INCREASING HUMAN ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES THROUGH ADAPTATION TO STRESSFUL SITUATIONS

Local adaptation of an anuran amphibian to osmotically stressful environments.

Water salinity is an intense physiological stress for amphibians. However, some species, such as Bufo calamita, breed in both brackish and freshwater environments. Because selection under environmentally stressful conditions can promote local adaptation of populations, we examined the existence of geographic variation in water salinity tolerance among B. calamita populations from either fresh o...
