Small-scale spatial and temporal variation of life-history traits of common frogs (Rana temporaria) in sub-Arctic Finland
Small-scale spatial and temporal variation in abiotic and biotic environmental conditions can lead to large differences in mean values of important life-history traits in ectothermic vertebrates, such as amphibians. However, relatively little is known about small-scale variation in life-history trai...
