brain regions and encephalization in anurans: adaptation or stability?	relative brain size and the relative size of six brain regions (main olfactory bulbs, accessory olfactory bulbs, telencephalon, optic tectum, cerebellum and brain stem) in ten species of anurans from five habitats were examined to determine whether there was any evidence of adaptation in brain structure. a previously published data set was also reanalysed. arboreal frogs have larger body-size corrected brains than frogs from other habitats. arboreal ranid (platymantis vitiensis) and hylid (hyla ...	1995	7749729
urinary corticosterone metabolite responses to capture and handling in two closely related species of free-living fijian frogs.	studies of baseline (unstressed) and short-term corticosterone stress responses in free-living amphibians can provide crucial information on the physiological responses of different populations to environmental change. in this study, we compared baseline and urinary corticosterone metabolite responses of free-living adult males and females of two closely related fijian frogs of the platymantis genus (family: ceratobatrachidae). fijian ground frogs (platymantis vitiana) live on the ground while f ...	2012	22387322
