Thermal Tolerance in Anuran Embryos with Different Reproductive Modes: Relationship to Altitude

Anurans are ectothermic animals very sensitive to temperature, mainly during the embryonic stage. In addition, environmental temperature decreases with altitude, and the amphibian fauna changes. Therefore, we studied the relationship between the embryonic thermal tolerances of twelve species of anur...
