Fig. 7. (A—D) Influence of temperature acclimation on maximum speed during locomotion, U_max, in (A) tadpoles and (B) adults of the striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii) and (C) tadpoles and (D) adults of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis). (E) Influence of temperature acclimation on the time from last stimulus to 50 % tetanic relaxation, RT_1/2, of isolated gastrocnemius muscle from adult X. laevis. From Wilson and Franklin (1999, 2000) and Wilson et al. (2000) with permission. Values are means ± S.E.M. (A, N=15; B—E, N=10-12). Asterisks denote significant differences between groups (P<0.05).
