Abstract excerpt
Larval fitness traits were investigated in two anuran species (Bufo calamita and Rana temporaria) under controlled laboratory conditions, and allelic diversity measured in the same individuals at five and seven microsatellite loci, respectively. For both species there were significant differences among sibships in larval growth and development rates, and in some cases also in microsatellite heterozygosity and...
