“…Many other motives for tadpole maintenance in a laboratory exist, such as the utilization of these organisms in the indication of the biological state of the environment (Lima & Peixoto, 2007). There are many projects that demand the maintenance of tadpoles in a lab and many obstacles are faced during their upkeep (GRAEFF et al, 2001;MOURIÑO et al, 2006;SÃO PEDRO et al, 2008;MIAUD et al, 2011) These cases reinforce the need for better insight of tadpole species and thus, laboratory structures that occupy little space, maintain controlled abiotic conditions, and enable daily monitoring of the 46 developmental stages. Moreover, it is estimated that in Brazil at least 40% of the anuran species haven't had their tadpoles described (DUBEUX et al, 2020;PROVETE;SILVA, 2012;ROSSA-FERES et al, 2015).…”
