| a skeletochronological study on a subtropical, riparian ranid (rana swinhoana) from different elevations in taiwan. | we estimated the age, longevity, and growth patterns of a subtropical ranid, rana swinhoana from high (lishing) and low (wulai) elevations using skeletochronology. in addition, we also measured body mass and length of frogs from five other localities. results showed that both snout-vent length and body mass of frogs were significantly correlated with altitudes for both sexes. frogs of lishing were significantly larger and older than that of wulai. we used lags to estimate the age and growth of f ... | 2005 | 15988159 |
