Funded Activity Summary

Ecophysiology of water-holding frogs in the Australian arid-zone. Water-holding frogs of arid-zone Australia have an Aboriginal heritage and cultural significance, but many aspects of their natural history, physiology and reproduction are poorly known or documented. We will examine behaviour, physiology, endocrinology, reproductive cycles and movements for these frogs (Cyclorana, Neobatrachus, Notaden, Heleioporus) while active on the surface, and cocoon formation, subterranean movements and dynamics of water exchange with the soil, metabolic depression, muscle ATP energetics, endocrinology and aspects of reproduction while aestivating underground. We have the expertise and prior experience to accomplish all aspects of the proposed studies.
