Frogs, They Are A-Changin: a story of metamorphosis
Amphibians (frogs, salamanders, and caecilians) go through a process of development called metamorphosis. They are the only vertebrates (they have a backbone) to complete true metamorphosis although some fish, such as zebrafish (Danio rerio) go through a partial metamorphosis too. That said, many species of marine invertebrates (no backbone… or bones at all) go throughContinue reading “Frogs, They Are A-Changin: a story of metamorphosis”
