Embryos and Tadpoles of the Eurythermal Baja California Chorus Frog (Pseudacris hypochondriaca) Show Subtle Phenotypic Changes in Response to Daily Cycling Temperatures.

Abstract excerpt

AbstractEnvironmental thermal fluctuations influence fitness-related organismal traits. Investigations of ectothermic physiology must include cycling thermal regimes because such fluctuations are increasing with environmental change. We used the eurythermal Baja California chorus frog (Pseudacris hypochondriaca) to examine developmental responses to daily temperature cycles informed by recorded field conditions...
