)
      Studies of exercise physiology of anuran amphibians have led to the suggestion that there is a dichotomy between species that depend upon movement to escape from predators and species that utilize static defenses. This ...

    • Metabolic correlates of anuran behavior 

      Taigen, Theodore; Pough, F. Harvey (Oxford University Press: American Zoologist, 1985)
      Frogs exhibit extensive diversity in their repertoires of social, reproductive, defensive, and predatory behavior, and in the metabolic processes that support these activities. Three aspects of anuran biology (foraging ...

    • Metabolic correlates of the foraging and social behaviour of dart-poison frogs 

      Pough, F. Harvey; Taigen, Theodore (Elsevier: Animal Behaviour, 1990-01)
      The foraging and social behaviour of four species of Panamanian dart-poison frogs, Dendrobatidae, were recorded and that information was combined with an analysis of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and with published ...

    • Water balance of terrestrial anuran (Eleutherodactylus Coqui) eggs: importance of parental care 

      Taigen, Theodore; Pough, F. Harvey; Stewart, Margaret (The Ecological Society of America: Ecology, 1984-02)
      The terrestrial eggs of the coqui of Puerto Rico are brooded almost continuously by the male parent from the time of oviposition until the fully metamorphosed hatchlings emerge from the eggs 15-20 d later. The gelatinous ...
