Anuran reproductive modes: evolving perspectives
ML Crump - Journal of Herpetology, 2015 - meridian.allenpress.com
Although most of the unique ways that frogs reproduce were described in the 1800s and
1900s, additional modes are still being discovered in the 21st Century. The concept of …

Egg-laying site, fecundity and degree of sexual size dimorphism in frogs
Female fecundity is an important selective force leading to female-biased sexual size
dimorphism (SSD) in frogs. Because anurans exhibit diverse reproductive modes, we …
