An amphibian chemical defense phenotype is inducible across life history stages.

Scientific reports - 15 Aug 2017

Bucciarelli Gary M, Shaffer H Bradley, Green David B, Kats Lee B

Abstract excerpt

Inducible phenotypic responses to environmental variation are ubiquitous across the tree of life, but it remains an open question whether amphibian chemical defense phenotypes are inducible. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a key chemical defense trait in North American and Eurasian newts (Salamandridae). We tested if TTX can be induced by exposing populations of adult and larval California newts (Taricha torosa) to...
