[Interpopulation comparison of variations in gastrulation of Rana arvalis and Rana ridibunda occurring under the conditions of anthropogenic contamination of water bodies].

Abstract excerpt

The results of morphometric analysis of gastrulation in city populations of Rana arvalis and Rana ridibunda suggest that under the conditions of anthropogenic contamination of water bodies, the early development is more variable, if we compare less variable sizes of their eggs in the city and suburb populations. The variability of gastrulation appears to depend on the degree of contamination of spawning water...
