Emerging model systems in eco-evo-devo: the environmentally responsive spadefoot toad.

Abstract excerpt

Spadefoot toads have emerged as a model system for addressing fundamental questions in ecological and evolutionary developmental biology (eco-evo-devo). Their tadpoles produce a wide range of adaptive phenotypes in direct response to diverse environmental stimuli. Such phenotypic plasticity offers an excellent opportunity to examine how an organism's ecology affects its development as well as how an organism's...
