Age and body size of Rana amurensis from northeastern China
Current Zoology, 2011 Age and body size are two important demographic traits that determine the life history strategies of populations and species. We measured these two parameters of Rana amurensis, at a 900 m and a 500 m altitude site in northeastern China. At the two sites,
