Uricotelism and low evaporative water loss in a South American frog.

V H Shoemaker, D Balding, R Ruibal, L L McClanahan.   

Abstract

A South American anuran (Phyllomedusa sauvagii) produced large amounts of semisolid urate when it was maintained on a diet of insects. Rates of evaporative water loss in Phyllomedusa sauvagii were only about 5 to 10 percent of those other anurans tested and were similar to those of lizards of comparable size.
