## Abstract Differences in nuclear DNA content in vertebrates have been shown to be correlated with cell size, cell division rate, and embryonic developmental rate. We compare seven species of anuran amphibians with a threeβfold range of genome sizes. Parameters examined include the number and dens

## Abstract Observations of a sea urchin larvae show that most species adopt one of two life history strategies. One strategy is to make numerous small eggs, which develop into a larva with a required feeding period in the water column before metamorphosis. In contrast, the second strategy is to ma
## Abstract Embryos of the direct developing frog, __Eleutherodactylus coqui__, provide opportunities to examine frog early limb development that are not available in species with tadpoles. We cloned two retinaldehyde dehydrogenase genes, __EcRaldh1__ and __EcRaldh2__, to see which enzyme likely su
