Effect of corticosterone on larval growth, antipredator behaviour and metamorphosis of Hylarana indica

Highlights • Chronic exposure to CORT causes slower growth & development, delays metamorphosis. • Chronic exposure to CORT enhances antipredator behavior. • Chronic exposure to CORT affects hindlimb development and jumping performance. • CORT decelerates growth and development in early, mid &...

Summary:Highlights • Chronic exposure to CORT causes slower growth & development, delays metamorphosis. • Chronic exposure to CORT enhances antipredator behavior. • Chronic exposure to CORT affects hindlimb development and jumping performance. • CORT decelerates growth and development in early, mid & late larval stages. • CORT boosts antipredator behavior & delays metamorphosis in early & mid stages.
