Weight-specific rates of aquatic oxygen consumption (V โข O 2 , ยตl O 2 g -1 h -1 ) at 23ยฐC were determined for water-breathing (e.g., forcibly submerged) bullfrog tadpoles as functions of stage of development and O 2 tension (PO 2 ). The V โข O 2 at an O 2 tension near that of air-saturated water (PO

Vascular adrenergic sensitivity to exogenous catecholamines was examined in tadpoles of the American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), ranging from stage III to XIV. Central arterial blood pressure was measured in decerebrate bullfrog tadpoles to determine a reasonable initial infusion pressure. Solution
Although tadpoles may well be excellent organisms to use as bioindicators of heavy metal contamination, the relationship of deposition in the body compared to the tail, and the effect of sediments or other debris in the digestive tract on heavy metal concentrations is unknown. We examined the effect
## Abstract The pattern of connectivity between motoneurons of the lumbar lateral motor column (LMC) and hindlimb regions was examined in bullfrog tadpoles (__Rana catesbeiana__) over the course of larval development. The purpose of this study was to determine if a period of relatively imprecise co
This study describes the development of different spontaneous and elicited behaviors of frogs and their relationship to morphological, physiological, and ecological changes of metamorphosis. Tadpoles were studied at all stages of development from Stage XVIII, the onset of metamorphosis, to Stage XXV
