Abstract
Fellers et al. (2001) defined overwintering in anuran larvae as spending the winter (i.e., June– September in the Southern Hemisphere) as tadpoles. Several environmental factors influence growth and development rates in larval anurans (Saha and Grupta 2011). Among them are temperature (Kaplan 1980, Saidapur and Hoque 1995), photoperiod (Saidapur 1989), rainfall (Lynch and Wilczynski 2005), food quality (Alvarez and Nicieza 2002), and hydroperiod (Ryan and Winne 2001). We know little about larval overwintering sites in anurans and this is one of the major gaps in our understanding of amphibian ecology. Because of this, it is not possible to make a
