Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, background): “Trade-offs between development and other important factors related to fitness such as postmetamorphic performance [83-85] and immune function [86] have also been observed.”
Movement ecology of amphibians: A missing component for understanding population declines (2014, background): “habitats (Beck and Congdon, 2000; Scott et al., 2007; Lowe, 2009) and reduced performance due to disease (Cheatsazan et al.”
A comparative analysis of the adaptive developmental plasticity hypothesis in six Mediterranean anuran species along a pond permanency gradient (2006, background): “Small size at metamorphosis may reduce resistance to parasites (Goater, 1994), may lead to a major risk of water loss during post-metamorphic life (Newman and Dunham, 1994), may affect locomotor performance and the metabolic rates of metamorphs (Beck and Congdon, 2000; Richter-Boix et al. 2006), and”
Quantifying functional connectivity: Experimental evidence for patch-specific resistance in the Natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) (2004, background): “The body size of a toad could indeed modify its locomotor performance, as is the case in adult Bufo bufo Goater et al. 1993 and B. terrestris Beck and Congdon 2000 .”
Impacts of climate change on the amphibians and reptiles of Southeast Asia (2010, background): “This can lead to early emergence from aquatic environments, which may reduce aquatic predation, but also can result in reduced size and mass (Crump 1989), which increases post-metamorphic predation and reduces lifetime fitness (Sibly and Atkinson 1994; Beck and Congdon 2000).”
