Figure 2. The effects of hatching order and family body mass, metamorphic traits and growth rates.

Hatching order influenced body mass at hatching and at metamorphosis for tadpoles reared in isolation (A). Hatch order also influenced growth and developmental rates (B). Family (i.e. egg clutch) did not influence growth rates (C). Differing letters or symbols denote significant differences between hatch orders for each trait (Tukey HSD test, P<0.05).
