Reproductive colonization of land by frogs: Embryos and larvae excrete urea to avoid ammonia toxicity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
Frogs have evolved terrestrial eggs many times, offering an excellent opportunity to assess traits that may facilitate aquatic‐to‐terrestrial transitions. Our results suggest the importance of physiological adaptations and physiological plasticity during early life stages, specifically the early onset of urea excretion, its upregulation under dry ...
