Excerpt from Natural History and Resource Use of Four Amazonian Tadpole AssemblagesThe study reported herein focuses on tadpole assemblages in Amazo nian Peru in order to address the general question of how 54 species of anurans with life cycles that include aquatic tadpoles can coexist in a tropical community. The study is primarily descriptive and the specific objectives are to (1) provide baseline ecological data and descriptive natural history of selected tadpole assemblages at a Single site in Amazo nian Peru throughout the duration of an entire rainy season, (2) examine simultaneously all resource dimensions (macrohabitat, microhabitat, sea sonal time, diel time period, and food) previously suggested in the litera ture to be important in interpreting patterns of differential utilization among tadpole Species, (3) examine the interrelationships among tadpole develop ment, diel activity, and microhabitat for species with sufficient numbers, (4) examine evidence suggestive of those causal factors (competition, predation, and abiotic) potentially responsible for resource utilization pat terns, and (5) compare these findings with other studies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
