Open circles represent breeding localities; inset shows position in the state of counties from which R. sylvatica is recorded. Adult Characteristics Snout-vent lengths of adult male wood frogs in Alabama averaged mm (SD = , N = 20), and adult females averaged mm (SD = , N = 18).

Adult Characteristics Snout-vent lengths of adult male wood frogs in Alabama averaged mm (SD = , N = 20), and adult females averaged mm (SD = , N = 18). These values are smaller than those given by Martof and Humphries (1959) for wood frogs in northern Georgia and western North Carolina (males: x = mm; females: x = mm). Berven (1982a) discovered size differences along an altitudinal gradient from Maryland (lowland populations) to western Virginia (montane popula- tions). Mountain males and females were larger (males: x = mm; females: x = mm) than individuals from lowland populations (males: x = mm; females: "x = mm). Because Berven hypothe- sized that selection acted primarily on egg size and that selection for.
