摘要

Gosner stage 19 tadpoles of Sphaerotheca brevicepswere exposed to constant or progressively decreasingwater levels until metamorphosis with abundant foodsupply. The tadpoles experiencing constant water levels(column height of 40 mm) reached metamorphic climax (MC) in 35.07 ± 0.44 days and metamorphosed at39.00 ± 0.43 days at a mean body mass of 409 ± 9.0 mgand 14.64 ± 0.08 mm snout-vent length. In contrast,the larvae experiencing decreasing water levels (from40 to 12 mm column height) reached MC in 30.93 ±0.35 days and metamorphosed at 34.73 ± 0.35 days ata significantly smaller body mass and size comparedto those reared in constant water levels. In both thetreatments survival of tadpoles was 100%. The studyreveals that S. breviceps tadpoles are capable of developmental plasticity and with progressive decrease inwater levels, the trade-off between growth and development is in favour of development, resulting in earlymetamorphosis at a small size.
