Reproductive Decisions in Anurans: A Review of How Predation and Competition Affects the Deposition of Eggs And Tadpoles

The selection of breeding habitat has broadscale implications for species distributions and community structure and smaller-scale ramifications for offspring survival and parental fitness. In anurans, offspring deposition is a decisionmaking process that involves the assessment of multiple factors at a breeding site, including the presence of predators and competitors. Evolutionary theory predicts that adult anurans should seek to minimize the...
