Trade-off between larval development rate and Post-metamorphic Traits in the Frog Rana latastei (2006, background): “More generally, there is evidence that growth rate is optimised to local conditions rather than maximised to be as fast as possible ( Arendt, 1997, 2003; Morgan and Metcalfe, 2001; Fischer et al., 2004; Stoks et al., 2005).”
Carnivory and resource‐based niche differentiation in anuran larvae: implications for food web and experimental ecology (2009, background): “Artificial diets manipulated in experiments with larval anurans typically consist of rabbit food, fish flakes or mixtures of these ingredients (see e.g. Morin, 1983; Werner, 1991; Arendt, 2003).”
Body shape, burst speed and escape behavior of larval anurans (2005, unknown): “Because larger tadpoles are generally faster swimmers (Wassersug and Sperry 1977, Van Buskirk and McCollum 2000b, Richardson 2001b, 2002, Arendt 2003), better at escaping predator attacks (Caldwell 1982, arena.”
