Abstract

The reduction or loss of lungs in some amphibian species is a rare evolutionary occurrence. The discovery of the first lungless frog sheds further light on the physiological, morphological and behavioral changes that allowed sufficient external respiration in the absence of lungs. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
