The fanged frogs of South East Asia (50 species) show remarkable variation in body size, reproductive mode and sexual dimorphism. This study examines the importance of a specialized, primitive trait, relative fang size, in contributing to this divers

Male advertisement vocalization in frogs is known to be one of the energetically most expensive activities of ectothermic vertebrates. Glucocorticoids have marked effects on energy metabolism, and, generally, plasma concentrations of glucocorticoids

The presence/absence of androgen receptors is examined in two sexually dimorphic features of frogs: the nuptial pad and the external oblique muscle. Immunohistochemistry reveals that both males and females possess androgen receptors in these tissues.

Methods of inferring phylogenetic relationships have received an enormous amount of attention in recent years. One missing component in much of this work concerns the analysis of the data being used. Most techniques of phylogenetic inference, includi

A group of Southeast Asian frogs of the family Ranidae are characterized by a suite of unusual secondary sexual characteristics. Males are larger than females, possess bony odontoid processes (fangs) and have enlarged heads. While all members of this

The fanged frogs of Southeast Asia do not express most of the hormone-dependent secondary sexual characteristics such as thumb pads that are common to other ranid frogs. At the same point in the evolutionary history of the group that these androgen-m

While sperm competition may be a major factor affecting relative testis size in vertebrates as a whole, additional hypotheses have not been given much attention in frogs. This is important because sperm competition is relatively uncommon in frogs and

There are a number of species of Southeast Asian Rana that are characterized by an unusual suite of sexually dimorphic features and derived reproductive modes. These frogs lack the usual secondary sexual characteristics of ranid frogs: nuptial pads,

Some Southeast Asian species of the genus Rana possess an unusual suite of secondary sexual characteristics: fangs, hypertrophied jaw muscles, enlarged heads, and males larger than females. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that these frogs form a mono
