In species with complex life cycles such as amphibians, population regulation can occur in one or multiple stages. Density effects in the larval, aquatic stage of the amphibian life cycle have been widely documented, leading many researchers to assume that this is the stage in which amphibian populations are regulated. However, recent evidence suggests that factors affecting survival and reproduction in the terrestrial stage may play a greater role in the growth and decline of amphibian populations than previously thought. I review the evidence for density-dependent population regulation in the terrestrial stage of amphibians and argue that variation in body size may be an important mechanism linking population density to changes in popula...
