Abstract

ABSTRACTWe assessed the influence of abiotic (pool size, monsoon progression) and biotic (predator abundances) factors on occurrence and abundance of three species of tadpoles by periodically monitoring rock pools in lateritic plateaus. Tadpole responses were positively associated with rock pool size and monsoon progression negatively, but not with predator abundance.
