Allometric scaling relationships of jumping performance in the striped marsh frog Limnodynastes peronii.
We constructed a force platform to investigate the scaling relationships of the detailed dynamics of jumping performance in striped marsh frogs (Limnodynastes peronii). Data were used to test between two alternative models that describe the scaling of anuran jumping performance; Hill's model, which predicts mass- independence of jump distance, and Marsh's model, which predicts that jump distanc...
متن کاملStriped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii) tadpoles do not acclimate metabolic performance to thermal variability.
Human-induced climate change is predicted to affect not only the mean temperature of the environment but also the variability and frequency of extreme climatic events. Variability in an organism's developmental environment has the potential to markedly affect an individual's growth trajectory and physiological function, leading to impacts on individual fitness and population dynamics. Thus, it ...
متن کاملBeneficial acclimation: sex specific thermal acclimation of metabolic capacity in the striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii).
Reproductive success in thermally varying environments will depend on maintaining metabolic capacity of tissues that are important in mating behaviours. Here we test the hypothesis that cold acclimation will occur in those tissues that are important for reproduction, and that acclimation will be sex specific, reflecting behavioural differences between the sexes. We used the frog Limnodynastes p...
متن کاملEmbryonic Developmental Temperatures Modulate Thermal Acclimation of Performance Curves in Tadpoles of the Frog Limnodynastes peronii
Performance curves of physiological rates are not fixed, and determining the extent to which thermal performance curves can change in response to environmental signals is essential to understand the effect of climate variability on populations. The aim of this study was to determine whether and how temperatures experienced during early embryonic development affect thermal performance curves of ...
متن کاملLife in acid: interactive effects of pH and natural organic acids on growth, development and locomotor performance of larval striped marsh frogs (Limnodynastes peronii).
The low pH of naturally acidic aquatic environments is the result of soft-water with low buffering capacity and high concentrations of natural organic acids. Our current understanding of the influence of pH on aquatic organisms is largely limited to laboratory studies conducted under controlled conditions with little incorporation of these organic acids. Recent studies suggest natural organic a...
