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
During development, spinal cord cells of the frog Xenopus laevis undergo a reduction in size. This phenomenon occurs during neural tube formation and continues at least until the start of metamorphosis. The number and shape of spinal cord cells also changes, but not always in synchrony with the redu
