Resumen
Predation of eggs and embryos is one reason for early mortality in anurans, and it is known that embryos of several amphibian species can accelerate their hatching as a mechanism to reduce predation risk (Warkentin 2000. Anim. Behav. 60:503–510; Chivers et al. 2001. Oikos 92:135-142). Centro de Investigaciones del Medioambiente Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo
