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 ...
Post-metamorphic change in activity metabolism of anurans in relation to life history
(Springer: Oecologia, 1984-12)
Newly-metamorphosed individuals of some species of frogs and toads differ from adults in behavior, ecology, and physiology. These differences may be related to broader patterns of the life histories of different species ...
Response to simultaneous dehydration and thermal stress in three species of Puerto Rican frogs
(Springer: Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1984-11)
The response to simultaneous temperature and dehydration stress was examined in three species of Puerto Rican frogs. Eleutherodactylus antillensis is found primarily in hot, arid grasslands at low altitudes. Eleutherodactylus ...
Male parental care and its adaptive significance in a neotropical frog
(Elsevier: Animal Behaviour, 1984-05)
In the Puerto Rican frog Eleutherodactylus coqui, parental care is performed exclusively by males, and consists of attending the eggs and hatchlings at a terrestrial oviposition site. The two major behavioural components ...
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 ...
