Physiological and morphological correlates of extreme acid tolerance in larvae of the acidophilic amphibian Litoria cooloolensis
E. A. Meyer, C. E. Franklin, R. L. Cramp
This study investigates acid tolerance in Litoria cooloolensis larvae by comparing Na+ balance and morphology under different pH conditions, finding that chronic exposure to low pH allows maintenance of Na+ balance through enhanced uptake and protective morphological adaptations.
