Weight-specific rates of aquatic oxygen consumption (V โข O 2 , ยตl O 2 g -1 h -1 ) at 23ยฐC were determined for water-breathing (e.g., forcibly submerged) bullfrog tadpoles as functions of stage of development and O 2 tension (PO 2 ). The V โข O 2 at an O 2 tension near that of air-saturated water (PO
This study describes the development of different spontaneous and elicited behaviors of frogs and their relationship to morphological, physiological, and ecological changes of metamorphosis. Tadpoles were studied at all stages of development from Stage XVIII, the onset of metamorphosis, to Stage XXV
Adults of Rana catesbeiana maintained for 4 days in 12:12 light/dark regimen exhibited a rhythmic color change of 24 hr. Under constant light, however, the rhythm disappeared, and the reflectance values gradually became greater, that is the animals became lighter. Under constant darkness, the rhythm
