Tadpoles grow pumped-up tails when stressed out by the threat of predators nearby, a new study finds. These beefed-up tails help the tadpoles escape predators such as dragonfly larvae, according to ...
A little stress can be a good thing -- but if you’re a tadpole, more stress might be even better. Tadpoles exposed to stress hormones over several days grew bigger tails -- all the better for fleeing ...
Some tadpoles don’t poop for the first weeks of their lives. At least, that’s the case for Eiffinger’s tree frogs (Kurixalus eiffingeri), scientists report September 22 in Ecology. Eiffinger’s tree ...

Blind tadpoles were able to process visual information from eyes grafted onto their tails after being treated with a small molecule neurotransmitter drug that augmented innervation, integration, and ...
When it comes to the smallest of creatures, the hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules together to form 'surface tension' lend enough strength to support their mass: think of insects that skip ...
