title: Impact of water temperature on larval development of the eastern tree frog (Hyla orientalis, Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae) in laboratory rearing
abstract: The eastern tree frog ( Hyla orientalis ) is declining at the northern and eastern periphery of its range. Restoration of declining amphibian populations is possible through laboratory breeding and reintroduction. This paper presents the results of a study of larval development of H. orientalis at different water temperatures. Captive-born larvae were reared in 18 individuals in containers of 39 × 28 × 28 cm filled with 18 litres of water. The rearing from the transition of the larvae to exogeno
