Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “Phenotypic plasticity during larval development associated with unpredictable environments has been reported for innumerable amphibian species, and decades of experimental data support the existence of potentially lethal costs due to adaptive plasticity (3, 33, 74).”
Maternal and genetic contributions to geographical variation in Rana temporaria larval life-history traits (2002, background): “Anurans along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients have been the subject of several studies of geographic variation in life-history traits with reciprocal transplant (Berven, 1982a,b) and common environment (e.g. Berven et al., 1979; Berven, 1982a,b; Gollmann & Gollmann, 1996; Merilä et al., 2000) ”
Do common frogs (Rana temporaria) follow Bergmann's rule? (2005, unknown): “Several studies have found evidence for genetic differentiation in larval traits (e.g. developmental rate and size at metamorphosis) along latitudinal gradients (e.g. Merilä et al. , 2000; Laugen et al. , 2002, 2003; Laurila et al. , 2002) .”
