Frog body condition: Basic assumptions, comparison of methods and characterization of natural variability with field data from Leptodactylus Latrans by Brodeur, Celine Marie, Damonte, María Jimena, Vera Candioti, Josefina, Poliserpi, Maria Belen, D´andrea, María Florencia, Bahl, María Florencia

“…A truly size-independent SMI value was more easily obtained when defining the scaling exponent through a non-linear regression of mass on length rather than when performing a standardized major axis regression of lnweight on lnlength. Overall, it was proved optimal to use a single scaling factor equal to 3.11 to compute SMI of all L. …”

Frog somatic indices: Importance of considering allometric scaling, relation with body condition and seasonal variation in the frog Leptodactylus latrans by Brodeur, Celine Marie, Vera Candioti, Josefina, Damonte, María Jimena, Bahl, Maria Florencia, Poliserpi, Maria Belen, D´andrea, María Florencia

“…The study also highlights the fact that size-independent somatic indices are more easily obtained if the scaling exponent is defined through a non-linear regression of mass on length rather than by performing a standardized major axis regression of lnweight on lnlength. In the case of liver, fat and carcass, the non-linear regression curves were not statistically different amongst sexes and so a single relationship was described for both males and females L. latrans. …”
