الملخص EN

Colorations of anuran tadpoles surely function in many of the same ways that have been ascribed to color and pattern in other animals, but the paucity of data forces one to look to other groups to generate hypotheses.

Such an action often occurs because of the difficulty of defining specific fitness parameters to larval forms.

The commonly muted colorations of tadpoles are typically considered to function only in some form of crypsis, but we discuss other functions in the particular context of behavioral ecology and changes induced by various kinds of coinhabitants.

We review the development, terminology, diversity, and functions of coloration in tadpoles and then pose various questions for future research.

We strongly support a broad-based perspective that calls for an integration of several fields of research.
