Efecto del tamaño del hábitat en la supervivencia, desarrollo y crecimiento en renacuajos de Engystomops pustulosus (Anura: Leiuperidae) y Rhinella humboldti (Anura: Bufonidae)

Tadpole survival is strongly influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, oxygen, food, larval density, water volume and pond drying. Tadpoles of Engystomops pustulosus and Rhinella humboldti develop in ephemeral habitats with strong differences in their size (space and water volume) around the city of Ibagué, Colombia, and at the campus of the University of Tolima. This work evaluates the effect of three habitat sizes (large, medium, and small) on the survival, development and growth of tadpoles of these species under laboratory conditions. We placed five plastic containers per t...
