Competition between Common Frog, Rana temporaria, and Natterjack Toad, Bufo calamita, Tadpoles: The Effect of Competitor Density and Inteaction Level on Tadpole Development

Richard A. Griffiths

Abstract

The effect of common frog tadpole density and level of interspecific interaction on the development of natterjack toad tadpoles was studied using a replicated pond experiment. Growth, mass at metamorphosis, date of metamorphosis, and survival were used as measures of the response to interspecific competition
