I need to know the scientific name for tadpoles + this isnt very detailed is it? And i thought tadpoles were ambiotic. 60.241.67.65 (talk) 08:58, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Aren't tadpoles larval amphibians, not just frogs and toads?or are they? Steinsky 13:39, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

photo problem
The photo of frog embryos is crowding out the text to the left, so there is a big white blank gap. I'm not sure how to fix this--but I note that html coding is being used here. Deirdre 21:09, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm no expert, but I tried to fix it. 208.170.67.211 17:53, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
1953?
That pointer to 1953 needs to be either a more direct reference to something specific, or removed. James S. 23:05, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Tadpole soup
Why was this removed? Have you researched Cherantais cuisine? How to cook a Tadpole?? Please wright it I need it!!
I've eaten tadpole soup in Royan. It DOES exist in France. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.10.36.201 (talk) 19:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
It is 'soupe de têtards', soup from Royan, Mornac, and the other villages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.41.212.2 (talk) 10:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Idem. Ate it last month in St Sulpice de Royan, a bit wierd but it exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexfromPessac (talk • contribs) 21:14, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Idem. Sign it this time (new and strange addition to Wikipedia)AlexfromPessac (talk) 21:21, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Tail absorption
Sounds like it should be phagocytosis, not apoptosis. Zargulon 13:40, 25 December 2006 (U by XANA BANANA

- Some are. Neotheny (spawning while in a larval stage) is known from several groups of salamanders.Petter Bøckman (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

detailed development
This page is almost redundant with how little it contains.
Anyway, I have a question along with my suggestion for more info on the development. I have some common (european) frog tadpoles in front of me. All of them have a flap only on their left hand side. After closer observation i noticed that this is the operculum (or the tadpole equivalent) as i could see the water being pulsed out by the gulping of water. Then i asked why this is the case, and it seems apparent (to me at least) that this consistent (i.e. always right hand side first [for this species only?]) asymmetrical development explains how they develop lungs while not surrendering gill function; they turn half of their gills into lungs and then the other half. These tadpoles come up to breathe air but still gulp water and use a left-hand-side gill. This kind of info on tadpole metamorphosis would make for a kick-ass article, if only i could find academic sources to back up my observations. And then to find further information on other more detailed processes. 80.176.89.230 (talk) 20:14, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- The question was, can anyone confirm my observations? Or find sources? and Should this kind of info be included? 80.176.89.230 (talk) 20:15, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
