Abstract:
Variation in age structure and body size benefits are identified to understand the evolution of life history. Here, we estimated the age structure and body size of two species of odorous frogs (Odorrana margaretae and Odorrana grahami) by using skeletochronology. The ages at sexual maturity of O. grahami and O. margaretae in both sexes were 1 and 2 years, respectively. For both sexes, the maximum age observed in O. margaretae was six years. For O. grahami, the maximum age observed in males and females were 4 and 5 years, respectively. Males and females did not differ in mean age in the two species. The average body size of both species considerably differed between sexes, with females being larger than males. The body size of females was also larger than that of males when the effect of age was removed. We also found positive correlations between body size and age within each sex in O. margaretae, but only for female in O. grahami. The female-biased sexual size dimorphism of the two species suggested that fecundity selection for larger female size may increase the reproductive output.
