Symbiotic Fermentation, Digesta Passage, and Gastrointestinal Morphology in Bullfrog Tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana)

Relative to other herbivorous vertebrates, the nutritional ecology and digestive physiology of anuran larvae remain poorly understood. Our objective was to compare gut structure and inhabitants, digesta passage, and microbial fermentation in bullfrog tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana) to those in other her...
