Amin, N. M., Womble, M., Ledon-Rettig, C., Hull, M., Dickinson, A., & Nascone-Yoder, N. (2015, July 11). Developmental Biology, Vol. 405, pp. 291–303.

MeSH headings : Amphibians; Animals; Anura / embryology; Cell Lineage; Developmental Biology; Embryonic Development; Immunohistochemistry; Models, Animal; Morphogenesis; Organogenesis; Regeneration; Species Specificity; Xenopus laevis / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Amphibian and Reptile Biology; Aquaculture disease management and microbiota; Antimicrobial Peptides and Activities
TL;DR:
The Budgett's frog is described, an unusual species with eggs that are over twice the diameter of laboratory Xenopus, and embryos that can tolerate higher temperatures to develop into a tadpole four times more rapidly, which substantially accelerates the pace of experimentation.
