Nd = tadpoles with oral deformities corresponding to JS = lack of keratinization only in jaw sheaths, TR = lack of keratinization, with non-disrupted supporting tissue, only in tooth rows, JT = lack of keratinization in jaw sheaths and tooth rows, and JSD-Proxy = jaw sheath dekeratinization with or without dekeratinization in tooth rows; Nn = normal tadpoles.
