Research Questions

  1. Do tadpoles excrete more cortisol or corticosterone?
  2. Do tadpoles excrete more corticosterone after ACTH injections?
  3. Does the ACTH stress response change across development?

Background

  • The lateral line is a sensory system that detects motion and pressure in fish & larval amphibians.
  • The sensory end organs are called neuromasts.
  • A gosner stage describes the 46 stages of tadpole development

Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the number of neuromasts will vary more between species than within a species.
