Abstract
Hypomelanism in natural populations is rare and has been anecdotally associated with developmental retardation and mortality when present in anuran larvae. We report multiple, recent cases of hypomelanism across 5 populations in 2 counties in Connecticut. We also experimentally confirm that this phenotype is associated with extremely delayed metamorphosis and increased mortality.
