Morphometric traits and body condition of Rana temporaria froglets (Gosner stage 45) developing under different temperature regimes. Tadpoles originated from Germany (dark gray; GER) and Croatia (light gray; CRO) and developed under three temperature regimes (OT, T15, T20 – see text for details). After reaching Gosner stage 45 (total tail reabsorption), size (A; SVL, mm) and mass (B; g) were measured, and scaled mass index (C; SMI, g) was calculated (see text). Also, leg length (D; LL, mm, from hip to toe) was measured, and leg length index (E; LLI) calculated (LLI = LL/SVL). Significant differences between populations GER and CRO are indicated with an asterisk. Sample size for OT‐GER and T15‐GER was n = 9; for all other treatments was n = 10.
