FIG. 2 in Dead Spadefoot Tadpoles Adaptively Modify Development in Future Generations: A Novel Form of Nongenetic Inheritance?

FIG. 2. Effects of soil type on growth, development, and trophic morphology. Compared to their siblings reared in the absence of tadpole remains (control soil), by the end of the experiment, those reared in the presence of desiccated conspecifics (tadpole-remains soil) were: (A) larger, (B) more developmentally advanced, and (C) more carnivore-like in trophic morphology. Box plots show quintiles and median (middle horizontal line).
