Metabolic correlates of the foraging and social behaviour of dart-poison frogs
(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 ...
Metabolic correlates of anuran behavior
(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 ...
Water balance of terrestrial anuran (Eleutherodactylus Coqui) eggs: importance of parental care
(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 ...
Ecological correlates of anuran exercise physiology
(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 ...
Activity metabolism of the toad (Bufo americanus): Ecological consequences of ontogenetic change
(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 ...
