Larval growth in polyphenic salamanders: making the best of a bad lot.

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Polyphenisms are excellent models for studying phenotypic variation, yet few studies have focused on natural populations. Facultative paedomorphosis is a polyphenism in which salamanders either metamorphose or retain their larval morphology and eventually become paedomorphic. Paedomorphosis can r...
