The effects of ovine prolactin (oPRL) and ovine (01 or porcine (p) growth hormone (GH) on growth of anuran larvae were compared. In grass frog tadpoles (Rana pipiens), injections of oPRL (10 p,gigmlday) increased tail growth and body weight but had no effect on hindlimb growth or development. The sa
## 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
## 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
