Variation in the growth and development of the hind limbs in frogs of the genus Telmatobius (Anura: Telmatobiidae).

abstract：:Histological and electron-microscopical studies of the head-kidney ontogenesis in a group of bottomspawner and mouthbrooder cichlid fishes reveal that this organ undergoes three functional and structural stages. At the initial stage, 2-12 days after fertilization, the head-kidney is a filtering organ of two glomeruli ...
