fertilized eggs in small,
often short-lived ponds.
The tadpoles grow in the
ponds for a period of time
before undergoing a
metamorphosis into an
adult frog. One unusual
characteristic of
spadefoot tadpoles is the
ability to change body
form during development.
Normally most tadpoles
are herbivorous and feed
on plant material.
However, when conditions
in the ponds suggest they
are beginning to dry up
(e.g., an increase in water
temperature or
concentration of organic
waste), a small percentage
of individuals in the
population undergo a
dramatic change in body
form and habit and begin
to eat their competitors.
This ability is considered
to be advantageous as it
both reduces the number
of competitors in the
pond and speeds up the
rate of development of
the transformed tadpoles.
