These species lack tadpoles, with the eggs hatching directly into miniature frogs.
Young isopod crustaceans hatch directly into a manca stage, which is similar in appearance to the adult.
The eggs probably hatch directly into small salamanders.
One species lacks tadpoles, with the eggs hatching directly into froglets.
The eggs hatch directly into froglets instead of tadpoles.
"All species of Eleutherodactylus are characterized by direct development, in which eggs hatch directly into small frogs, completely bypassing the tadpole."
Embryonic development takes place 29-30 days and froglets hatch directly from eggs forgoing the tadpole stage.
There are no larval stages; the eggs hatch directly into a juvenile form, and sexual maturity is generally reached after 6 moults.
It is believed that direct development of the young takes place with juvenile frogs hatching directly from the eggs.
Instead, juvenile tessaratomids (called nymphs), hatch directly from the eggs.
