Amphibian Thermoregulation
Behavior
Estivating
Reduce activity
heliothermy
common among frogs and toads
Basking
Thigmothermy
Heat exchange with substrates
Present most in amphibians
Avoidance occurs when both physiological and morphological are not work. Some on the amphibians with low tolerance for high ambient temperatures will do .
Hibernation
The natterjack
Active during winter, inactive during summer
Also burrowing in summer
Physiological
Extreme condition and for survive
EX: South America frog
Body fluids frozen and also used frost-protective agents glycerin or glucose.
Most amphibian skin is fully water permeable and is therefore not a barrier against evaporation or solar radiation.
morphological
Comparison mammals and birds
There are many ways for the amphibian to control their body temperature
