Stress hormone-mediated antipredator morphology improves escape performance in amphibian tadpoles by Michael E. Fraker, Stuart A. Ludsin, Barney Luttbeg, Robert J. Denver

“…We investigated how predator-induced changes in the tail morphology of wood frog (Rana sylvatica) tadpoles influenced their escape performance over a sequence of time points when attacked by larval dragonflies (Anax junius). Tadpoles were raised with no predator exposure, chemical cues of dragonflies added once per day, or constant exposure to caged dragonflies crossed with no exogenous hormone added (vehicle control only), exogenous corticosterone, or metyrapone (a corticosteroid synthesis inhibitor). …”
