Direct developing organisms obviate the larval intermediary from their ontogeny, hatching as miniature adults. To investigate this phenomenon, we have examined the developmental expression of arginase in the direct developing frog Eleutherodactylus coqui. An enzyme in the ornithine-urea cycle, the a
## 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
