Limbs were amputated through the thigh in stages from V onward in Rana pipiens, R. sylvatica, and Pseudacris nigrita tadpoles to establish regenerative capacity. Normal regenerates were produced through stages XII, XI, and XIII, respectively, for the three species. However, hypomorphic forms with re
Macrophage-like cells in the tail mesenchyme of bullfrog tadpoles were isolated and characterized. These cells actively ingested latex beads into their perinuclear cytoplasm and thyroid hormone was essential for their survival in vitro. The requirement for this hormone is a unique property of these
## Abstract This study provides the first data on muscle activity patterns during active feeding in a larval anuran. Data regarding muscle function during gill irrigation and hyperexpiration are also provided. Electromyographic and kinematic data were recorded from six mandibular and hyoid muscles
