Reproductive parameters of Chalcorana labialis (Anura: Ranidae) from Peninsular Malaysia

Egg clutches of Chalcorana labialis were collected from their natural habitat at Sungai Junjong, Kedah, between March 1998 and February 1999. Egg clutches were typically encountered in temporary pools, rock pools and isolated pools at the edge of the river. In the laboratory several reproductive par...
