Cocoon surrounding desert-dwelling frogs.

A K Lee, E H Mercer.   

Abstract

A cocoon formed from a single cell layer of shed stratum corneum may reduce water loss from the skin of desert-dwelling frogs while these aestivate in soil-filled burrows. In several Australian examples, the cocoon is a single layer of cells, and thus differs from the multilayered structure obtained from an American species, Scaphiopus couchi.
