Although tadpoles may well be excellent organisms to use as bioindicators of heavy metal contamination, the relationship of deposition in the body compared to the tail, and the effect of sediments or other debris in the digestive tract on heavy metal concentrations is unknown. We examined the effect
## Abstract Frog pituitaries, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropinreleasing hormone (LH/FSHβRH) were tested to determine their effectiveness in eliciting the spermiation response in laboratoryβreared male bullfrogs (__Rana
## Abstract We tested the hypothesis that respiratory development would be retarded in tadpoles reared in aquaria in which a barrier prevented access to the airβwater interface. To test this hypothesis, we examined swimming behavior and respiration in intact tadpoles and gill and lung respiratory a
## Abstract Bullfrog tadpoles subjected to the daily disturbance of water replacement demonstrated differences in the rates of growth and metamorphosis and in fatbody weights which depended on the time of day when water replacement occurred. Early daily disturbances stimulated larval growth whereas
