Discussion

  • Frogs are assumed to differ from tadpoles by del_M only
  • Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
  • mod_1: time-length and time-weight data added for embryo/tadpole stage
  • mod_2: repod data revised, data added: stage durations, length-weight and age-temperature

Facts

  • Lack tongue and ears, but have a lateral line; Is tetraploid and obligate aquatic (Ref: Wiki)
