Seasonality in terai tree frog (Polypedates teraiensis): Role of light and temperature in regulation of seasonal breeding

Publication date: Available online 14 December 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Bijoy Krishna Borah, Zothanmawii Renthlei, Amit Kumar TrivediAbstractSeasonality is represented as an initiation-termination-reinitiation of any physiological processes. Photoperiod is the most predictable environmental cue which organism use to time their daily physiology and seasonal functions. In natural light environmental conditions, day and night components change in terms of duration, intensity and spectrum of light available. In many vertebrate species, daytime light intensity and spectrum of light play a critical role in gonadal recrudescence-regression cycle. In tropical conditions, many amphibian species show a clear relationship between reproduction and sea...
