Abstract
Inhibition of the release call in gravid female frogs facilitates maintenance of the male's clasp so that oviposition and spawning can occur. Arginine-8 vasotocin inhibits the release call by causing an accumulation of water and internal pressure.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
