Western spadefoot toads breed and deposit their fertilized eggs in small, often short-lived ponds. The
tadpoles grow in the ponds for a period of time before undergoing a metamorphosis into an adult frog.
One unusual characteristic of spadefoot tadpoles is the ability to change body form during development.
Normally most tadpoles are herbivorous and feed on plant material. However, when conditions in the
ponds suggest they are beginning to dry up (e.g., an increase in water temperature or concentration of
organic waste), a small percentage of individuals in the population undergo a dramatic change in body
form and habit and begin to eat their competitors. This ability is considered to be advantageous as it
, both reduces the number of competitors in the pond and speeds up the rate of development of the
transformed tadpoles.
If global climate change continues (as predicted) to increase the average temperature of habit - Answer:
Spadefoot toads would likely evolve to have a higher percentage of toads become carnivorous.
Male peacocks compete with one another to mate female peacocks. Males with more colorful tail
