Figure 3
Relationship between rate of change in conductivity (Δ Ci; µS h−¹) and ventral surface area (AV; cm²) in L. caerulea during (A) intermoult and (B) mid-slough periods. Grey circles (
) represent uninfected animals and gradient red circles (
) represent infected animals. Regression line for mid-slough represents an allometric scaling relationship of 0.87 (Ci = 13AV0.87, R2 = 0.72) between surface area and rate of ion loss; grey shading represents 95% confidence interval. Data presented as individual points from n = 33 uninfected frogs, n = 15 (intermoult) or 10 (mid-slough) Bd infected frogs.
