[Effect of monochromatic light on the growth and development of larva of the brown frog Rana temporaria L].
Acceleration of the growth and development of R. temporaria larvae under the effect of short-wavelength light was observed in experiments. However, the highest linear and weight parameters of postmetamorphic juveniles were recorded upon exposure to yellow and green light, and the lowest parameters, upon exposure to blue light. The red zone of the light spectrum had no apparent effect on the development of tadpoles and juvenile frogs.
