Phenotypic Variation Through Ontogeny: Thyroid Axis Disruption During Larval Development in the Frog Pleurodema borellii

Phenotypic Variation Through Ontogeny: Thyroid Axis Disruption During Larval Development in the Frog Pleurodema borellii

Studies of the effects of thyroid hormones on larval development in the frog Xenopus spp. have provided baseline information to identify developmental constraints and elucidate genetic and hormonal mechanisms driving development, growth, and life history transitions. However, this knowledge requires...
